‘Rain on the wedding day’ is the biggest fear of any couple. And rightfully so too. You have spent a lot of money and time on deciding the perfect picturesque venue for the wedding, the theme, the decor and most importantly, your outfits! But nature is a force we cannot control. Thanks to the climate cry-sis we never know what mood the skies might be in. But worry not. We, the experienced wedding planners in Kolkata have dealt with a ton of outdoor destination weddings and thanks to that – have literal ‘air and rain’ tight backup plans ready to save the day. Here is how we prepare for the unexpected.
Have an outdoor- indoor option
Most destination wedding venues have an outdoor indoor option, where the couple usually chooses the outdoors for the ceremony and pictures and the indoors for the reception and after party. This is an amazing plan. But if the weather gets extreme during the outdoor ceremony, we have arrangements to quickly make the indoors ceremony ready too.
An extra roof never hurt
Certain outdoor venues also have an aesthetic gazebo or a dome shaped mandap included on the property. These can be used in case of emergencies. Imagine the bride and the groom run off into a beautiful gazebo while the guests retire indoors or get out their umbrellas. Sounds romantic in a way doesn’t it?
Playing the nature to your benefit
Nature can actually be the unpaid actor/ fancy backdrop that not many weddings have the privilege to include on their list. Heavy winds and dull clouds? We could actually get an amazing outfit picture with the air and the lighting. The clouds opened up? A perfect compliment to the glass ceiling tents which we can plan.
Getting the important rituals done first
The main event of the wedding is.. Well, the wedding photography. The outfits and the hair and makeup are perfect only for a certain while. We can take your pictures outdoors first and then move the party indoors. We can also complete the weather sensitive rituals first if there seems to be even a slight chance of weather change.
Keeping an eye out for you
We understand that this is the biggest day of your life and you already have your jitters. That is why we are always on the lookout for any signs of weather change. Based on the date of the wedding, the venue and the season it falls in, we already have backup ready and covers unfolding even before the first drop of rain hits.
Going with the flow and making it extra fun.
Well, when everything is said and done, weddings are still a story in themselves. Every couple strives to make their wedding as unique as possible. And every married couple you talk to will have cute anecdotes from their wedding day that they repeat with adoration. What’s more romantic than a slow dance in the rain. Or as the force of nature makes you forget about everything on the outside and you focus on what’s really important. Your partner. We can bring these to life by still protecting your designer wear though.
Rain on the wedding day is a valid worry but it is not something to burden yourself with. We know that you deserve proper wedding planners who not only get the colour theme right, but can also rise to the occasion when things get grey. Literally. So worry not. Talk to our planners now.
