• Outdoor Weddings and Preparing for the Elements •
As temperatures rise in spring and summer, weddings are increasingly held outdoors. Outdoor weddings can be absolutely magical, but the weather forecast is never a certain thing. It’s essential that you have a backup plan so you are prepared for wet conditions.
First and foremost, make sure you have a designated undercover area. Tents and marquees are your best friend. They will keep your guests dry from the rain, and provide some respite from the sunshine on particularly hot days.
Encourage your guests to wear appropriate clothes and footwear, like boots or waterproof shoes. You may also want to have a supply of umbrellas or ponchos on hand for everyone.
And when all else fails - embrace it! Don’t let sudden showers *dampen* your spirits. You’ll still get to marry the love of your life. Make the most of your rainy wedding day!
