How to Handle Rain on Your Wedding Day: Tips for a Memorable Celebration
Rain on your wedding day might seem like a disaster in the making, but with the right mindset and preparation, it can become an unexpected blessing (and gorgeous pictures to boot!). If you’re planning your special day at SpringHaus Farm in Madison County, Georgia, a charming outdoor and rustic barn venue just 15 miles from Athens, you're in for a treat—rain or shine! Here are some tips to ensure that a little rain won’t dampen your spirits.
1. Embrace the Beauty of Rain
Rain can create a romantic atmosphere that actually enhances your wedding photos according to some photographers. The soft lighting, lush greenery of the pine with a dewey mist on the branches, and foggy backdrop can add a magical touch to your photos. Instead of viewing rain as a setback, embrace it as an opportunity for unique and memorable photographs. Consider hiring a photographer who has experience shooting in inclement weather to capture those stunning moments. It has been said, rain is actually something lucky on your special day. Everwood Photos does an exceptional job at rainy day pictures!
2. Have a Backup Plan
One of the most important steps in planning a wedding at SpringHaus Farm is to have a solid backup plan. Fortunately, this venue features both beautiful outdoor spaces and a lovely large white oak rustic barn. If the forecast calls for rain, SpringHaus Farm will have a clear plan for moving your ceremony indoors or under a covered area. They will have this discussion long before your special day, so having the layout known with your wedding coordinator or venue owner to ensure a seamless transition is key.
3. Prepare Your Guests
Keep your guests informed about the weather forecast as your big day approaches. If rain is expected, consider sending out a gentle reminder to bring umbrellas or wear appropriate footwear. SpringHaus Farm will have a few umbrellas but it may not be enough depending on how many guests you have. You could even offer fun, stylish umbrellas as wedding favors, adding a thoughtful touch to the day!
4. Choose Weather-Appropriate Attire
When selecting your wedding attire, think about how the weather may affect your outfit. Lightweight fabrics and comfortable shoes can make a significant difference if you end up navigating wet grass or muddy terrain. If you're open to it, a second pair of shoes for dancing or a cute pair of boots can keep you comfortable and stylish. Always remember to have covering under your white dress, rain can really 'highlight' what's underneath!
5. Enhance Your Decor
Rainy weather can enhance your wedding décor with cozy and romantic elements. Consider using battery operated candles and fairy lights to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in SpringHaus Farm's white oak barn. Draping soft fabrics can also add elegance and charm, transforming the space into a dreamy hideaway, perfect for a love-filled celebration.
6. Keep the Energy Up
Rain can change the mood of your celebration, so keep the energy lively and positive. Incorporate upbeat music, fun activities, and delicious food to keep spirits high. SpringHaus Farm's stunning rustic barn provides the perfect setting for lively dancing and celebration, rain or shine.
7. Capture the Moments

These candid shots will be cherished memories for years to come. Consider setting up a fun photo booth with props that embrace the rainy day theme.
