Wet Weather Plan B
LET’S TALK PLAN B...
Because although I know you don’t want to think about the possibility of your dream wedding location having to be shifted due something like rain, it’s SO important to have a Plan B in place (yes, even if you’re getting married in the middle of summer in Perth 🌞)
When planning your Plan B option, consider:
👉🏻 Is there another option at the same site? It might be possible your venue has a viable indoor option that they can offer you, should the weather not pan out like you had hoped.
👉🏻 Is there another location nearby that you know you can access with short notice? Does your community have a hall that might work, or do you have any family or friends with large verandahs or warehouses that could be converted to suit?
👉🏻 Do you stay at the same location and bring in a marquee? Hot tip: if you’re thinking of going down the marquee route, make sure you really get into the details of that - are there any additional council permits needed? What size marquee will fit in the space & how many guests can you get in it? Have you spoken to a marquee supplier about what they have available, how much it will cost and how much notice they need to bring one in for you?
👉🏻 What will your Plan B will look like? With some creativity and the right suppliers, any space can be turned into a gorgeous ceremony location! Make sure to spend some time visualising and planning out your ideal plan b layout and set up, so that if it does come to that, you’re completely across what it looks like and how it will feel.
👉🏻 How are you going to communicate any change in location to both your suppliers and your guests, and who is in charge of making that happen? (Tip: having a wedding planner is GREAT for situations like this)
And finally, as much as you can, try to fall in love with your Plan B - because if there’s one thing you can’t control, it’s the weather! Putting in the work now means that no matter rain, hail or shine, and what location you’re saying “I do” in, that you’ll be over the moon about it !
Happy planning ❤️
