2017.12.15 published
Oh no! It's forecasted to rain on the wedding day!
Whether the weather on the wedding day will be clear, cloudy, rainy, or even a typhoon is all up to fortune.
Since we can't control it ourselves, if there is rain forecast for Big Day,
we can only make teru teru bozu and pray to the gods, "Please let it be sunny!"
However, if our prayers go unanswered and it ends up pouring rain, we'll have to change the planned outdoor performances.
It's really disappointing to change the performances at the last minute, but if we get wet and catch a cold or fall, that would be terrible...!
Let's shake it off and enjoy the indoor performances to the fullest!
This time, we will introduce outdoor performances that can't be done in the rain, and indoor performances that are often conducted instead.
Performance that can’t be done in the rain #1 Balloon Release
A balloon release that takes place outside the chapel, by the pool, or in the garden.
It’s an event where balloons are released into the sky, but unfortunately, it can't be done if it rains...
➡ What is the alternative performance?
If the balloon release can't happen on the day,
a classic idea is to beautifully decorate the venue with the balloons that were going to be used.
Alternatively, making a grand entrance with a bunch of balloons during the outfit change is also recommended!
After that, having them around the head table will create a colorful atmosphere♡
Performance that can’t be done in the rain #2 Bouquet Toss
After the ceremony, the bride often performs a bouquet toss with participation from female guests in front of the chapel or in the garden.
Unfortunately, this is one of the performances that can't be done in the rain as it poses risks of slipping and falling.
➡ What is the alternative performance?
However, if there's enough space in the reception hall, there is a chance to do the bouquet toss indoors!
First, consult with your planner about whether a bouquet toss can be held indoors.
Aside from that, bouquet pulls are also recommended. It’s easy to prepare since you only need ribbons!
Performance that can’t be done in the rain #3 Garden Party
The last performance that cannot be done in the rain is the garden party.
Many brides might be planning to hold welcome speeches, cake cutting, and dessert buffets in a lush green garden,
but if it rains, the ground would become soggy, making it difficult to go outside...!
➡ What is the alternative performance?
While it may not be an alternative performance, most garden parties are simply moved indoors.
Having it indoors makes guests feel closer together, and many brides find it nice to be able to talk with various guests!
Let's enjoy the wedding even in the rain♡
We introduced outdoor performances that can’t be done in the rain and their indoor alternatives.
If the wedding day is forecasted to rain, it’s natural to feel a bit sad at first,
but since guests are making an effort to come despite the bad weather, let's take a deep breath and enjoy what we can do indoors!
May every bride's wedding be a success, regardless of whether it’s sunny, cloudy, rainy, or during a typhoon!
