Rainy Weddings

 With all this rain pouring in Southern California, I couldn't help but wonder how many couples had gotten married over the weekend in the rain, which many find to be unfortunate, while many others think otherwise. 
There is an old saying that rain on your wedding day is actually a lucky omen, and with some tips and backup plans, you can still enjoy your perfect wedding day in beautiful and refreshing way!

When planning to have an outdoor wedding in the winter and spring seasons, you should always have a contingency plan no matter what.  You can start early by checking an almanac or researching online when the driest times of year are in your area.  If you have a tent outside, consider renting a floor, to prevent guests from waking into a muddy reception area. 

If getting married indoors, the rain becomes more of an annoyance than a real problem.  Have plenty of golf umbrellas readily available for guests, family, and bridal party, to shuttle back and forth outside.   Last but not least, if it does end up raining on your wedding day, the best thing to do is grin and accept it and really try to not let it ruin your day.  After all, some of the most beautiful photos and moments come from singing, dancing, and playing in the rain!
