How To Prepare For Rain At Beach Wedding- Complete Guide


If you’ve already chosen a date for your wedding and have an idea of where you want to get married on a beach, be sure to research the local climate at that time of year. 

The most crucial first step you should take is to look up the weather for the wedding dates because you are aware of them. Beaches are often hotter and more humid during the day, and when the sun sets, a nice, refreshing wind blows over the water. Make sure you arrive appropriately equipped.

As stunning and amazing as Beaches are, they are also noted for their seasonal and occasionally erratic weather. As a result, give it a high priority to ensure that your wedding-related assets, such as décor, are used in every situation.

Always be cautious enough to reserve a backup venue from the beginning for any outdoor event. This implies that even if you envision a lovely ceremony on the beach, a covered or inside space should always be the fallback option.

The meeting with the on-site planners to discuss the weather and probable relocation to the backup venue should happen that exact same morning for nighttime events like Sangeet. The meeting and setup for morning activities like your Pithi, Sikh Ceremony, or Hindu Ceremony should be finished by 9 p.m. the night before.

 Make a selection during your weather meeting that will enable you to completely enjoy your events. It’s always advised to maintain calm and serenity. Consider the opinions of those who may be a little more knowledgeable about the weather of the particular place and have faith that whatever choice you make will be the right one! It will be much simpler for you and less stressful while in paradise if you make sure you are prepared for both possibilities in advance. If you have a plan, you may reuse and perhaps reorganize layouts and decorative sets with the least amount of waste.

Rainfall can be sometimes unpredictable. This season typically lasts from August to October, with its peak falling between the final two weeks of September and the first two weeks of October. If your wedding occurs around this time period, you will save money because rates are at their lowest for this time, but you should also plan ahead for adverse weather.

In case a backup site becomes necessary, keep in mind ideas for your decor that might also be used for an interior event.

Create a backup plan with your decor vendor in case you need to relocate to that place. Imagine holding a Sangeet on the beach with lights strung around. If a ballroom was required, then plan B would be to see if string lights could be switched out for wall draping.

Here are some suggestions for things to consider while you try to figure things out:

  • If you need to shift indoors, talk in advance with your decor provider about possible substitutions. For instance, your decor vendor could be ready to replace your string bistro lights with drapery for the ballroom.

  • Since it hardly rains all weekend, usually just one of your activities will be impacted by the weather. Depending on the weather prediction for the weekend,  try to shift sites throughout the course of the event like scheduled outdoor celebrations on day 1 and indoor events on days 2 or 3.

  • Have a wedding with a rain theme. Make the rains a part of your wedding’s theme. Make it seem as though you would adore taking part in the celebration. A monsoon wedding should be obvious from the decor! The visitors may even enjoy the rain while the décor still looks lovely by using a see-through tent. Include it in your invitations, hotel hampers, presents, décor, cuisine, and more.

  • Twirl in the rain. Why not, if your guests are willing to participate? A few sizes of flip-flops should be placed in a basket or bucket so you have ones on hand just in case. You’d be astonished at how many people would agree to do this, especially if they could then relax in the comfort of their own rooms afterward by staying at the event location!
  • The one thing that nobody can control is the weather, so let go and have faith in that. You can always decide to have faith that everything will be wonderful. Be positive and calm after all it is your big day.
