1. First of all, consider the possibility of rain:
When having an outdoor ceremony, always keep in mind that it might rain and plan around. This is the first step to ensuring that you have plans arranged in case it does rain. You can also consider embracing the rain and incorporating it safely into your ceremony. It would be a beautiful vision saying your vows against the backdrop of raindrops.
2. Plan for a shelter against the rain:
Have a plan for shelter. Tents are great for outdoor weddings. They come in all shapes and sizes. You can get clear tents so you still feel like you’re outside. Or go for a cosy marquee. Make sure the tent is waterproof and sturdy. This way, everyone stays dry and happy
3. Have an indoor backup plan:
If the rain is too heavy, move the ceremony inside. It’s always good to have a beautiful indoor space ready just in case. Decorate it as you would the outdoor space, so it still feels special.
4. Stock up on umbrellas and gumboots:
Have a bunch of cute, matching umbrellas for your guests. They can use them during the ceremony or while moving between locations. Gumboots are also a fun idea to add to your outdoor wedding. They keep your feet dry and can look adorable in photos. You can even get matching ones for the bridal party.
5. Dance in the rain with your partner:
Why not dance in the rain? If you’re up for it, have your first dance outside, even if it’s raining. It can be a magical and unforgettable moment. Just make sure you have a dry place to change into after.
