Is 80-88 degrees too hot for an outdoor wedding and reception in baytown, TX (houston)? ?

May actually is a good time... no huricane season at that time... so it's a good time! Only thing is... try to get a wedding dress that isn't hot! yes it's ganna be kinda muggy, and like you said heels could dig in grass.. but I think it's so beautiful, the pictures are ganna beautiful.. one thing I did read in bridal magazine is, put your body spray in the frigde the night before... and spray some on before your big entrance to keep you a bit cool for the ceremony!

Congrats on your wedding and Good Luck choosing venues!

Some people are very susceptible to heat. Plus think of the humidity index. I know someone who had her wedding at 5:30 on a warm day in Tx in May. I declined the invitation and sent her good wishes from the comfort of my air conditioning. An indoor-outdoor setting would be better for your guests. Even though you're the bride, remember to try and make your guests comfortable, as well. Good luck and congratulations!

in Houston anything in the 80's is a blessing. Just make sure your guests know it's an outdoor wedding so they can wear sundress type clothes instead of something more formal.

i would rent a small tent for shade though. older guests are going to need a break from the heat at some point.

I attended a wedding in Galveston in May. It was beautiful but very hot and humid! Everyone was sweating. The bride was sweating you could see her sweating. Even the it is supposed to be the happiest day of her life she looked uncomfortable. Not very many people came to the wedding but when it was time for the reception there was nearly 200.

You have to remember our weather here is very unpredictable especially during the summer months. Congratulations!! I hope it goes well.

Personally, I would be uncomfortable in temperatures like that And then you have to worry about rain. You'll have enough to worry about when you're planning your wedding--why add an unnecessary extra worry?

I say, go for a pretty inside place with air conditioning (Of course, that's just me.)

I think 80-88 is enough to make you sweat, especially wearing dresses and suit outside. I suggest celebrating it during the morning, take it inside, or change schedule.

I had mine in Sept. in Texas around 88 degrees,,,, tooo hot, and we had shade. Get a Portable fan if possible *big industrial strength.
