U is for Umbrella

Rain on your wedding day? You lucky duck! ...So superstition says.

Rain is not something that most people hope for, but unfortunately, the weather is not something that you can accurately anticipate in your planning. If you're holding any portion of your event outside, make sure you have a backup plan. More importantly than having a Plan B, loveandlobster.com recommends that you like your second option; if a tent was not what you had in mind, remember that may be the only solution in the event of rain. Even if you are having your ceremony and reception indoors, inclement weather can put a damper on the day and make travel inconvenient for guests.

Don't let the possibility of scattered showers rain on your parade though. Make the best of the situation! Rain gives you some great photo opportunities and the chance to accessorize! Weddingbee.com has a fantastic collection of rainy day wedding pictures, including the picture below.   


Umbrellas can be coordinated to match your wedding colors, used as props (and a practical necessity) in pictures, and can help make the best of your rainy wedding day. Loveandlobster.com also points out that you can take the rain theme a bit further and add "brightly colored galoshes and wellies, [to] brighten up any drab day."

Even without the rain, there are plenty of cute options for umbrellas and parasols that can make your wedding photos unique and memorable.
