One question I always get asked is ‘What if it rains on our wedding day?’ Unfortunately, no matter how much planning has gone into your day, the one thing you just cannot plan for is the weather! Try not to panic or worry about it too much, but I know that is easier said than done. I remember obsessing over the weather in the run-up to our wedding day, checking the forecast daily on all the different weather apps! Turns out none of them got the forecast right anyway and we quite literally had all four seasons thrown at us! Rain, sunshine, storms... But none of that mattered and despite the weather's antics, it was still the best day!
If it does rain on your wedding day, what should you do? I think the best thing you can do is embrace it!
When it comes to your couple photos, there is the option to wait until the rain stops and then take photos. I am yet to have been to a wedding where it has rained non-stop. But rain can actually add a fun element to your wedding photographs. Get prepared for wet weather 'just in case' before the day.
Also, consider having some night portraits done out in the rain - the rain at night looks magical with a bit of creative flash! This is also the perfect excuse to snuggle up together, spending a few minutes away from the party to take the whole day in!
Finally, did you know that rain on your wedding day is actually seen as lucky? A wet knot is hard to untie, so they say if it rains when you 'tie the knot', your marriage will be just as difficult to unravel. Either way, the weather doesn't need to change your plans. You will still have the best day ever!
