The Weather Plan: For Better or For Worse
Stellar Shades For An Extra Sunny Day
A sunny wedding day is never a bad thing! But if your wedding starts in the heat of the day and guests will be squinting their way through the ceremony, offering some stunna’ shades for guests will make a world of difference. Hey, you look way too good walking down in your gorgeous gown to not be seen!
After countless chilly weddings in San Francisco, I’ve learned you can never be too prepared for a brisk evening. What seems like a warm and sunny day will always (okay, almost always) drastically change once that sun goes down. And who wants to cover their cute dress with a clunky jacket or shawl? Yes, there’s always the “grit and bare it” option but if you surprise your guests with a few baskets of warm threads to keep them cozy, they’ll love your for life (or at least for your thoughtfulness).
Let’s face it – nothing ruins hair and makeup (and décor items) like wind or rain. Now obviously, we don’t anticipate this happening, as your wedding day will be flawless without a hitch. But, if for some .001% chance there’s dreary downfall on your wedding, don’t stress! You’re the bride – relax and let us, your planners take care of the stress. Just plan to have a stash of cute umbrellas on hand. Not only are they fun for guests and the perfect solution for wind or rain, they’re adorable for photo opps!
We don’t have to state the obvious with this one, do we? No one likes bugs. No one… especially at a wedding. So if it’s one of those venues where it looks like there might even be the slightest chance for mosquitos, flies or any other not-so-pleasant critter, be prepared. It is what it is and guests will thank you in advance! Set up a cute display of repellant and this unpleasant issue can have an oh-so-classy solution!
Hopefully if it’s storm season, you avoided rain and downpours but you’re left with the muddy remains. Good news – things could be worse. Mud is totally manageable… but do consider your guests in all their cute dresses. Let’s not ruin their stilettos (no one wants to be remembered for that). With the insane amount of stylish rain boots these days, there’s no reason not to embrace it. While Aunt Gloria might not take up the offer to wear galoshes with her lace dress, I guarantee you your guests will love the opportunity to sport this fun look. If not your guests, at least offer it for your trendy wedding party!
When the sun is high and the temperature hot, there’s only so much you can do. Some embrace it more than others but we have tons of ways to cool it down. While the dessert menu will already be set, it’s never too late for popsicles. Opt for some whole fruit pops that can be offered even early in the evening with cocktails. The options are endless but we’re all for some frozen treats – regardless the time of day!
