Wedding in the Rain

An outdoor wedding might be beautiful, but weather is unpredictable. The careful bride and groom, while hoping for the best, prepares for the worst. And the worst is the beautiful sunny wedding day, turning into a very wet wedding day.

Some of the things you can do to anticipate the worst is

a)      Choose an outdoor wedding venue which has some undercover areas – gazebo, barbeque pits etc.

b)      Collect as many umbrellas as you’re likely to need and have someone to put them in the boot of their car for emergencies

c)      Decide early on a backup plan in case of change in the weather – a marquee or the reception centre - and rehearse the wedding party in that situation just in case

d)     Let everyone likely to be affected by any weather change – photographer, transport arrangers – know what the backup plan is beforehand

e)      Consider both situations and select your wedding dress and accessories accordingly

f)       If no backup plan is possible and your wedding will go ahead even if it rains, inform everyone of this so that they can come prepared
