Creating a Rain Plan for Your Outdoor Texas Wedding
How to prepare a weather plan for an outdoor ceremony at Fannin Oaks, and what to confirm with the venue before your wedding day.
Hope for sun, plan for rain
Texas weather can change quickly. A ceremony by the pond at Fannin Oaks is a beautiful plan, and a clear backup plan lets you enjoy the lead-up without worry.
Discuss weather options with the venue during your tour and again as your date approaches.
What to confirm
Ask when the weather decision is made, who makes it and how it affects setup timing for chairs, florals and sound. Confirm the venue’s actual arrangements rather than assuming the reception room converts automatically.
Share the plan with your planner, photographer and officiant.
Keep guests informed
Add a note to your wedding website suggesting guests bring an umbrella or wrap. Assign one person to communicate any changes on the day.
A calm, prepared couple makes for a happy celebration regardless of the forecast.
