This weekend’s endless rain has reminded me that Colorado isn’t immune to Seattle-type rainy days. I know that a rainy wedding is on the top of the “wedding day disasters” list, so I wanted to share some tips for making a rainy wedding fabulous.
Besides the obvious “have a back-up plan for your outdoor wedding” tips, I think there are a couple of things you can do to make rainy wedding pictures awesome.
#1: Have a cute umbrella ready
Adorable, elegant, or just plain hilarious umbrellas can make rain on your wedding day kind of fun and exciting! There are tons of cute umbrellas just waiting to make your wedding pictures pop, so having one that you love waiting in the wings could make rain not seem so bad!
Here are a couple of fabulous umbrella resources:
The Umbrella Stand
Pare Umbrella
Bella Umbrella has the most stunning vintage and modern umbrellas and parasols for purchase or rent. (I can totally see parasols being adorable props for sunny weddings!)
#2: Ditch the heels for rainboots
Is it just me, or can you totally see a bride holding a yellow umbrella with yellow rain boots peeking out from under her poofy white dress being the cutest thing ever in the whole world?!
Target has a ton of rain boots online from pink to polka dots to strawberries to these most awesome boots ever.
What a Pair has a giant selection of cutie patootie rain boots.
And if it were me, and I wasn’t doing the yellow boots/yellow umbrella thing, I’d be rocking these frog boots. (Or maybe the ladybug or bee ones.)
#3: Have fun with it!
I think the key to any wedding day mishap (weather or otherwise) is to just have fun with it or around it. (I can totally see a bride holding hands with a flower girl jumping in puddles. With the dry cleaner passing out nearby.) :P As long as you look like you’re having fun, the pictures will reflect that!
