Here in the UK it rains, often when it is not expected. So what can you do to stop the rain from spoiling your wedding plans?
Reception Venue – does it have enough covered space for all the guests you intend to invite? Some venues work well for a summer wedding when the guests can remain outside for the afternoon but can they all be accomodated comfortably inside if it is raining? Upwaltham Barns has flexible space to host a wedding all year round.
Shoes or Wellies – as the bride (or guest) – do think about footwear and the ground you will walking on, country roads are muddy after rain and a spare pair of shoes or wellies are useful to have ready for walking to and from the church and reception venue. There are some stylish wellies available these days!
White umbrellas – if you think it might rain in the month you plan to get married make sure you have at least a couple of white umbreallas ready. An umbrella with a bank or company logo on the side does not look quite so pretty. You can purchase them online for about £15 each.
Wedding photos – we can take the formal photos in a side room or close by using photographic lights. This formal photograph was lit against a plain white wall.
So, don’t despair. There are ways to keep you dry and to enjoy your wedding day even if the weather seems to be against you. You never know, it might just brighten up enough to get outside for a while. We dodged the showers to take portraits on Woolacombe Beach on the rainiest day last September.
