You\u2019ve got your entire wedding day planned<\/a>. The wedding ceremony will be out in the gardens of a stately home, followed by a drinks reception on the lawn. All being well, dinner and dancing will take place in a marquee and everything will be perfect. Unfortunately, the British weather is often unpredictable and as such, it might be an idea to have a \u2018wet weather wedding plan\u2019 in place. Here are a few tips!<\/p>\n

Book an Acoustic Band<\/p>\n

You might be thinking your wedding reception will be fine in a marquee but let\u2019s assume the worst and assume a thunderstorm has rolled in. Neither a DJ or a plugged in band will be able to perform in such circumstances, certainly if there\u2019s a power cut as well so why not ensure that your wedding goes without a hitch by booking wedding entertainment that can definitely play an acoustic set. Acoustic bands will never be problematic if your wedding venue has a sound limiter.<\/p>\n

Book a Strolling Act<\/p>\n

Following on from booking an acoustic band for your wedding, hiring a strolling act is a no brainer. Completely self-contained, strolling acts can move back inside at a moment\u2019s notice and will be able to perform an identical routine no matter where they are. Magicians, silhouette artists, caricaturists and more are not only a dream to have when bad weather rolls in at a wedding \u2013 lightening the mood considerably \u2013 but can also make sure that some of the less able guests will be entertained at the back of the room. A truly bright idea!<\/p>\n

Liaise with your Venue<\/p>\n

Wedding venues<\/a> are sure to have needed backup plans in the past so it makes sense to ask about their ideas for the future. Darkening clouds, power cuts, what if the marquee is whipped away by a tornado..? Okay, it all seems very unlikely, but venues will almost always have a Plan B so it pays to ask in advance so that nobody is left confused and anxious if storm clouds roll in.<\/p>\n

Buy a Number of Umbrellas<\/p>\n

Yes, it is rather obvious to have an umbrella in case of wet weather but what we mean by this is that wedding photographs will look a lot better with the same coloured umbrellas for all than a number of mismatched ones over the top of your guests. They don\u2019t have to be particularly expensive, they just have to look good. Feel free to contact your wedding photographer in advance to see what they think might go well with your other wedding plans (venue, bridesmaid dresses, etc.)<\/p>\n

You\u2019re getting married to the best person ever! Who cares what\u2019s going on with the weather?<\/p>\n
