Hi friends!! Today I wanted to chat with you about something we actually don’t ever want to talk about, but really need to, which is how to plan for your wedding day rain plan. Here in Alabama you really never know what’s going to happen. If you chose an all outdoor wedding venue, it’s great to have a just-as-perfect rain plan. Although you don’t hope for it to rain, it’s great to plan ahead. 

When choosing a wedding venue, it’s important to make sure there is an alternative option in the case of rain. Review your options, whether it’s an indoor facility or needing to tent the area, try to decide on what option will be best for your venue, guest count and budget. After securing your venue, it’s great to go ahead and book those rain plan options. I know it’s tough to book the vendors or items ONLY if it rains, however I promise it will give you some peace of mind.

My suggestion is to get your rain plan completely planned and booked at least 6 months out from your wedding day. Unfortunately if you wait to the last minute, it is often hard to find an alternative option because tents or other indoor facilities may have been booked before you, especially if there is a high chance of rain in the forecast.
