They say it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day, but unless you & your groom are rain obsessed, most brides hope and pray that it won’t rain on their big day. BUT. It does happen. And I want to assure you that if it does, it won’t ruin ANYTHING about your big day!!! In fact, it has the potential to be extra magical.
Here’s 3 tips I recommend to keep in mind if the rain does make an appearance on your wedding day:
1. Don’t panic! Unlike the wicked witch of the West in Wizard of Oz, the rain won’t make us melt so we’re in the clear 🙂 ha! I encourage you not to panic because at the end of the day, you’re getting married to the love of your life rain or shine and that’s what’s most important!! That’s what you’re been planning & preparing for and why all your favorite people have gathered together. No precipitation can steal that away!
2. We highly recommend that you coordinate with your venue and from the beginning and plan to have a rain plan. This is especially important if you’re planning an outdoor wedding!
If you’re recently engaged or still on the hunt for your wedding venue, I’d recommend factoring the rain plan into your decision to move forward with that specific venue. If it were to rain, would you still be happy with the location based on the rain plan? Most of the time, the answer is yes and it’s 100% worth the risk but it is worth taking into account. Thankfully, most venues have already done the hard work for you and have an established rain plan to ensure everything run smoothly on your big day!
3. Let us worry about the photos! This is our specialty and what we love to do!! Let us do our job so you can do yours: get married and have a blast! A few things that we keep in mind for rainy day portraits:
I hope this can put your worries to rest and help you go into your wedding day confidently, rain or shine. We can’t wait to celebrate you as you step into marriage with your best friend!
