I’m in a cold climate and scratching my head a bit, as people only have outdoor weddings in true summer here, not in the spring or fall when layers and heaters would be required (winter would be out of the question). So I’d expect a variety of dress and some latitude from the hosts in their expectations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-new-years-wedding#post-1977317 Mon, 26 Nov 2018 21:50:13 +0000 Angie 1977317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Rachy</b>, makes a good point.

I need help finding a dress that will work for outdoors (greater Los Angeles area).&nbsp; The ceremony (3:00pm) and reception will both be outside.&nbsp; The sun will be setting and its gonna be&nbsp; "cold" (I realize this is subjective depending on where you live, hahaha).&nbsp; I was thinking something long sleeve and velvet to keep me warm.&nbsp; But I am open to any suggestions.&nbsp; I look best in sheath style - but will go for a long dress for the occasion and weather.&nbsp; The wedding itself will not be formal, more smart casual I think.&nbsp; The reception is in my brother's back yard.&nbsp; I think they will have heaters but may or may not tent the back yard.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Any suggestions, referrals to websites or brands or anything is greatly appreciated at this point.&nbsp; I looked at Nordstrom a bit but was wondering if there are any other places/brands that would be great to check out.&nbsp; I haven't attended many weddings in the past 10 or more years.&nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks in advance ladies.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
