How to make my spring wedding dress work for fall?

I live in NJ our temperatures change throughout the day.


So a typical October in Ohio gets about how chilly? Your wedding is mostly inside correct?

They have lace over-shirt things. You might also be in luck and have warmer weather like last year. You could wear opaque tights if your shoes are closed toed. I have also seen wearing a custom jean jacket over the dress or a leather jacket. That was pretty cute. After pictures of course.

View Quoted Comment I hope we're going to have warm weather! But I love the custom jean jacket, that's a really neat idea! Our venue is very rustic, so that might fit in. 😊

I’m wearing a strapless dress in October and I’m getting a bolero to stay warm during the pictures. There’s tons on Google and Etsy.

That's a great idea, thank you! I didn't realize there were so many!

View Quoted Comment No worries! I’m getting my dress and bolero fro Tulip Bridal in Issaquah, WA. They sell everything online. Check them out!

This is where I got the idea ☺️ A little pricey but cute concept.

Oh cute! This screams Vegas to me...maybe my next wedding venue location if I have to move mine again because the coronavirus! But I really love the idea.

I worry about the same in Chicago. I was thinking of having some wrap. But I think under will be warm anyway with all of my skirt. But check out Etsy.

Maybe something here will interest you. Some of them are really cute.

Our wedding was in October in Massachusetts. I wore a strapless dress, and was quite warm enough. I had a longline bra, Spanx, and a crinoline under it, plus the dress itself had several layers. It was surprisingly warm. I'd try it on with all your accessories, and see whether it really needs anything added.

You could choose a heavier lace veil or a show that has a pop of fall color like navy or maroon

Yup, Etsy is where I'm headed. I think things will start shipping back to normal in a few weeks. Chicago is probably about the same weather as Northern Ohio. My dress is very light and there's almost no under-layers! If it's cold, I'm going to freeze, lol. Definitely not planned for an October wedding!

Oh, thank you!! I didn't even think about JJ's House! That's a great suggestion, thank you!!

My dress only has three layers total and is very light, so I'm definitely worried. One of the reasons I loved it was because it was so light. I also tend to be cold all the time (though maybe NOT on my wedding day due to the stress, haha), so I'm just not sure how to plan. I didn't think about how my Spanx might warm me up, though, that's a good thought! I'm also thinking maybe I'll get some lace-y white leggings and have them at the venue if I start to really freeze.

Yes, I'm definitely thinking about going that route. I had already decided on a veil, but it wasn't expensive, so I could replace it. I also didn't think adding a colored shawl! That's a great idea as well, thank you!!
