Anyone else a tad worried about the hot weather?

cm_ljw, 19 July, 2013 at 20:13 Posted on Planning 0 7

I get married in a week, I have a heavy corseted dress and currently have visions of me feeling horrific and sweating (which isn't a good look on anyone let alone a bride) and guests feeling hot and miserable! Even H2B is worried about wearing his 3 piece suit!

    I'm slightly worried as we get married June next year and don't want it to be THIS hot. lol, i'm sure all will be fine though.
    At least you know it's warm atm and have time to prepare for it, take hand held fans & stuff lol..will be your perfect day no matter what the weather\!

    I was a big sweaty mess. On the plus side, I only needed one wee in 13 hours.....

    Terrified. I often faint when hot and anxious (fortumately in tbis heatwave i have been chilled and sat next to a fan).

    and my dress incoporates velvet. squeak. If it is set for silly hot i shall have to surrender the dress. Because I intend to marry without a scene!

    Be as prepared as you can. Take hand-held fans if you can, do as much outdoor stuff in the shade as is possible, and see if your venue has AC/fans in the reception rooms. Then just sit still, look glamorous sipping cold bubbly/iced water (I suggest you alternate!) and let the guests come to you!

    Thanks for all your advice! I'm contacting the venue on Monday to see what they can do and will be taking a trip back to Wilkinsons to buy more handheld fans for guests to make use of.? it's too late for my dress, I'm just going to stash wet wipes in my bridesmaids bags lol

    Hmm I must admit I've heard stories of fainting guests and had some slightly shiny brides. I would say make sure you have those blotting papers in your MOH's purse and keep drinking water.

    I'm worried about this too. I'm getting married in August of next year and will be wearing a giant ball gown style dress with a petticoat and hoop skirt underneath!! I'm scared to death of it becoming one big sweat-fest!
