A party or wedding in a botanical garden would be gorgeous, but moving it into the on-site greenhouse would also be great!

Knowing how to take beautiful pictures in the rain is a real skill, so make sure whoever you hire has it.<\/p>\n<p>Keep some cute accessories on hand in case the rain does fall. Just because it\u2019s pouring doesn\u2019t mean your clients will want to forego beautiful outdoor photographs. Make the most of the bad weather with charming rainy day accessories like large umbrellas or colorful boots. The playful spirit behind these items will make for some great shots, and even better memories!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_172461812_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding portrait taken in the rain\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_172461812_ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_172461812_ed-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to photographers, ensure that caterers, performers, and anybody else involved in the event can handle less-than-ideal weather conditions and still put in their best work. After all, <i>you\u2019re<\/i> not going to fall apart because of some rain, so neither should they!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_Transportation\"><\/span>Consider Transportation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If guests will be switching venues during the course of the event, make sure they can do so while staying dry. If guests were planning on walking between locations, have an alternate mode of transportation available. Think covered golf carts or consider building some space in the budget to have chartered cars on standby, especially if guests are drinking. What was supposed to be a 10 minute walk will be miserable in bad weather, but if guests were not intending to drive themselves then they shouldn\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n<p>These considerations will depend on your venue, but no guest wants their hair and makeup ruined and their best suit soaked part way through a fun event.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bring_Supplies\"><\/span>Bring Supplies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow: auto\">\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n<p>Lastly, don\u2019t forget to bring rainy day supplies! Towels, ponchos, and umbrellas may seem obvious, but when you\u2019re pulling your hair out trying to plan every other detail, something so simple can easily be forgotten. If you check the forecast in advance and see that rain is on the horizon, you could send out a quick email blast reminding guests to come prepared. Even if everyone sees your message someone will always forget, so make sure <i>you<\/i> don\u2019t. Have extra rainy day supplies on hand just in case! Not just any old umbrella or ratty towel will do either\u2014go the extra mile by providing colored-coordinated or patterned umbrellas and fluffy fresh towels.
