Outerwear for the wedding??? I don't want to Freeze!

I am wearing a full A line strapless light ivory gown for my wedding, but the more I think about it, the more I think I will freeze to death if I don't have something to wear like a heavy shawl or something. My dress came with a shawl, but its satin and not warm. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to wear? I am taking pics at OWG so I will be outdoors for a bit.

There were some cute, faux fur shawls at Burlington Coat Factory. Otherwise, you can rent one from Phyllis at Gownfind/Bridal Elegance.

My wedding was just this past Saturday - and this was a big stress for me because it was so chilly. When I watched the forecast all last week I kept wondering if I should run out and get something. I am normally someone who is ALWAYS cold. Well, I had a strapless gown - and no wrap or shawl or anything - and I was fine. We even took a lot of pictures outside by the water and I still wasn't cold - maybe it was all the adrenaline pumping inside of me and all the excitement that made me not feel it! Our families were a little chilly for some pictures, but my DH (feels weird to say that!! ) and I had no problems! I am sure everyone is different, but I was happy I didn't run out and waste my money on something I didn't even need.

I purchased a faux fur wrap from e-bay for my cousin's wedding this past Friday. Since I had adrenaline rush for most of the day, I wore it only ouside and it was a lifesaver for me. My niece and another BM tooke turns wearing it while indoors because they said they were cold. Worth the $10 I paid for it.
