Some final tips and advice for your winter wedding to wrap up this 4 part series.
While Southern California may not be subjected to blizzard like conditions or freezing temperatures, keep in mind that it may get cool for your guests. With many locations offering outdoor facilities for your wedding ceremony, here are a few suggestions for keeping warm and safe at your wedding:
- Provide your guests with warm beverages prior to the ceremony such as hot tea, coffee or hot chocolate. It helps them stay warm.
- If your facility offers portable heaters, make sure you know the cost to rent them and if they can be made available for your event should you require them.
- If your wedding and reception are outdoors and you discover it’s suppose to rain (or snow) on your wedding day, make sure you check to see if your facility rents or offers tents. If not, have ready the number of a few event tent suppliers in case you have to make that call early in the day.
- If it has rained the night before or in the morning prior to your wedding and you’ll be walking on grass or a slippery surface, make sure you check it out and walk it a few times to insure you won’t slip and fall.
- For your veil, carry small weights to attach to the end of them in the event of winds, especially the Santa Ana winds. Small weights can be fishing weights. Be sure to daub a little white paint or white nail polish on them so that they blend in with the veil.
In the end, make sure you have an emergency plan for sever winter weather. If you plan right, you will be sure to have a memorable winter wedding.
