Rain on Your Wedding Day in Ipswich

What if you get rain on your wedding day in Ipswich? Unfortunately, you can’t order perfect weather for your wedding day. Most couples hope that they will have perfect weather, but sometimes the rain just doesn’t play along.

The News Isn’t All Bad

There are some good points about having rain on your wedding day in Ipswich.

  • Even in the middle of a hot Ipswich summer, rain refreshes the air and drops the temperature
  • Rain settles allergens like dust and pollen. This is good news for anyone with asthma or hay fever
  • Fresh flower bouquets look fresh for longer
  • Your photographer will get some amazing and atmospheric photos, particularly if the rain stops and you are able to go outdoors for photos

The News Isn’t All Good Either

Of course, there’s a downside if you get rain on your wedding day in Ipswich.

  •  You must have a Plan B if your ceremony is outdoors. If your ceremony is outdoors and your reception is at the same venue, it will almost certainly have a wet weather, undercover option. If your ceremony is in a park or garden, or at the beach, you need an indoor alternative ceremony location that you can use in case of rain on your wedding day in Ipswich
  • Umbrellas are great for a light sprinkle of rain. Soaking rain will drench your guests despite their umbrellas, so you need to make the decision early enough so that everyone, including your celebrant, can arrive at the alternative venue in plenty of time
  • Wet weather can wreck hairstyles. It’s much more difficult to keep intricate bridal dos looking fabulous in damp weather. Simpler styles and lots of hairspray might help
  • If you are able to have photos outside after rain, remember that the ground might be wet and soggy. Shoes with spiky heels can sink and hems of gowns get muddy

Rain Friendly Venues

Most venues have an indoor option if it’s raining on your wedding day. In Ipswich, Brookwater Golf Course and many other venues have undercover areas to take the worry out of the weather for you. If you’re worried about thunder storms spoiling your afternoon ceremony, have a look at chapels like The Darling Street Chapel or the quaint little chapel at Kholo Gardens.

If you’re worried about windy weather rather than rain, have a look at my blog Windy Wedding Day.
