Change of Date

IMO it depends where in Ontario you are...

Hopefully you get tp enjoy a beautiful in October. Sometimes its umpredictable to know the forecast change.

You could get lucky with an absolute gorgeous day...October is tricky like that! What is your reasoning for changing the date? I think Sept. is a safer bet but if you are wanting it in October I would just incorporate heaters and cute flannel blankets or something and I'm sure it will work out beautifully!

If you're having the ceremony before 4pm, it should be fine because the sun will still provide some heat and people can layer up.

Just make sure you tell your guests that it is an outdoor ceremony during nippy weather. I went to an October wedding last year where the ceremony was at 4:30pm and they had to cut it short because the middle-aged folks and elderly were getting too cold. (To be fair, they were also stupid for not wearing the proper clothes knowing it's an outdoor ceremony during that time of year but there's also no winning in fighting your grandparents on a day that's mean to be celebratory).

I'm going to write down the temperature for this year and see what they plan for next year and pray to mother nature to give me the same temp or better. But living here I have no choice to go with the flow and make the best of it. Also this year the forecast has been wrong. Not sure where the radio and news get their info but they were off all summer.

I also went on Pinterest for rain picture inspo and snow fall inspo and make the best of it.

I know that's what makes me nervous about this time of year.

We do have an indoor back-up plan at the venue so that is good

That's a great idea! That's so exciting that your wedding is right around the corner!

It's a hit and miss, we do live in Ontario, one day flip flop the next winter jacket. Make sure your venue has a back up plan in case it rains if you do it outside. Our venue is outside but they offer heaters and if it rains we can use the indoors.

View quoted message Ya not bad at all! That’s what it says our weather is going to be for my wedding in a couple weeks! We are getting married outside and reception is inside so I don’t think it will be too bad! I just told people on my wedding website that ceremony is outside and weather permitting (may need a jacket)

That's a great idea! Thank you!

This is what it says it may be for 2023

Google the history weather of what it’s usually been there at that date!


Like my wedding is in Cochrane alberta and if I google Cochrane weather September 30 and whatever year I can see what the history of the weather it’s been on that day
