advice for outdoor wedding

To all the girl that get married outdoors.

I got married last Sunday in Kissena Park and it was so beautiful

Just one thing I totally forgot - the suncreen!

Even though it only took 2-3 hrs (including getting there and posed pictures afterwards) I burned my back and my shoulders really bad.
Nevertheless - what a day.

So, go for sunscreen girls.

Good idea! I will be outside all day for photos at OWG and then outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!

We had a gorgeous day too for our outside wedding last year! I used my moisturizers with spf and I even put sunscreen and chapsticks in the bathrooms for guests! It's a great tip!

I'm a sunscreen FREAK because of this!

I didn't want to wear 'real' sunscreen that day b/c I was terrified I'd smell like sunscreen. I have moisiturizer with SPF in it, so I put that all over my shoulders and arms (and then let it dry!!) before I put my dress on.

Hope your burn is better!! And, most importantly, CONGRATULATIONS, MRS.!!!

Oh YES!! What is a sunburn compared to getting married to the man I love?

Yep! I wore sunscreen because I remember an '05 bride posting about getting burned on her wedding day!!! I didn't even get a little red and it was a bright, sunny day at the end of May!

Excellent advice!! I did NOT wear any on my arms or shoulders cause it was cloudy and honestly didn't even think of it...and i got fried taking pics on the beach...luckily my airbrush makeup (JN) had SPF 15 so my face didn't cook.
