An outdoor wedding has its advantages, especially if you want to be closer to nature on your special day. Unfortunately, it is also vulnerable to rain and other precipitation that can displease your guests and ruin the event. Even if the risk is minimal, you can anticipate a potential disaster with these suggestions.
1. Choose Your Venue Carefully
If the wedding must occur outdoors, you should select the venue carefully. For starters, look for an outdoor area that has several indoor or covered spots that the guests can move to when the rain starts. Also, see if the venue can easily transfer plans into a nearby indoor location when bad weather strikes. Most importantly, ensure that the chosen venue already has a weather plan and is willing to collaborate.
2. Create and Communicate Your Plan
The weather can be unpredictable and chaotic, but you can reduce the risk with a well-crafted plan. Consider multiple factors when planning for a rainy wedding, from evacuation routes for the guests to damage reduction for gifts and decorations. Look into specialized insurance plans for weddings and various weather incidents to avoid significant financial loss. Most importantly, share your plans with everyone, from guests and venue owners to vendors and luxury transportation Los Angeles. Effective communication guarantees your backup plan’s effectiveness.
3. Embrace the Weather
Even if you take every precaution against potential rain, it can still clash with the theme and vibe you hope to create. You can make the best out of a difficult situation by making the rain the theme or a complement to the theme. Offer fitting gifts such as umbrellas and rain boots. If it is cold outside, warm up guests and prevent sickness with hot drinks (chocolate, tea, etc.) and cozy blankets. Work with your photographer to create a rainy photo session.
Few things can ruin your outdoor wedding more than rain. When you feel precipitation is inevitable, make the proper arrangements to continue to celebrate this meaningful day.
