I've always said when I get married, I want it to be outdoors in the state park. I also want a late Fall Early winter wedding. I live in NY, so who knows if there would be snow or not.
My grandparents are both gone and this is where I think of them the most. They took me to the state park all the time when I was a kid. I really think that they would be there with us if I did it there.
Think I'm crazy?
As long as you brought in some of those outdoors heaters in case it was bitter cold, then no you're not crazy. BUT consider if there are a lot of frail people who would be coming to your wedding? How would they withstand the cold, even with the heaters?
I think it is a great idea. This is the place that you feel close to your grandparents, so why not have your wedding there. Everyone who lives in NY knows how the weather is, so they will dress appropriately.
My nephew was married by Chautauqua Lake in the summer. It was one of those days we had a rainstorm!! Everyone brought their umbrellas and we were fine. It was still lovely.
That is what I was thinking Antk... they all know the weather here in NY. I wouldn't be upset if they chose to not come and instead only came to the reception (the older folks). I only have 1 grandma now, It would be the place I feel the closest to my other grandparents and they were a very big part of my life.
My neice was married in Western NY in February. It was a snow storm! She had the ceremony in a little chapel at a campground. It was very cold at the wedding, but everyone had their jackets and boots. They even served hot chocolate in the chapel. We walked from the chapel to the reception hall which was at the camp also. Then we all took off our warm jackets and boots only to see everyone dressed nicely for a wedding.
Wow, I wouldn't ever get married at a zoo. Really for me the choice isn't about money. It's about where I feel the closest to my grandparents and I would feel like they were part of the celebration.
National parks are cool to get your pictures taken at after the wedding. I know a lot of people who did this. Married in a church, then went to the state park for pictures.
I think it's okay for you to get married wherever you want to get married, at anytime.
To be sure that all guests will be comfortable, just include a reminder about clothing appropriate for the weather in your invitation.
There are always special considerations when you choose to hold events outside but as long as you've planned in advance, whatever happens will just add to the day. At my sister's wedding, we were in summer dresses and sandals - in the snow! It was a wonderful day, photos were amazing, and it all made it more unforgettable.
Outdoor weddings are romantic and beautiful. However, they aren't as easy as they may look. Outdoor weddings come with additional caveats and pitfalls, but you to follow some given procedures to shine on your wedding day.
Make your guests comfortable,Have a backup plan,Make things tasty outside,Don't leave your guests parched,get the Permission from relevent authorities.
What will you do if it rains? The ideal outdoor wedding location has an indoor location waiting just in case. Many brides and grooms opt to have their ceremony outside and reception inside. In a pinch, the tables can be scooted to the back of the room during the ceremony. A tent is another option, but only for light to moderate rain storms. A heavy rain will soak the ground underneath, leaving guests with soggy and muddy shoes. Make sure any tent you rent is sturdy so it won't flip over, and that it has thick and weighted si
I reside in NC and I can tell you that if last Oct is any indication that you should be fine. We had 60 degree weather during the afternoon all the way through October 20th (it was my school's fall break, so it's fresh in my mind. We even went to the beach around here and it was beautiful weather).
I originally wanted an October outdoor wedding so I can attest that the weather is perfect actually. The evenings are really dicey though, it might either get really really cold or just a little cold. Like anywhere from 40s-50 degree weather in the evenings and by the end of the month you might see a 30 degree night.
Also, it starts getting darker earlier by the 2nd week of Oct so factor that into your plans if you have out of town guests or to let you know when i will cool down. By five it starts to cool off significantly.
If it's an afternoon wedding you shouldn't have anything to worry about through the middle of the month like the 20th or the 22nd because our weather is quite fair like the late 50s and early 60 degrees. So you should be fine in a sleevless shirt but do considered some type of jacket or bolero.
This past October it stayed slightly warm until Nov 2nd (my mom's bday, so I remember that well) so it was 60 degrees going into Nov.
If you are having a late afternoon, early evening wedding it could still be feasible but it'll be better during the first couple of weeks not the last couple.
Better you come to JAIPUR For wedding, Some nice place or 5 star hotel shall be available .Decide fast before you miss this also
According to me , this wont help every one.You can not take all of your friends and relations to the outdoor.Managing a big crowd at an outdoor wedding occasion is really a tough job....
With careful planning your vision can be a reality. To help you decide if you should have your wedding outdoors, there are some important notes to keep in mind.
Whether you hold your wedding in the park, on the beach, or in your backyard, the right location may be able to accommodate your ceremony and reception at the same site.
Well said, proper planning and preparation to be made for out door wedding ceremonies.Other wise things get too complicated and leads to problems.
If you've decided to have an outdoor wedding, congratulations! Outdoor weddings are romantic and beautiful. However, they aren't as easy as they may look. Outdoor weddings come with additional caveats and pitfalls, but if you follow precaution tips, you'll be sure to shine on your wedding day.

Of course there may be some risks in arranging an out door wedding ceremony.But wedding is a function going to be held once, so taking risk for a better function is worth...
Most of the weddings I do are outdoors. We always have a back-up plan. Even with WeatherBug, you can never be 100% sure that you won't have somekind of unexpected weather event. If it's 50/50 that it could be too uncomfortable for your guests, then, you need to protect them in someway. Tents, heaters, extra blankets, handwarmers, etc. Several of my Wedding Couples have opted to take their formal pictures two weeks before the ceremony in a location that is special to them, but maybe not to their guests. The Photographers were flexable; if one day was too extreme for pictures, they could wait for a better day. Everyone was more relaxed and had a lot more fun. Photo's have turned-out incredible and have a lot more intimacy when it's just you and the photographer. That just leaves the family and wedding party photo's on Wedidng Day.
I thnk that outdoor weddings are beautiful. They are much nicer with just close family and friends.
I think it is great to pick a location that means something to you, rather than just heading to some park or zoo for an outdoor wedding.

no youre not..you just regard state park as a place where you got some happy memories with your parents .. is it weddings considered to be the happiest day of our life..?
i like my wedding to be a conventional one ..that is to be held at the church..i want it to feel solemm ..just being religious i guess..
Really for me the choice isn't about money. It's about where I feel the closest to my grandparents and I would feel like they were part of the celebration.
Kris-- My grandfather just died a month ago, and he was very much my stand-in father. I think that's why I dream of having my wedding in the mountains (he lived near Pike's Peak in CO for years); they remind me of him and how much I love him and would want him to celebrate with us. Plus, I know he'd want to be there. I don't think you're crazy at all.
Same plan as mine, outdoor wedding is realy our desire. We both plan to have it in the place where we used to spent our quality time together when the moon is rising up the sky. The place where we let our compassion and love grown firmly and we wanted our knot to be tied in there. It would be absolutely our most romantic and memorable place ever. Isn't it so exciting?
I believe that our loved ones who have already passed are always around us. I think that if you went ahead with your plan, they most certainly would be there, smiling at you and giving you their blessings. I think it is a wonderful idea that you have and a most wonderful way to honor your grandparents. Congratulations!
Well, I'm hoping to get married on my grandparents' anniversary, so I don't think you're crazy.
That said, you will need to make sure people are comfortable. Maybe rent some really warm wool blankets?
The local parks here have picnic shelters and gazebos - maybe you could arrange the ceremony so that it is just outside one of those. Tents can be expensive!
It's really sad that your loved ones will not be there anymore on your most memorable day of your life. It's really nice that despite of their absence at least you can have it on the place where you can really remember them to let them feel that they means a lot to you.
