I avoided July like the plague in Pennsylvania, so my thought is that it would be too hot for sure in FLA. 
I live in Florida & try not to be outside for very long in July. I think it would be uncomfortable for you and your guest.
My daughter lives in Miami and got married in Feb. She absolutely refused to have a summer wedding. Unless you have are having an indoor ceremony and reception, I wouldn't do it. It is very hot and extremely humid that time of year.
On the hand, Jan-Feb-March-- beautiful time of year in South Florida! My favorite time of year to visit.
I'm currently a florida transplant, and July is not a fun time. Now a brief beach ceremony during sunset followed by the option of an airconditioned reception is fabulous. Also keep in mind it RAINS like crazy randomly every day for 1 to 8 minutes at a time. You have to always have a back up plan.
I went to an outdoor wedding in July in South GA and it was miserable. It made DH and I change our minds about an outdoor wedding.
We got married indoors in July in South GA and it was unbearable to be outside for 20 minutes for pictures. I think you, your FI, and guests will be MUCH more comfortable inside.
My friend got married in Miami at the beginning of June and I was so miserable. Thank God only the ceremony was outside. i got married outside in May and it was on the warm side but still nice. Early June (and late in the day) is the latest I would plan an outdoor wedding in Florida.
Unless it is completely inside, it would be sweltering. Plus, as a PP stated, it storms almost every afternoon during the summer. Good for cooling down, not good for outdoor weddings.
ok well thanks everyone for your help, It def. is gunna make things hard, do you think that if i had a wedding in may that i would have enough time to plan and give enough notice to guests to make it? thats only five months away, and all my family is up in the midwest.
I'm getting married in a garden... in July... in Alabama. Things we are doing to "beat the heat": providing fans for guests and having the ceremony at 7 pm. I'm not worried about it!
We are doing it! lol
But we are doing a evening beachside wedding with an inside AC reception.
It can be nice outside in July, or it can be really hot and humid. It depends on the weather. (which is variable).
I wouldn't do it all outside in July in sarasota.
But I would provide water and fans (which we are doing)
I think July in Florida is a tough call, due to the heat and humidity. I went to an outdoor wedding here in Massachusetts in July and it was REALLY uncomfortable due to the humidity...I can only imagine Florida would be worse! I'd vote for something indoors, or minimize the outdoor time for guests!
I went to an outdoor wedding in June in Florida once, and all the men's shirts were soaked with sweat by the end of the ceremony (which wasn't very long). PP's ideas of having an evening wedding (beachside would be great with the breeze coming off the water) and providing water and fans for the guests would make it a lot more comfortable for the guests (the wedding I went to was in the hot afternoon sun and no fans or water or anything were provided).
I had mine in April (in Tampa) in the evening and it was too hot. We did an outside ceremony and inside reception so it wasnt too bad for long. But I thought it would be nice in April but it was really warm when you were all dressed up.
I would honestly worry more about rain than heat.Not to mention it is hurricane season from June 1- November 30. Although there may not be a storm to worry about at the time, why stress about it at all?
For this reason we will be married the end of March.
@danymarie: Why can't you do it in one of the fall months so you're not rushed on planning? I think anytime after September would be MUCH more comfortable for your guests. My FSIL & FBIL got married in NYC in July, and when we were taking the photos my poor FMIL was lobster pink and sweating and clearly very uncomfortable. Please don't do that to your guests, especially your older guests.
I live in FL right by the ocean, where it tends to be cooler in the summer than other places such as Orlando, but I'd still say no on a summer wedding. I don't think I'd go any closer to summer than late April/early May.
July is def. one our hottest months, behind August. I would recommend against a daytime wedding in July- maybe closer to sunset (although thats around 8pm during the summer!) I attended a wedding last July, outdoors, and even in my sundress I was drenched in sweat. And the poor guys in the tuxes-dripping!! If you are near the ocean, there is potential for a breeze, but thats not always a guarantee either. The upside to a July wedding is that many places do offer a discounted rate during the hottest summer months, due to less business-- its worth asking for!
I got married outside in June in Florida on the beach. It wasn't too hot, our ceremony was at 5pm and even in my wedding dress I wasn't dripping sweat. (Florida is actually cooler than Kansas/Missouri in the summer.) Our wedding was in Jupiter, FL.
I live in Deerfield Beach, and it would be too hott I think. Not only that but it rains a lot during this time because it is hurricane season. In Florida it gets super humid in the summer. I would choose a winter month instead
