Ceremony temp

Agree about giving guests a heads-up so they can be prepared. Daughter's dream was to have her January wedding in So Cal, outside. The historical temperature range was 62-75 degrees. As long as it was within that range and NOT raining, our plan was to stay outside, but there was an excellent bad weather alternative. We let guests know the plan via the website and email for family guests who were traveling. We totally lucked out! After five days of record-breaking pouring rain, it stopped 48 hours before the ceremony, and at the time of the wedding it was 78 degrees and sunny (and, honestly, a little sweaty...). But, people were prepared for it to potentially be a bit chilly.

Getting married on the same day in Northern Virginia and I'm currently fighting my mom about this. IMO, people can just wear a warm coat and suck it up for the 20 minutes that the ceremony will take. I've always wanted an outdoor ceremony and I don't think that people having to sit outside in 50 degree weather (which honestly isn't even that cold) should ruin that for me.

What time is the ceremony? if its during the day i think it should be fine. I would definitely try and reach out and let guests know its an outside ceremony/cocktail hour (if that is the case). If it is at sunset or after that - it is too cold for outdoor ceremony. Hope this helps! best of luck

I think that's fine, as long as guests know in advance. I'd put it on your website & maybe a details card, just so guests know to bring a jacket.
