How to Prepare for a Rainy Wedding Day

First things first, we can handle a little rain! So don't sweat it. Rain on your wedding day isn't the worst thing in the world! :) 

1. Planning for a rainy day starts BEFORE you book your venue. When you're looking at venues, make sure they have porches with awnings, indoor options with great natural light and a backup ceremony location that you're OK with. 

2. Clear umbrellas SAVE THE DAY. Go buy these! Unless I'm photographing your wedding, because I have 10 of them in the trunk of my car at. all. times. They are CLUTCH!

3. Make sure you have a change of shoes! Maybe 3 or 4! If you will be venturing out into the rain for portraits, maybe switch to boots or water resistant shoes. That way you don't ruin your heals! You can wear your heals for the ceremony and switch to something more comfortable for the reception.

4. Don't sweat the small stuff. You literally cannot do anything about the weather. Enjoy your day for what it is. If rain is part of your wedding story, embrace it! You set the tone for your guests. Shake it off and have a BLAST! 

At the end of the day, no wedding is totally perfect. And no marriage is either. Enjoy your day and embrace whatever weather you get!
