This weekend’s heat wave /extreme weather caused difficulty for many California brides, grooms and planners. Choosing wedding locations in California like Palm Springs, perfect for destination weddings, often make people think they don’t need to worry about weather. Here’s the bottom line:
If any part of your wedding will be outdoors, always have a back-up location.
I’ll repeat.
If any part of your wedding will be outdoors, always have a back-up location.
Get the flowers (and your guests) out of the weather)!
Wherever your outdoor venue is, make sure that you or your planner make arrangements for a space nearby to be available in case of bad weather. That could mean a tent, the church basement, or a banquet room inside, but make sure you have somewhere to go, and people designated to direct guests.
Chances are, you won’t need your back-up location. But looking back at the last year’s tornadoes, hurricanes and heat waves, you’ll surely breathe easier.
Why do I love The Philadelphia Story? Truly, madly, deeply love this film? When you put Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart in one movie about newspaper reporters sneaking in to a society wedding, you’ve already got an amazing thing going. Toss in a sarcastic little sister, various hidden agendas, and clever 1930s comedy repartee (perfectly timed) and the clouds part, the angels sing, and you’ll fall head over heels in love…with The Philadelphia Story.
The Philadelphia Story – a comedic gem to check out when your family is making you crazy with wedding planning!
