Worried Hot August wedding

I live in Central California and the weather where I live is similar to Vegas in the summer. On more than one occasion, I've had friends come visit from the Bay area or Southern California where it is much cooler, and they've gotten sick. Like physically ill, migraines, laying in the dark and cool for hours because they were so sick. And it's not like these people were outside really at all. Many people (think of your grandparents!) do not react well to heat at all.

This post makes me think of the outdoor August wedding I attended in Ca where one of the BMs fainted right during the vows. Everyone here has given sound advice. I hope you take it.

^^^^^ This also happened at a wedding I was at too. Just trying to show that BM's fainting during hot weddings is NOT uncommon.

I keep coming back to this post to hear more about Satan's birthday.

What was the purpose of the post if you are already that committed to it? Like. You've already paid the deposit. Soooo. Just give out water bottles as favors? I don't know the point anymore

I went to a wedding here in CT in the summer, it couldn't have been more that 85 degrees, and everyone was dripping sweating and felt so gross for the entire reception. And that was only 85 degrees. I can't even imagine upwards of 100.

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding in October, and no one could have guessed that it would be almost 100 degrees in LA that weekend. We survived, but very sweatily and I got a little sunburnt since the area where we stood was uncovered. My FH said he and my guy friends in suits were really uncomfortable, though. Luckily, the venue put out umbrellas and water coolers. If you're going to insist on being outside, at least do that much.

ETA The bride's MUA put makeup on her back/chest to match to her face. It bled into the dress because she was sweating.

Ok thank you for the advice and I choose the indoor option. I saw a wedding on their website with it decorated and it was much prettier than just plain white.

I am having a peacock theme so it should be really nice and colorful. You ladies have been helpful but just a bit harsh for me

Thank you all the same for the advice and it has been changed to the inside space.

I will admit I don't like loosing my arbor

I still say the indoor option is the better option.

I went to a wedding in AZ (we live here) in October and it was at 6pm. It was so hot that I had to go into the car to cool off.

If I was to do a wedding in Vegas or AZ (which has been known to be hotter), it would have to be pool side, guests in the pool and a blended beverage for me to comfortably attend.

ETA: Just saw OPs comment. Great choice. the indoor Space is really beautiful

Thank you Finally Mrs Gee

This is is at decorated and another wedding that was held there much prettier decorated.

Good call on the indoor space OP, your guests will thank you!

PS - am I the only one that noticed the "I resemble that remark!" comment re: satan's birthday?? LOL. Close, but not quite.

@LizzyS that's a joke--my mom says that sometimes haha. The person who posted that is jokingly comparing herself to Satan

Good call, OP. Peacock colors are beautiful, btw

LizzyS that's bothered me so, so, so much.

I think Groucho Marx said it too

For the love of god do not make your guests sit outdoors in the extreme heat.
