  Hey Brianna!
  Congrats on your engagement!! Now the fun begins
  Here's a great resource for your "averages" for weather in OBX: http://www.visitob.com/outer_banks/trip/weather.htm
  
  It says that in November the range of temps is between high of 63 and low of 48. So, a little chilly. And if you are planning a sunrise ceremony, you will be a little cooler with the breeze off the ocean at that time.
  
  I think you could still definitely do the ceremony on the beach and then move inside the house maybe for the celebration? That way your guests can just grab a jacket or wrap for the ceremony but still enjoy the beach and warm up inside.
  
  Hope that helps a little.

  Thanks Sarah!! We had indeed planned on going inside after the ceremony... I am just hoping the weather holds out that long

  I LOVE the beach in November!! It's crisp and cool and it's usually not all crazy rainy and stormy (and you avoid hurricane season). I wouldn't worry too much. I think you and your guests would rather be a little chilly than sweating bullets in dressy clothes.

  I live in NC and the weather in November in the morning will definitely be chilly, but do-able. As far as rain, you just never know. It definitely won't be snowing though!
  I saw this idea and thought it was cute for an outdoor wedding if it's chilly: as a favor for the ladies, have a basket full of different color pashminas (you can find these for cheap!) rolled up w/a ribbon around them and put a little sign that says "A Pashmina to Have & to Hold" or something. I wish I could use this idea, but my wedding is in June.
  I think a sunrise wedding in November would be PERFECT though! What a great idea!

  We did pashminas for my wedding weeks ago and we needed them.  Everyone loved them.  I've got a site for affordable ones if anyone needs it.

  If you order 20+ you get a better deal.  I ordered them in assorted shades of blues and aquas, rolled them up and stuffed them into the OOT bags.  Here you go, along with a couple pics of the ladies enjoying them:

  Real quick.. what was the quality like? I mean it's awesome that they are so cost effective, but since I am giving them out as part of a gift, I dont want them to be too thin or anything...

  I thought they were just fine.  They're not thick, but they weren't flimsy.  I decided I wanted to keep one for myself.
