Rainy Wedding Day Solutions

There seems to be a Canada-wide sigh of relief with the return of spring. Unfortunately, the season’s warmer weather also brings with it the inevitable reality of rainy days, which, if you’re a springtime bride, can cause some stress on your wedding day. Less-than-perfect weather doesn’t have to ruin your perfect day, though! These eye-catching trends can tie into your wedding attire and also keep you warm and dry as you say, “I do.”

1. Cardigans are a cold girl’s best friend

If it’s a chilly day, don’t suffer with bare shoulders. Cover up! These brides effortlessly solved temperature dilemmas with cardigans that added to their overall look. Joanna Goddard, at Cup of Jo, rounded up some dainty sweaters that don’t take away from the elegance of these brides’ wedding gowns. These light sweaters are also a great way to tie your wedding colours into your wardrobe.

2. Umbrellas!

If there’s one thing that a spring bride should take advantage of, it’s the umbrella photo opportunity. Give your girls an extra pop of colour or a fun pattern to hold over their heads, like this adorable purple wedding party on Lucky and Lovely or this Misty Netherwoods wedding, whose rainy wedding photos look dewy and romantic.

3. Spare your heels and sport rain boots!

If you find yourself traipsing through messy fields and deep puddles, consider throwing on a cute pair of rain boots as part of your wedding look and avoid ruining a great pair of heels. Your feet will stay dry and cheery in a glossy print like these rain boot-clad ladies.
