If you are planning to have a garden or beach wedding, you should rent a tent if you are expecting rain showers on your big day.

Or you can also ask your reception venue if they can provide a tent in case of rain. Ask for the price and compare it with outside tent suppliers.

Having a tent ready can help you save the expensive styling and every little detail of your wedding.

#3 Check the Weather Forecast

Just to make sure, you can check the weather forecast for your wedding day. If you have an out-of-town wedding, you need to check the weather forecast for your venue, and the place where most of your guests will come from.

Your wedding guests will definitely appreciate this kind of information. It will help them decide better for their outfit, shoes, and might even consider getting an accommodation.

Though some of your guests might find it inconvenient to attend a rainy wedding, those who truly value you will be there no matter what.

On the other hand, if there will be guests who will be canceling their attendance, you can save up from your reception expenses.

#5 Create a Flexible Wedding Timeline

In connection with the weather forecast and the wedding guests, you might consider having a flexible wedding timeline.

When the weather forecast says that there will thunderstorm or heavy rain on wedding day, expect that some guests might be late. Consider their safety, but at the same time, you don’t let the rain ruin your program.

Because you don’t want to start the wedding ceremony without the majority of your family and friends.

So, you must create a timeline that can accommodate some adjustments. Also, this will bring you peace of mind during the big day.
