What a wet few days it has been here in Sydney.

If you are getting married and it’s forecast to rain on your wedding day, don’t panic. As long as you are prepared, your wedding day is going to be just as memorable. Plus, lots of cultures believe it’s good luck when it rains on your wedding day.

However, it is wise to have a Plan B. That way, you don’t have to make decisions on your big day.

Here are some tips:

1. Have a rainy day contingency plan. Once a plan is in place, be decisive and stick to it. That way, you can enjoy your day, rain or not, knowing that things are going according to your plan.

2. Prepare plenty of umbrellas for your guests.

3. Have more cars available to ferry your guests around.

4. Offer your guests steaming mugs of hot chocolate, coffee or tea.

5. Buy matching wellington boots and umbrellas for your bridal party.

6. Have your DJ or band play happy, rain-themed songs. Think “I’m Singing In The Rain”.

7. Enjoy yourself. It’s the day you marry the person of your dreams.

Plus, rainy days make some of the most awesome photos!

So rainy day bride, have a great day, and if it does rain, remember: a wet knot is harder to untie.
