The summer I got married there was so much rain! There were massive floods in the streets and I was panicking that my pretty mountain wedding would turn into a sopping mess. I lucked out that the sun shone on my wedding day but some brides are not so lucky. So what do you do when Mother Nature decides to get wacky with the weather on your wedding day?
Rain, Rain, Go Away …
They say it's good luck if it rains on your wedding day but I say it makes most brides gloomy. Did you catch The Bachelor Wedding: Jason and Molly? Well it poured on those two but it didnt stop them from having fun!
I could see in the TV coverage that the wedding planner was very frustrated that they would not let her move the wedding ceremony inside as she kept referring to a back up. I always have a rain backup and it can quite simply be your reception venue. That way you're not paying for a space that you hopefully will not have to use. But potentially your venue can move your tables to one side of the room, pull the firewall so no one sees your reception decor and then they can set up chairs for your ceremony.
Or if you're like Jason and Molly you do not let it rain on your parade and you get married outside anyways with the help of clear umbrellas which you can get here. The clear umbrellas do not just look cool but everyone can still see the bride and groom.
Backup Hair and Makeup Plans
If it's even just a bit misty and humid on your wedding day you need to make sure you're willing to pay your hair and makeup person for overtime. Have her there so that post pictures you do not go into your reception looking like a drowned rat!
And if you decide that yes, nothing is stopping you from getting your pictures outside I'll make sure you had a pair of fun galoshes and some big fun umbrellas to enhance your pictures. If it's raining, work it girl!
Second Dress- Stylish or Necessity?
If you've been out in the rain all day in your wedding dress it does not matter how good your umbrella is, chances are you'll be a bit soggy by the time you hit up the reception. Have a back up dress for the reception. The majority of the pictures are taken and there are some fabulously fun short wedding dresses that are uber cute for the bride who wants to dance the night away. Some of my favorite are featured at Dolly Couture.
Bridal Advice
Even if it does rain on your wedding day you need to keep a positive attitude. If your entire wedding was supposed to be outside then make sure that if the weather is if you've got an indoor back up or a tent on hold. The money is worth the peace of mind. It's also a good idea to have a little room in your budget to send someone out for umbrellas and galoshes last minute if you need them … you do not want to be cooked unstylish in the rain!
