Only my ceremony is outside and then we are headed inside for the reception, so I'm not doing anything specifically for that. I assume people will wear appropriate attire for the outdoors ceremony (I made note of this on my wedding website).
One of my friends got married at the end of September. The ceremony was outside and it was warm and comfortable. She then had a tented reception outside - I have to say that it was absolutely crucial that she put the flaps down on the tent and rented heaters. It was perfectly comfortable and wonderful inside the tent, but if you went outside to use the restroom it was absolutely freezing. I can't imagine what it would have been like if she hadn't gotten the heaters.
I don't know what part of the country you are in, but I think that in New England if you are having something outdoors in October, definitely rent some heaters.
Well my wedding is october 16th but I'm not too terribly worried about it being cold as my wedding is in Texas! The big tall patio heaters would be a good idea though...
We're renting patio heaters and making sure our guests know to bring a sweater or jacket. That's it. I mean, October can get chilly but it's not like it's the middle of winter or anything.
Yeah, I agree, October isn't bad. Especially in L.A., where we'll be having our wedding. But my mom keeps bugging me about making sure everyone stays warm, as mom's do! She wants a tent but I don't!
heaters are good! I had an Oregon march wedding (cold) and we served hot drinks at the cocktail hour and then once everyone was dancing it was nice to go our where it was cooler! But we had a space heater at the dinner part and i found out my sister (who lives in Hawaii) was so cold she put it next to her table! I was glad we brought it!
We had an outdoor wedding last October in a 3 season tent that holds about 200 people. We ordered 2 heaters and it worked perfectly. I think it was about $2-300 for both heaters.
I'm glad you said it was LA which should be a bit warmer than Ohio - it's not uncommon for snow in October.
ours is in late sept. which ia a gamble, but our venue offers outdoor heaters for under the tent if things get cool
Haha I'm more concerned with keeping my guests cool. It's not usually cold in October in Texas so I'm making program fans. Hopefully it's not cold cause the ceremony and reception are outdoors. They'll just have to dance to keep warm. :)
Mine is end of October in the SF Bay Area. As Sept and Oct are the warmest months in the bay area, i'm hoping it would be okay. the ceremony is outside but the reception is indoors.
10/10/10 we're getting married at noon and having our ceremony outside in Colorado (there will be sunscreen and water available before and after the ceremony), and serving hot apple cider during the cocktail hour on the patio, weather permitting. Or if it's too miserable we'll all cram into 1/3 of the ballroom and have cocktails in the back lobby. Lunch will be inside, in a big space with windows, so I'm not worried about the weather in there unless it's really sunny and makes the room look gloomy!
My wedding is October 17th in GA, I'm not very worried about it being warm or not, but there are a few of those tall heaters you see at restaurants that my venue has available for us.
i really dont want a tent but starting to think i might need one and a few heaters. Beach wedding -- our back up is the house but I would rather find ways to keep everyone inside.
We're getting married October 2 in Virginia. The ceremony will be at 3 and the reception will be over by 7 or 8 so we're not terribly worried about whether or not it gets cold. I figure if someone is afraid of getting cold they'll bring a sweater.
same here Miss Cake!! it doesnt get cold in tx till late november
We're gettting marriend Oct 16th in Santa Barbara. I'm more concerned about keeping my guests cool and from getting sunburnt than I am about it being cold! I may provide parasols or cute hand fans on the seats. The ceremony's gonna be short and sweet though so hopefully it wont be much of a problem!
I am not worried about it because our wedding is in San Diego. The past couple of years, it has been quite an indian summer and very warm in October. Luckily, with our venue, if for some odd reason it is unusually cold, we can order some heat warmers the day of.
My wedding is in Cleveland. It could snow or it could be 80. The weather has been nice for the last 60 years (I looked it up on the internet) on that date. However, our venue has the patio heaters, just in case!
We're getting married on a small beach in Maryland on the 2nd of October. The ceremony is around 3. Our Octobers are pretty warm. I'm more worried about rain.
We did have the heaters for our November wedding. We also put out some inexpensive fleece throws we found at walmart. Tied the bundles up with twine and a note that said "Stay Warm & Snuggle", we did a couple baskets full of them.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
.... just wondering. We are contemplating renting those super tall heater pole thingies you see on patios at restaurants.
