  3. Personalize packs of seeds or even bulbs that your guests can plant to commemorate and let your big day live on through lovely flora.

We can try to deny it, but the reality is that it’s difficult to predict the weather, and that is especially true in Springtime. So, planning a spring wedding takes a bit of proactive thinking and preventative measure to ensure that you’re getting the most of the weather- and not the other way around.

We’ve compiled five of spring’s biggest concerns and their solutions.

Here we go:

 

Concern Solution
Rain! Make sure your rental company has a rain policy and choose venues with standby coverage if needed. Plus, makeup protector and umbrellas can be your saving grace.
Mud Pack a stain remover for clothing and extra shoes just in case. If you must wear your heels through mud, heel protectors can be a game-changer.
BUGS! If it’s outdoors, keep repellent abundant, ask your florist to keep it bug-friendly and keep scents like perfume to a minimal.
“It’s too Hot” Keep your hairstyle versatile in case it needs to be pulled up and offer personal fans or even cold packs to guests.
“It’s too Cold” Keep shawls on hand that you can distribute to wedding guests and consider a fire pit that works with your décor.

And there you have it, tips for your perfect Spring wedding. Happy Planning!
