If you’re one of the brides who love to
listen to the rain as it softly hits the roof or likes the feel of the cool air
as it creates comfort and calming effect, holding the celebration during the
rainy parts of the year, i.e. June to November, might be the perfect time for
you. Here are five (5) tips to a successful wedding during the wet seasons.
1.
Venue. Where will it
be? It would be wise to keep it indoors as you need not worry about the
possible changes in the forecast nor making huge effort to prepare for
contingency plans. For instance, if you live in Manila, you can have the ceremony in a
historic cathedral like Our Lady of Remedies or San Agustin Church. Afterwards, your guests can proceed to Palacio de Maynila for the reception. Whichever you decide, should it be in a
chapel, mansion or even lighthouse, select a place that would highlight the
occasion. Just imagine this, how can the weather add to the romantic ambience?
2.
Date. When in June do
you want to get married? First week, second, third or fourth? With the Philippines
receiving an average of twenty (20) to twenty-five (25) typhoons per year,
ensure that you do a thorough research about the past storms. Does it have a
trend somehow? Compare and contrast. If possible, visit your desired site
exactly a year before your wedding. When it comes to timing, should it be done
during the morning, afternoon or evening? Keep in mind that afternoons tend to
bring more rainshowers.
3.
Motif. What color
combos would be nice to the eyes? Some popular options include the shades of
blue, aqua and anything pastel. They are great reminders of the breezy
atmosphere. Be creative in incorporating items that you can associate with the
drizzles such as colorful umbrellas and stylish boots for the bridesmaids and
trendy raincoats for the groomsmen.
4.
Theme. What’s your
overall concept? Rains symbolize blessings, unity and a new day. They signify
good fortune too. How do you set the mood so the people who’ll witness the
exchange of your vows would remember this moment forever? Consult your
photographer for suggestions. Perhaps you would need to add toy boats in the
favor and invite designs or water accents as backdrops.
5.
Special Items. What
are the things you need to take care of to provide the best comfort to your
attendees? Distribute rain cards that instruct everyone on alternate picture-taking
location or travel arrangements. Stock up a bunch of umbrella for individuals
or use a bigger one fit for groups as they walk from their cars to the nuptial
area. Have some hand towels readily available as well.
