As the first day of summer is rapidly approaching, and the heat is rising all over the world – I thought it would be a great idea to share some refreshing summer treats! These are great ideas for a wedding, picnic, summer luncheon, or lounging by the pool! Enjoy!<\/p>\n

1. These ice cubes are such an amazing detail that can be used for the bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, wedding, or just for fun on Wednesdays! Lol. LOVE them! I got the idea from a great website with lots of cool Design it Yourself ideas, check it out here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Yup – that’s right, home made ice cream! What great favors – or even a happy ending to your bridal shower if you have invited a lot of friends with kiddos… Get directions on how to make them, with labels you can print, here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Of course I couldn’t leave out the fans… these little charms have been a favorite for outdoor wedding guests for years – but the designs have become more modern and personalized. See these beauties here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Having a Champagne bar is a great way to serve refreshments for cocktail hour – and you can use these ideas for any type of drinks you like – even mocktails! Check out the details here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

5. These fun non-alcoholic drinks are made from wine grapes, sparkle just a bit, and are a wonderfully effervescent alternative to an alcoholic toasting beverage. You can order it online or find a store near you that carries it, here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

6. You can look up recipes for mists online but Martha Stewart has shared a couple of great ones – and these will not only help you and your guests stay cool in the heat – but there are a couple of bonuses to these all natural ingredients too – see them here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

7. Lemons are very refreshing, why not make a batch of this candied lemon zest to put out at the bar, on tables, or to use in a personal cocktail made just for you!? Lemon also pairs very nicely with other flavors like blueberry, and even lavender! See this recipe from Martha Stewart here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
