Yes, it is at Wintergreen. Thanks for the idea about the two outfits. Good call! I'm just worried because both the ceremony and the reception are outside and I'm always cold!

I was in a wedding in Virginia (near Frederick) in early November, and while it wasn't the warmest, it certainly wasn't arctic. We wore satin dresses with velvet cloaks (think Squeaky Fromme!) and used muffs with something like an overgrown corsage on them instead of bouquets. Once inside, we dumped the cloaks and muffs and were fine.
That may have been THE bridesmaid dress I got the most use out of, post-nuptials. Its last incarnation was part of a Little Red Riding Hood costume!

Techically, you're not even supposed to wear velvet as early as October...

If it was me, I'd go for some nice wool trousers and a jacket or a nice sweater...and the pea coat!

I had a velvet shawl at my December wedding, but I cannot imagine an enitre dress of velvet.

the mountains here get really cold at night, regardless of the season, so be prepared. hopefully the couple takes some consideration into their guests and has heaters placed around the reception area.

You do realize only about 10% (I'm probably being generous) of the people on here know what you're talking about? Huh-huh. We're old.
