With the temperatures this week in Connecticut ranging from
40-80 degrees, it’s time for us to revisit our best “how to plan for the
weather” tips!
The rule in New England is always to prepare for any
possibility when it comes to weather, particularly this time of year. Cool,
crisp mornings give way to sunny, warm afternoons, but then the temperature can
drop quickly again as the sun goes down. How does a couple plan for all of
that?

| Fall weddings are gorgeous, but the weather can be unpredictable! |
The first step is to make sure you have a weather backup if
any part of your wedding day is outside. After that, you should offer options
to your guests (and have them for yourself!) so you stay comfortable no matter
the temperature!
One great option for your guests if your ceremony is going
to be outdoors is blankets or shawls to wrap around themselves if the
temperature gets too chilly. They can be left prominently in a basket at the
entrance, or it can be something your ushers offer to people as they are
brought to their seats.
If it’s late fall or early winter, a really warm option is
to hand out instant hand warmers. Be careful of handing them to small children,
as many of the hand warmers can get really hot! But they do a great job of
keeping fingers and toes warm in the colder months.
But what if the opposite happens? What if your crisp fall
day turns into a second summer and afternoon temperatures start rising? Your
summer cooling tips will help there, too! Perhaps your ceremony programs can
double as fans, or you can leave cold bottles of water at the entrance.
This time of year, it’s best to be prepared for anything!
