Flower Showers and Balloon Releases! What Happens to Outdoor Performances When It Rains?

2019.06.22 published

Many wedding performances are based on the assumption of clear weather.

Everyone hopes for a sunny wedding... but of course, the weather is unpredictable. Statistically, there is also the possibility of rain or storms.

In such cases, performances planned for gardens or outdoors (such as flower showers or entrance from the garden) may not be possible.

Whether it will be canceled or if there is an alternative plan depends on the wedding venue, but here is an example from a senior bride in case of "what if the wedding is rainy."

What to do if it rains?: Flower Shower

The first thing that comes to mind is the flower shower.

Flower showers, confetti showers, and bubble showers in the garden are highly photogenic and popular performances, but they become difficult in the rain…!

If it rains,

☑ It can be done at the chapel exit scene

☑ It can be done indoors during the welcome party

It seems that it is often one of these two options.*

Instead of giving up even in the rain, it would be nice to consult with your planner to incorporate it into some scene♡

What to do if it rains?: Balloon Release

Performances that use balloons, such as balloon releases and drop & fly, cannot be done if it rains.

Since balloons for all guests have already been arranged in advance, of course, costs for balloons will be incurred.

It would be shocking to just pay for the balloons and then not be able to perform it…＞＜

So, if it rains and a balloon release was planned, it seems that balloons are often decorated nicely in the welcome space♡

Even if the performance cannot take place, if it can be a decorative item, you won't feel so disappointed.*

Also, depending on the venue, it may be possible to release balloons without getting wet even in the rain◎

For example, if you go to the edge with a roof and reach out your hand to release them, guests can release balloons without getting wet♩

What to do if it rains?: Dessert Buffet

Opening the garden for a dessert buffet at the end of the reception is also a classic performance, but of course, it will be canceled in the rain.

In such cases, it seems that a buffet space is often created in the welcome space or inside the reception venue to hold the dessert buffet.*

Although it's not as spacious as in the garden, rest assured that guests will be able to enjoy delicious desserts♡

Let's enjoy the wedding performances even in the rain♡

☑ Flower Shower

☑ Balloon Release

☑ Dessert Buffet

Classic garden performances can be performed in some form even in the rain.*

On a wedding day when it rains,

"Rain hardens the ground"

"The couple's tears for a lifetime (which means they won't shed tears in the future)"

"Blessings from angels"

etc., have wonderful meanings♡

Wedding performances can often take a slightly different form despite the rain, so please consult with your planner♩
