The bride can be in total control of every aspect of the wedding!

The only thing that is not guaranteed will be the weather!

British weather especially cannot be relied upon so therefore, you will need to think about what precautions you are going to take for your special day.

Umbrellas can be purchased now to match your wedding colour scheme.

Ensure that you have enough for the bridal party but most of all, a large one for yourself so your groom can fit under it after the ceremony if the rain is still falling.

Likewise, you can now get many different his and hers umbrellas and even get them personalised.

Protecting the bottom of your dress will be a priority as you don’t want to arrive in the ceremony venue with dirty wet marks around the bottom. Get an usher to prepare a sheet for you to stand on while outside posing for photos. Then your bridesmaids can help hold your dress up a little while you walk in.

With the hundreds of different styles of wellington boots and many colours available, you will be sure to find some which will not clash and save your new beautiful wedding shoes from getting ruined while you are outside.

If your venue allows for confetti to be thrown, think carefully if it is still raining after the ceremony. Confetti will stick like glue if allowed to become wet and this could cause problems especially if your dress is a light colour. You don’t really want your dream gown to become a polka dot dress!

Your venue may have a dream backdrop for your photos but if the skies are full of grey clouds, ensure there is another site where your photos can be taken. If the rain stops later, you can always get the photographer to do the rest of the shots then.
