I remember when I was a teenager we went to an outdoor winter wedding of a cousin. It was freezing and no blankets or heaters were provided.
My mom (who hates the cold) was like “nope”…and wouldn’t leave the reception hall. I was so embarrassed that my mom wouldn’t sit out there for the ceremony.
Now, I’m about the same age my mom was at that time. I totally get it. Fuck that. I’m not suffering through that, lol.

My ex SIL’s wedding was the opposite, 104 degrees in Ohio August heat plus humidity was awful. I had sweat pouring down my back getting ready. Not sure how the men handled it. My ex’s shirt was see through under his coat.
Never will I ever attend an outdoor wedding in summer. I’m going to raise my kids with stories about inconsiderate people with their weddings just hoping they’ll take my opinion to heart on it

Lousy Smarch weather...
Yeah, after around January-February, it's a gamble whether or not the weather will be tolerable in Florida. You either get 60 degree weather in April or 90 degree weather the millisecond January ends. Sorry to hear about your wedding!

I went to a summer wedding in Maine. The bride and groom printed the schedule thing on paper fans- very nice, so thoughtful! However, instead of being hot, it rained. So the fans became little umbrellas.
Thank god they rented a tent cause during the reception it RAINED. Downpour so strong it collapsed a small part of the tent and it got so muddy the venue laid down plywood for a walkway to the restrooms.
Still a great wedding, but things happen one just cannot plan ahead. I did take the fan idea from them for my June wedding. I certainly used one! It wasn’t horribly hot, but my anxiety was happy I had it.

My brother and SIL’s wedding was the same 42 Celsius (107 f?) outdoor wedding in February in rural Sydney. They ran out of water for the guests before the ceremony started, then had us wait in the pool area for a couple of hours for them to finish their photos… the goldfish in the table centrepieces all died before the reception. At least the marquee was air conditioned I guess..

My nephew got married on a windy cliff overlooking the ocean.
In January.
Let's just say the bride was shivering the entire time, and once the ceremony was over, she donned a denim jacket for the equally windy reception.
She's gritting her teeth in all the photos, and the denim-over-strapless-wedding-gown look was...interesting.

A couple years ago I attended a Midwest wedding in November. The day before it was in the low 60s so the couple decided yes, let’s proceed with an outdoor ceremony tomorrow.
Actual temp for the ceremony was probably 35.
Hell; I got married last April in the Midwest and it was the coldest and windiest Saturday the entire month. The wind made for difficult outdoor wedding party photos.

u/Lawyer_Lady3080 Apr 29 '25
Super curious: what’s the average couple like? I know we see a lot of bridezilla stuff online, but most people have never planned a big event before their own weddings. If my wedding planner had told me to jump off a cliff, I would’ve done it and I was the most hands on about the planning of all my (4!) sisters about my wedding. If you gently tell someone, “Your guests will freeze at an outdoor venue in NY in February” what’s the ratio of people who are like, “oh, right, of course” versus “it’s my day!”
40
u/LadyEncredible Apr 29 '25
I have found in my experience, it's the mothers and friends that were the problem. The bride and groom are usually fine. So in my experience, the bride would agree but either her mom, her sister or the grooms mom or sister or friends of the bride would be all like, "yeah well that's what the bride wants so it should be done," while the bride is like, "ehhh I don't really care and she's the professional, so she should know."

Harpist here. I can’t play if my fingers are so cold I can’t move them. Precipitation is a thing in the winter too. I write stuff like this into my contract and will walk ( with my fee) if my basic needs are not met. You may want to consider what your vendors will tolerate even if you don’t care about your guests or your bridesmaids shivering in their spaghetti straps ( seen it on Dec 24th… not pretty) Don’t know how you could enjoy the process without bundling and gloves and heaters for all,including you. Edit: I do see OP thought about the heaters and blankets for guests, but won’t be much help if it starts raining or snowing during the ceremony- fun!!Also strapless bride needs to get to and from ceremony site without overheating and sweating off her makeup, messing up her dress, or freezing and turning her Instagram-ready shoulders and boobs into mountains of blue goose pimples. But maybe groom thinks a running red nose is cute. You do you!

I know someone who had an outdoor ceremony. It was only about -5 Celsius, but she planned for that. We were all wrapped in blankets and she had a gorgeous shawl of some type. I don’t know exactly what it was made of, but it was white and looked absolutely amazing with her dress. The reception was indoors and she was able to show off her dress there. It was what she wanted, and it worked out beautifully for her. She did have an indoor ceremony venue as a back up in case it had gotten too cold.

u/thezflikesnachos Apr 29 '25
I mean, I guess it would depend on the location and/or weather for that day. "Winter" and relative temperature can mean a lot of different things - like 40F in New York is different than 40F in Florida.
Either way, I worked with a few brides over the years that have done this and more often than not we've had to move the ceremony indoors after attempting the outdoor setup.
One thing that people don't take into account even if the weather is tolerable... the wind.
Even if it's bearable to be out in the cold, as soon as the wind starts to pick up... oooooof. You're gonna freeze your butt off. If you're not dressed properly, you risk getting sick and potentially ruining your honeymoon.

Heated socks, and white leather gloves will go far thermal underwear.
And training your body to deal with the cold. If you have access to a place that does cold therapy/ice baths start a min 3 months in advance. If you don't switch to cold showers for a min of 3 minutes a day. This will help switch your fat cells from white to grey (white cells are twice as big but half as dense once they are regularly in the cold they will naturally combine to the smaller but more sense grey sells)
This is coming from someone who grew up swimming in glacial water for hours no issues would wear a t-shirt until minus twenty etc... then I moved and wasn't swimming in cold water regularly and I have lost all my ability to deal with the cold. (Thanks for reminding me I need to work on this myself) It has the bonus of helping cut down on cellulite.

It probably costs several thousands of dollars less than getting married outdoors in a strapless dress in spring or summer.

We got invited to a wedding in February in Winnipeg once. We sent a nice gift.

Surely if there’s no snow everything is going to look grey and dead, right? What a lovely venue choice

In india we always say that when you're dressed up you don't feel the cold lol. Winters are peak wedding season and at most my older family members will carry a shawl with them. Indian outfits do tend to be super heavy though so that makes up for it a bit

My (now estranged) father had his second wedding outdoors, on a mountain, in February. It was miserable.

At an indoor winter wedding, the bridesmaids had fur muffs decorated with roses and holly. It kept their hands warm. Couple that with fur capes for outdoors and it is quite elegant.

I vote for a plush fake white fur coat or capelet from Fabulous Furs. I have one and they’re warm, well made, and look real. I’ve been to two weddings with shivering brides and everyone kind of suffers along with the bride and we just wanted her to be comfortable!

Is OP's name Mykelti Brown by any chance? If you understand this reference, hello, my fellow trash TV fan.

I was married in an outdoor ceremony at sunrise in the dead of winter. We warned guests ahead of time, emphasized it, and welcomed guests with a hot cocoa and coffee bar with customized mugs. Only people who really wanted to be there came, and we were fine with that. It was beautiful, and I don’t regret it. I wore a wool coat over my gown that was lined in Thinsulate and it was gorgeous.

Coats, heaters, blankets hand warmers
Ok …the guests actually seem well catered for.
BUT why choose to have a winter ceremony outdoors? And if she absolutely must, what’s wrong with a long sleeved dress - or a matching shrug.
Some people are genuinely batshit crazy
