Rainwear / Umbrella’s
If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, then no doubt you’ve been anxiously checking the weather daily for the few weeks leading up to the wedding. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, you can use this time to come up with a contingency plan for rain. Rainwear can be fun & stylish, so why don’t you purchase umbrellas that match with the colour scheme of your wedding? Keep your guests dry by providing everyone with an umbrella, it’ll keep the spirits high if everyone is warm and dry.It might also be worth discussing this with your photographer, there might be the opportunity to create a playful rainy photo shoot with the bridal party in colourful umbrellas and rainboots. This will keep people entertained and will take the worry out of losing the perfect photo set up.
Styling & Rainy Day Make Up
Water-proof make up will become your best friend here, not only to protect you from the happy tears on the day but it’s definitely a rainy-day essential, especially a mascara. If you’re planning on doing your own make up for the big day, we suggest investing in quality makeup that won’t wash off easily if rain does make an appearance.If you’re having your make-up done by a professional, it’s likely they’ll have planned to use waterproof makeup on you already but there’s no harm in double-checking this with them. It’s also worth taking a hair dryer and good quality hair spray to touch up throughout the day should you get caught in the rain.
Bring in the warm touches
A little drizzle is no reason to quickly head indoors, especially if it’s forecasted to pass over in a few hours. We suggest bringing in a few outdoor heaters or if this isn’t possible maybe creating an area of blankets where guests can warm up. Once the dancefloor opens they won’t even notice the slight chill in the air, plus it can produce a nice rustic wedding atmosphere.
