I have 2 outdoor weddings coming up in March, and I am having a hard time deciding what I should wear.
The first is on March 14th at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, SC. 
Look familiar? It's in The Notebook! I am not 100% sure this wedding is outside, but if I had to guess, that would be my best, most educated guess. I'm not sure they even have indoor weddings- if anybody knows the answer to this, send it my way.

The time will have changed by then, so it will at least be daylight until about 8:00. However, the weather in March is so iffy. It could rain, it could be windy, it could be cold, or it could be beautiful. So, that's my first wedding wardrobe dilemma.
The second wedding I must attend in March is my cousin's in Greenville, SC. It will be held at Larkin's on the River at 6 p.m.
As you can see from the above pictures, it's a beautiful old warehouse, but it has no windows. So, again, March in SC is a toss-up. You never know what weather you're going to get. If the weather is cold, my cousin will be renting the large heaters, but they are only good if you're standing right by them.
I have thought about a dress with a pashmina, but what would you suggest? I know there will be some great ideas from all of you fashionistas out there, so fire away!!
I went to a wedding at Boone Hall in May 2 years ago and it was outside. They got married on the front steps and then had the reception in the barn on the marsh. The barn was completely open to air. It's SO cold here in March that I can't even imagine what it would be like to go to an outdoor wedding :). If it were me, I would probably wear a dress with a pashmina or a cashmere wrap sweater over top. Can't wait to see what you pick out!
ReplyDeletei would pick a cute dress with sleeves and also wrap up with a pashmina.
ReplyDeletei have been to a deb party at Boone Hall and I think their only venue there is the cotton dock (I think what AEO is referring to). It will be pretty chilly in that structure. middle of march is so difficult, still seems like winter but i am mentally ready for full out summer time clothes. I would go with a more formal looking sundress of a not so summerly shade, since it is still spring and chilly with a cardigan or pashmina (did you go to the cup last year, brrr!). or perhaps a silk shift with sleeves. lilly had the cutest ones last year that would have been perfect. have you been to laroque lately. except her stuff is all sleeveless. i bet all the boutiques on devine are having some good sales right now!
ReplyDeleteOh I think a dress with a pashmina or a cardigan would be perfect. Once the dancing starts you will be warm up quickly!
ReplyDeletei'd go with a pashmina or a cashmere cardigan with a pretty dupioni dress. both weddings sound awesome. we wanted to have our rehearsal dinner at larkin's but it was already booked that night for some symphony event :(
ReplyDeleteGirl I would not even know where to start...ummm I guess I agree with all of the above:) I must say your friends and fam do get married in style!!! I did leave you a lil' something on my blog. Check it out when you can!
ReplyDeleteThose venues are gorgeous! I'd go with what everyone else is saying and do a cute dress with a cardigan.
ReplyDeleteBoone Hall is so pretty! I'd definitely do the dress with a pashmina...
ReplyDeleteyou can never go wrong with a cute dress and a pashmina!
ReplyDeleteCute dress and pashmina definately. You also have to keep in mind that you'll be dancing pretty much all night, so you'll get warm.
ReplyDeleteboth of those places are stunning!! i would go with a dress and a wrap or cardigan that you can shed.
ReplyDeleteEmily,
ReplyDeleteI have a beatiful pashmina you could borrow if you want (it is hot pink on one side and a lighter pink on the other). I also have a gorgeous rhinestone pendant you could use to close the wrap around you so you are not holding it closed all night. You could do that with a balck and dress and black shoes (or if you are feeling frisky, even pink shoes!) Let me know if you want to borrow or just look at them and if Holly is coming to town any time soon or her parents there to see her and I can send them to you!
Please excuse all the grammatical errors in the previous post! It is 4:50 on Friday, what can I say?!?
