These 5 Couples Embraced Unpredictable Weather on Their Wedding Days!
They say rain is good luck, but from traveling guests to outdoor ceremonies, there are so many reasons why every couple hopes for ideal weather conditions on their wedding day. You can plan for so much, but weather is always going to be the one thing you can’t control.
If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, be prepared! Where will festivities be moved to if the weather takes a turn? When you’re touring venues, ask if they have an indoor backup plan. If they don’t, consider renting a tent. Planning a waterfront wedding? Ask your venue or planner if it gets chilly toward the evening hours and consider providing wraps or blankets as guest favors.
We know planning can be stressful, so the less you have to worry about, the better! Instead of letting the weather ruin your big day, embrace it like these couples did!
Kasandra & JB Snowy Winter Wedding
Who says you can’t have a outdoor wedding ceremony during a Midwest snow storm? 14 inches of snow fell on Kasandra and JB’s big day, but it created the most magical setting for their winter vows at a ski resort!

Lucy & Nate’s Warm Fall Wedding
Lucy and Nate opted for a late October wedding at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Luckily, it ended up being an unseasonably warm 70 degrees! Planning for cooler fall weather, guests were greeted by a hot apple cider bar upon arriving for the couple’s outdoor ceremony.
