They will not let you use(april-november) the indoor rooms unless it rains that day.
I am afraid of walking around the grounds in my dress(we are doing pre-cremony pictures) if it rains the day before and getting it dirty.
Is there anywhere else to take pictures indoors that is gorgeous?

Re: Besides Old Westbury Gardens
what about just taking some indoor pics at chateau briand. you guys can go into the room before anyone else does and take some pictures of you two in there. You can also take pics around its nice inside chateau briand. Of you can take pics in your hotel...i know that sounds weird but some hotel pics actually come out really nice!

We'll probably go to the Vanderbilt Estates b/c you can take inside and out, but that may be out of the way for you. Maybe the mansion at Coe Hall/ Planting Fields arboretum? That would just be a straight drive north.

we might take a look at the vanderbilt. its only 20mins further than westbury gardens. i dont think fh cares how long of a drive it is. just as long as we get some great shots.

I was told at Vanderbilt that you can only take pictures by the Main building (with indoor area) if they do not have a wedding going on that day. You can only confirm that 6 weeks before the wedding. I hope they changed it back because i wont go there to take pictures by columns or rose garden.

Thanks for that information. I had no idea! Why does everything have to be so difficult?!
