Rain on your wedding day
5 tips for handling rain on your wedding day
2. Photographs
It is always important to have a plan B (wet weather back up plan) for where you take your official pictures. If all the photographs are all meant to be outside in the lovely grounds, and it rains you will want to take it indoors. Speak to your photographer during your planning, to discuss what other great spaces could be used inside for lovely pictures too.
3. Footwear for a rainy wedding day
Consider as a bride having a pair of back up shoes, that one of your bridal party can keep close by for you. There is nothing worse than getting mud all over your beautiful wedding shoes. If its raining when you leave out wear a different pair of shoes to the ceremony so that you keep your bridal shoes nice and dry. Or change into the spare shoes when you are taking your photos, to keep your gorgeous shoes in pristine condition. Or if you really want to branch out wear some wellies!
4. Shelter
If you have dreams of having any part of your wedding outside, such as a drinks reception in your venue’s beautiful grounds do check with the venue whether there are any sheltered areas available should the rain fall! Or whether one can be created such as a small gazebo. If there isn’t speak to your venue to find out what their backup location is for an indoor option, if needed.
5. Keep calm
Whatever weather you are faced with take it in your stride and keep calm and don’t panic! Try not to let the weather dampen (see what I did there 😍) your day, just enjoy every moment of your special day, rain and all, its all part of the memories.
I hope this provides useful tips on planning for a wet wedding! If you do get rain on your wedding day, it really isn’t the end of the world and won’t be so bad if you have some of these wedding planning tips in place.
