I hope everyone had an enjoyable bank holiday weekend. If you caught any of the Jubilee coverage you will have noticed that the defining feature of the celebrations was the weather. Lets hope the Queen got a cup of tea after standing in the cold and rain for hours watching all those boats sail down the Thames. Nobody wants rain on their wedding but, with the classic unpredictability of the British weather, and with more couples choosing the cheaper winter months to marry in, it's best to be prepared for all eventualities.
If your wedding celebrations are taking place inside a typical venue such as a hotel or country house, then the only time the rain is likely to find you is when you're moving from your wedding transport to your venue, and during the time allotted to group photos. Ask your photographer what they plan to do if it rains and make sure they are comfortable taking some of the group shots inside. Most photographers will also want to spend time alone with the couple to capture more personal shots, and for this you could invest in an umbrella that matches your wedding colours and go for a walk together. If you're planning on walking on grass, changing from heels to flats is also advisable.
Even if your wedding reception is inside a marquee, the rain needn't prove a problem. Wedding marquees are very far removed from the damp, unstable structures you may have seen at your local village fete, and the marquee company should be happy to answer questions about preparing for wet weather. Thinking about your guests, make sure they don't have to walk too far between the marquee and the car park, toilets etc, and perhaps have ushers standing by with umbrellas when people arrive. Finally, remember that wellington boots now come in a variety of stylish designs, and could make for some amusing memories when looking back at the photos!
