Spring can get a little tricky, wedding wise. It is a universal, but widely shunned truth: Whatever the weather would usually be on your wedding day is, well, what the weather will probably be on your wedding day. 

1. Rain. Those May flowers don’t come out of nowhere. If your wedding is outdoors, talk to your venue about indoor options. If there aren’t any, talk to a rental company about getting a tent. Make sure that last conversation includes knowing the last day you can rent a tent. Better to have on reserve and not need, than to need and not have. 

2. Heat. Not to mention humidity. Summer might show up early, so what does that mean for your guests? If they’re going to be in direct sunlight during your ceremony or reception, what can you do? Not everyone will use a fan, but it will be appreciated. I’ve had brides who’ve bought parasols for their guests. Again, not everyone will use them, but the thought will count this time. Fans also work, but they can be noisy, so position them strategically. Definitely have iced water, tea, or lemonade available during the ceremony. Be careful what you leave in direct sunlight, too. Wedding cake melts. Badly.

3. Cold. Here in Los Angeles, the temperature drops pretty sharply once the sun goes down. Elsewhere, it can suddenly just be cold in April. Of course, “cold” to us is 55 degrees. What is it for you? Right. While you’re asking about tents, ask about mushroom heaters, too. Or fire pits. Fire pits are fun, too!

4. Bugs. Gah! Mosquitos, especially. Here’s a bunch of solutions I found on Pinterest, pick the one that’s best for you, even if it’s a bucket of mosquito repellent at the entrance and at the bar. That’s not the type of scratching you want to do on your wedding night, you know?

See you at the end of the aisle,
