Colorado is known for it’s sunshine but afternoon thunderstorms are especially a reality in the summer. What’s a bride to do!? Whitney & Joe were planning an outdoor ceremony at Hearth House Venue in Monument, CO. The weather had other plans as it was misting or raining all afternoon. I know the saying is that rain is good luck on your wedding day, but I am more of a believer that you have to choose to make it that way for it to be good luck! If you are worried that rain could threaten your day, here are a few things to keep in mind…
- Choose a venue whose indoor ceremony site you would be happy with as back-up! Hearth House has the perfect interior space that looked beautiful when the ceremony was moved indoors.
- Thank goodness for day-of coordinators! Make sure your coordinator knows your wishes ahead of time so you can work together to make the call if a change needs to be made. Our coordinator Amy saved the day by making sure everything was ready to go despite the last-minute switch to indoors.
- Make the best of it!!! It can absolutely be disappointing to have to change the vision you had for your day. Remind yourself that your marriage is the most important outcome no matter what else happens and that it will make for a good story one day!
I love the misty, moody feel to Whitney & Joe’s photos that could have only turned out this way thanks to the less-than-ideal weather. We also were able to venture out in the mist to what would have been the ceremony site for bridesmaids and wedding party photos.
P.s. Your photographer always carries her rain gear with her just in case we need to brave the rain along with an umbrella or two!
