The temperature also plays a huge part of this (warmer in the afternoon).</li> <li>Inclement weather plan for outdoors, I don&rsquo;t want to stress you out but other than rain.</li> <li>You can have a beach wedding and have a tent large enough for your guests, if need you can also rent heaters. </li> <li>Keep in mind that these rentals add up very quickly. </li> <li>The beach is usually closed during this timeframe, check out how the beach will be cleaned and maintained before you wedding. </li> <li>Choose a dress that your ladies should not be too cold in and/or purchase a complementing wrap for them to wear during the ceremony as their gift. This is if the dresses do not come with a wrap. </li> </ul> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/beach-wedding-in-ny-in-october#post-455368 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:32:30 +0000 rosychicklet 455368@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>What do they do in case of rain?&nbsp; Is there a tent?&nbsp; I think you could make it work- even if your bridesmaids are a little chilly during pictures.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/beach-wedding-in-ny-in-october#post-454870 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 08:58:57 +0000 SueMavelle 454870@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hi bees!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I may have made a poor decision here concerning date and location.&nbsp; Understand I've only been engaged fo a week (exactly, even!), so this is all really new to me.&nbsp; So, some background:</p> <p>My man's parents are members of a small beach club in Atlantic Beach that happens to do weddings in the off-season (after Labor Day through end of May).&nbsp; Before even getting engaged I considered how nice it would be to get married there.&nbsp; Fall is my hubby's favorite season so I looked at some dated in September and October and discovered that 10/10/10 falls on the Sunday of a three day weekend.&nbsp; We checked with the club, and the date is available and they have already pencilled us in! (this additionally means my engagement will be less than a year.&nbsp; EEK!)</p> <p>Now I am worrying more about the weather.&nbsp; Sure I checked historiccal weather on that date for the past ten years and highs were in the low 70s, lows in the upper 50s.&nbsp; It seems very nice on paper, but I'm concerned about the beach being colder (what is comfortable for a walk on a boardwalk isn't necessarily comfortable for my wedding party in their pretty dresses).&nbsp; Reception is indoors, but ceremony is outside!&nbsp; I've never been to an outdoor wedding in the fall, certainly never one on the beach.</p> <p>What do you think hive?&nbsp; Am I crazy?&nbsp; Should I try to find an indoor location or may this be just crazy enough to work?</p>
