It was such a charming venue, but definitely cold, plus there were some treks along muddy pathways. </p> <p>I wore wide leg charcoal grey velvet pants and (a favorite current piece of mine) an Anthropologie silver camisole. I topped this with a cropped, lightweight, short sleeved sparkly taupe cardigan, which honestly made the outfit feel more mother-of-the-bride-y than I would have liked, but it was necessary for extra warmth. I took it off for dancing. </p> <p>For the outdoors parts of the evening, I wore my cream colored asymmetrical drape-y wool coat from Garnet Hill, and my workhorse blush scarf with a pompom fringe. I have dressier coats that might have worked better with my dressy outfit, but this one felt perfect for the rustic setting, plus it was warm, and I was happy. </p> <p>Normally I’d wear velvet flats with these pants but because of the outdoorsy venue, the mud, and the possibility of rain, I decided to forego those and instead I pulled out a pair of basic black booties that I’ve held onto for decades because they are, just occasionally, very useful. This was just one of those occasions.</p> <p> If you’re going to be outdoors and don’t have footwear like that on hand, you could look for a pair of used shoes or boots that you don’t have to worry about wrecking. This suggestion comes by way of my goddaughter/Knitting Gene’s daughter, and I thought it was brilliant. She suggested Buffalo Exchange and there’s also always Goodwill. I definitely would have done that if I hadn’t had my trusty old booties. </p> <p>I look forward to seeing what you pull together. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outdoor-wedding-in-the-cold#post-1963591 Wed, 10 Oct 2018 08:56:17 +0000 Jessikams 1963591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nightmare wardrobe challenge! You might consider those little adhesive heating pads to put inside your shoes. I always get cold feet while sitting still during the talking/ceremony. You can get them at outdoor, farming or hunting supply stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outdoor-wedding-in-the-cold#post-1963444 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 22:14:53 +0000 Cardiff girl 1963444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thermals?and as suggested a statement topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outdoor-wedding-in-the-cold#post-1963417 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 21:16:31 +0000 Mainelady 1963417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that since the attire is casual, you are in luck. I suggest slacks, a dressy blouse, sweater, or topper. Socks with your shoes, or a pair of sassy boots. If wearing a dress, wear tall boots and add a great jacket, or large shawl, to drape around you. With lots of people, there will be body heat in the tent, too. I think your feet might need the most attention, due to the cold coming up from the ground. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outdoor-wedding-in-the-cold#post-1963367 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 19:40:27 +0000 Suz 1963367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief, what a challenge!

I have always been dreamy of how I would look in a coat and pants to match the weather.</p> <p>Since you are attending a&nbsp; wedding, I suggest you to wear white pants, not the jeans type, but something more fashionable. Then, pair them with a white coat too. I guess a coat might not be a gamechanger, but it's the most comfortable wear in winter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outdoor-wedding-in-the-cold#post-1963204 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 14:34:08 +0000 Janet 1963204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to a wedding very much like this a year or so ago, and wore a midi length long sleeved sheath dress plus a full slip, hosiery, and knee-height boots. I wore a cropped leather jacket over it and was warm enough for the most part, but a scarf/wrap would have come in handy. Good excuse to warm up with some dancing though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outdoor-wedding-in-the-cold#post-1963190 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 14:11:19 +0000 Angie 1963190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear a fabulous statement coat, and don't take it off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outdoor-wedding-in-the-cold#post-1963189 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 14:10:33 +0000 Anonymous 1963189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would be tempted to dress like the men with dressy dark jeans and a wool blazer, adding a dressy scarf. Maybe velvet or metallic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outdoor-wedding-in-the-cold#post-1963182 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 14:04:11 +0000 KnittingGene 1963182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just officiated a wedding of dear friends this weekend. It was held at the camp where they met as counselors; the ceremony itself and the dancing were held in a large building with just two walls and semi open roof. High temps were low 50’s. So I feel you but I did fine. </p> <p>I wore heavier black dress pants, a silk knit top and a gorgeous EF pine green velvet jacket. It’s available now. Expensive but I found a sale. The jacket is lined with silk so it really was warm. I took it off during dancing. I also, like many of the women there, wore water proof heavy soles boots. </p> <p>You’ll find your outfit but I wanted to pass along encouragement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outdoor-wedding-in-the-cold#post-1963180 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 13:57:44 +0000 Bijou 1963180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear a pants suit with a sparkly top, or a dress with sleeves (or plus a jacket) and hose to keep warm. It may be a good excuse to spend lots of time on the dance floor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outdoor-wedding-in-the-cold#post-1963178 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 13:56:27 +0000 lyn67 1963178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, a real challenge! A&nbsp; coat (neutral or color) boots and a hat? Plus a pashmina over your shoulders&nbsp; around the neck, or just flowing from your elbows for a more festive and feminine touch? Will you have to take out coats or enough to concentrate on the outerlayers?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outdoor-wedding-in-the-cold#post-1963174 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 13:47:36 +0000 Kristin Fields 1963174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello!<br />This weekend, I am attending a wedding.&nbsp; This wedding, as I am finding out, is casual - most of the men are wearing dress jeans and sport coats.&nbsp; The challenge I'm having is that this wedding is taking place outdoors in a tent - and the temperature is going to be in the low 40s.&nbsp; I am told there will be heaters in the tent, but I'm not expecting those to provide much relief.&nbsp; What on Earth do I wear?&nbsp; I'll take any recommendations!&nbsp; Thanks! </p>
