Don't let bad weather ruin your dream wedding—tips for planning ahead!

A wedding is one of the most magical days in a couple's life. But with unpredictable weather, planning a wedding can be challenging. It would help to consider how rain or heat might affect your guests' comfort level and the venue itself. Fortunately, there are ways you can prepare for any weather so that unexpected storms or temperatures don't ruin your big day. We'll provide some tips on how to handle unpredictable weather at your wedding. Let's get into it!

Pick the Perfect Venue

One of the first things you should consider is your venue. A wedding on the beach or in the mountains offers gorgeous scenery, but you'll want to know what certain weather conditions mean for your big day. If you choose an outdoor venue, check if they have the proper facilities to keep you and your guests safe, comfortable, and ready to party despite unwelcome weather. 

We discussed this in our article about questions to ask when touring a wedding venue. In that article, we also mentioned Colorado's lovely Villa Parker wedding venue. This venue has an enchanting Tuscan feel, with mountain views in the distance. At Villa Parker, you will find perfect indoor and outdoor spaces so that you're sure to have a dreamy day no matter what happens in the sky.

Stay Stocked on Weather Appropriate Supplies

While you can't check the weather a year in advance, you can look at the forecast closer to your wedding day. Hopefully, by then, you will know that your venue will be able to handle any potential bad weather. If rain is in the forecast, you can stock up with things like umbrellas and ponchos. Sunscreen can also be good to have on hand if you are spending time outdoors, especially if those UV rays are going strong. Bring handheld fans, which are both cute and practical. You probably have a lot surrounding your special day, so don't hesitate to ask your parents or bridal party to step in here. Packaging items suited to the weather will make you feel much more comfortable and ready to take on the day.

No matter what the weather throws your way, it's important to remember that there are ways you can prepare for surprises. Whether you are expecting a sunny day or rain showers, make sure you have ready by picking the perfect venue and stocking up on supplies suited to whatever Mother Nature brings. Most importantly, try to embrace whatever comes your way on your wedding day—after all, it will be one of the most memorable days in both your and your partner's lives! When you are celebrating love surrounded by friends and family, you're sure to have a blast no matter what.
