Well we are getting ready for Sara and Jason’s wedding tomorrow ( We do have Sarah and Matt getting married this evening but I believe they are escaping all but some rain )
So what to do if a Hurricane decides to attend your wedding ?
First – RELAX and take a DEEP BREATH- this is a bit out of your control – but there are some things you can do too to help — For Albany tomorrow we are fortunate – some rain and wind may be all that happens. I have touched base with a few of my downstate planners where some weddings have happened, some have postponed and few have canceled.
Here at The Appel Inn :
We have stocked some beautiful new umbrellas – secured a gorgeous, large generator and I am thinking of getting a few pairs of those cute and fun rain boots I just saw while shopping. What a great idea for your bridal party – Marshalls had them in all colors and patterns – how cute for under the gowns —
Give yourself and your guests extra time. Sara and Jason are scheduled to go down the aisle at 4:00pm tomorrow – may happen on time and it may not – If you do need to contact all of your guests try to do so in a phone chain so that you are not answering every call -this is great use of your wedding website where up to date information can be posted –
I have touched base with our caterers for tomorrow to be sure we are ready.
Be sure to contact all of your wedding professionals. You want everyone to be safe – If you do need to call it off for safety – do so – or consider going forward with an intimate ceremony and holding a party at a later date –One of the great advantages of Professional Wedding Guidance as well as a professional team is that we are always thinking of weather contingency plans even before your day –We are able to help you make decisions with a clear head. – Ultimately you do want safety to be at the top of the list. Planning where snow storms and hurricanes attend often?- Consider wedding insurance. I always tell my brides – do not stress over the weather – You have no control over it – However – do be prepared –
We are ready to go for both Sarah and Sara this weekend -Sarah and Matt’s guests arriving shortly –
Visit Appel Inn’s facebook and we will post some photos of this evenings and tomorrows events –
Happy Planning –
