5 Tips for Rainy Season Weddings

Let’s face it, the weather is one of the wedding elements which cannot be controlled or planned ahead of time. After spending thousands on making the venue beautiful and getting the best suppliers to orchestrate the perfect dream wedding, you still cannot ensure that the big day is just clear blue skies from morning until night. 

Don’t worry about getting wet during the big day as “rain on your wedding day” isn’t all about bad luck in the 21st century. With these nifty tips fro Giftware Direct, your rainy season wedding won’t be as bad as you make it out be. Instead, it might just even make your big day even more unique and unforgettable especially for the guests.

Cover all bases.

When the wedding date you have picked lands around the rainy season in Australia, better get yourself covered in all bases. From all the different wedding venues, make sure to have a plan B just in case Mr. Sun doesn’t feel like coming out. Event venues usually give an alternative plan when it comes to unfortunate weather so better check on what is available and what can be done before booking the place for your wedding day.

Learn all that you can about event insurance.

With wedding insurance, it is the best thing you can have to protect you and your wedding investment in case of uncontrollable factors such as rain, floods, and other forces of nature. In case the weather acts out or when the wedding is to be postponed due to unforeseeable events, you can always have the fund intact to be able to book everything again after a couple of months. No need to worry about losing money over downpayments or having non-refundable clauses for the wedding suppliers you have booked!

When the rain goes down, umbrellas go up.

No need to think it over, once the rainy season is announced with your wedding coming in within a week or two, umbrellas are definitely in order. Get your guests covered so they don’t have to worry about getting soaked on their way to the reception or as they make their way back to their cars.

Plan a shoot under the glorious downpour.

Give your photographer and video team a heads up if you are game for some wonderful rainy day photoshoot in your wedding dress. The trend of doing “trash the dress” shoots has been popular over the years and you can take advantage of the gloomy weather to create some awesome portraits of the bride and the groom. Throw in the rest of the bridal party and make a fabulous photo of the fun-filled wedding day drenched in rain even more unforgettable.

Rainy day specials.

Capitalise on the rainy weather and make the wedding day all about the cozy atmosphere. Prepare a rainy day playlist for the wedding reception and make it all about the snuggle-filled gloomy season during the cocktails proper. Even for the decorations and the wedding favours, it can be all about the rain and how wonderful it is to be rained with love and blessings on your most unforgettable wedding day.
