Love Your Backup Plan: Creating an “Uncomfortable Weather” Strategy for your Wedding Day
When planning your wedding, it’s easy to dream of perfect weather—but reality doesn’t always cooperate. That’s why a well-crafted rain plan (or uncomfortable weather plan) is essential.
This guide covers everything you need to know about preparing for rain, wind, or extreme temperatures while keeping your celebration seamless and stress-free. From backup options for your ceremony and reception to vendor coordination and guest comfort, I’ll help you embrace the unpredictable with confidence.
Rainy, Fall Wedding at the Horticulture Center at Fairmount Park
If you’ve already skipped ahead, I know what you’re thinking… “Uhm, this certainly doesn’t look like it was raining?!”
Well, it absolutely was. Not a downpour, but for most of Jen and Matt’s wedding day on October 1, 2022, Mother Nature was providing a steady drizzle. This made the entire Horticulture Center at Fairmount Park look so green and lush. And provided a stunning “rain plan” for what was supposed to be an outdoor ceremony.
But the true rock stars were this amazing couple, their photographers (Asya and Georgi from Asya Photography), and the couple’s group of VIPs. They fearlessly braved the rain for photos and the result…. well, I’ll let you be the judge.
