You’ll be glad you did.Rain. The dreaded word you don’t want to hear when it comes to your wedding day. Whether you plan for it or not, if it’s going to happen, then it’s going to happen.\u00a0Here’s how to be safe rather than sorry.\u00a0\u00a0Pack a rainy day kitIf you fall victim to rain, it may undo the hair or makeup you had done. Pack a bag of essentials such as hair gel, a comb, mascara, makeup brushes and tissues to be able to make any touch-ups needed due to rain. Designate a member of your wedding party or a family member to be responsible for having this kit on hand at all times. Also have rainboots on hand\u00a0to keep your feet dry.\u00a0Photo via Inspired Events by KellyBring umbrellasHave enough back-up umbrellas on-hand for at least the entire wedding party. If you are getting married in a very rainy environment or during\u00a0a rainy season, consider giving out umbrellas as a favor. If umbrellas are not a cost effective option,\u00a0have rain ponchos on hand for your guests. Umbrellas also make for a great photo op so be sure to have at least one or two on hand that you would like to use for pictures!\u00a0Photo by BG Productions Photography and Videography via Equally Wed Back-up locationWhether your ceremony, reception or both is scheduled to be outside, make sure your venue has somewhere to celebrate your big day in case of rain. If you are getting married in an outdoor only venue, consider renting a tent to cover your ceremony or reception.\u00a0Put in flooringEven if your wedding day is full of sunshine, if it’s been pouring in the time leading up to your wedding, the ground will be muddy which can ruin shoes, dresses and the hems of pants. Avoid a muddy mess and put down flooring for your wedding ceremony and reception. \u00a0Flooring can be wiped dry much quicker than a muddy ground will dry up and will create a cleaner day.\u00a0Photo by Stamford Tent & Event Services via Equally WedEmbrace the rainIf you know it is going to rain, embrace it. Put on some warm socks and trade in those expensive shoes for galoshes. Jump in puddles for your ceremony photos. You can’t do anything to change the weather, so try and make the best of it. You only get one wedding, don’t let a little water spoil your big day."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"How to plan for rain on your wedding day","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/plan-rain-wedding-day\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
