6 Tips To Handle Rain On An Outdoor Wedding Venue

There’s an old people’s saying about raining on wedding day, that if the girl licks a pan with her fingers, it is going to rain heavily on her wedding day. As fun as this might sound on a regular day, you don’t want your big day to be ruined by the showers. And when it’s an outdoor wedding, you don’t want all the décor to drench with water, the food all wasted and no chair or table to sit on. So what do you do IF that happens? The weather sure can be unpredictable despite all the weather reports you might have kept in mind when finalizing the date. Here are a few tips on how you can manage if it rains on your wedding day:

It’s always safe to have a plan B for your big day. When you book your venue, make sure to talk to the manager about the backup plan in case of any weather changes. It’s always stress-free and helpful when you know you have a backup option to step indoors for the ceremony.

Your make-up should always be prepared for a disaster. Wear waterproof eyeliner and mascara and apply water-resistant foundation that does not melt when it rains. Get your friend or sister to keep your make-up bag with them in case you need to freshen up.

Here is a great chance for you to accessorize your wedding with colourful umbrellas! Prepare rainy day favours for your guests and it will be a sight to cherish when they open them altogether and it will be colours under the grey sky. Or you can even go for an umbrella ceiling!
