Wedding Weather

There is one thing about a wedding I have no control over… the weather. I remember two yers ago when my friend Suzanne’s daughter Grace was getting married. For the days before the outdoor wedding a rare New England Hurricane was predicted to hit right on the day of the wedding. Suzanne ordered 200 giant clear plastic umbrellas. Thankfully at the last minute the hurricane changed course and the day was sunny and perfect. The umbrellas were returned unopened!

I am looking at my wardrobe and trying to plan for all the weather options. The one thing I have not been able to find is a wrap that I like to go with my light blue dress. I have a light blue pashmina which is not exactly the right color. I have a dark green one, which is not quite right.

I don’t have a navy, white or light green pashmina and can’t seem to find one that is right. It seems that it is not the right time of year to sell these in stores and looking online is so difficult to see if something is the right color.

I pray it is not cold because my shoes for the wedding are sandals and I fear cold feet. But I do not have a back up shoe. Since we are flying to the wedding I don’t want to bring ten pairs of shoes.

I have outfits in mind, but need to tweak them as I get a better idea of what the actual weather might be closer to departure day. I really don’t want to bring a winter jacket, but it is Maine in June and might need one.

So many decisions to make and back up plans. I thankfully will not have to order 200 umbrellas no matter what.
