Everyone plans for a perfect wedding.. and has to hope that the weather obliges. There are a million and one things that are within your control at a wedding. You can make sure fighting aunties are kept apart, you can keep the bestman away from the bar (if need be) but you can’t control the weather.
That’s why an alternate venue is so important and not just in the chance of rain.
For whatever the reason this year the weather has been a little wacky.
Gold Coast weather is unpredictable we can have a horrid heat streak with temps in the high 30′s that had everyone pumping up the air-con Horrid. Imagine if that also happened to be the day of your ceremony.
I always advise couples that an alternate venue is a must. Why? Because no one wants to be soaking drenched or sweaty all for the sake of a picturesque location. Trust me, red faced brides or dripping grooms do not make for good photos no matter who the photographer.
Having a Plan B and also accepting that you may need to use it may just save your wedding and make it an enjoyable day.
Some words of wisdom – if you have to make a call about the weather, make it early in the day. Mainly, it gives you time to accept that your ceremony will be in a different location to the one you planned for, it gives you time to get the word out to guests and it gives you time to make your new location as pretty as possible.
In the end it’s all about getting married, and sharing that day with the one you love, and it shouldn’t really matter where that is… just so long as you end up married to the one you love
