Many a bride planning a spring or summertime wedding will wish the rain away on her special day. If you’ve got your wedding date set during the rainy season, replace the worrying and wishing with clever ways to embrace the possibility. Lots of  ideas that circulate the wedding blogs can inspire you. We’ll point out a few in this post to help make a rainy wedding day one to cherish.

Rainboots

Gear up your bridesmaids in colorful “wellies,” as they’re known across the pond by the Brits. Weddingwire.com has a gorgeous Massachusetts wedding featuring this trick, and you give your bridesmaids something they’ll definitely have use for again.

Umbrellas

Bring back the vintage parasol! Your can find a waterproof version on the old-fashioned, Parisian-style umbrella to lend romance to a rainy wedding day at Bella Umbrella, where you can buy or rent. Most photographers love to use umbrellas as an accessory in photo shoots, so consult with yours about incorporating umbrellas in your pictures. If you’re on board with gifting rainboots to your bridemaids, maybe monogrammed umbrellas for the groomsmen are in order?

Retro Rain Bonnets

Remember these? They’re the clear, nylon or plastic covers from the 1960′s that ladies threw on over their fresh curls after leaving the salon.  Might just be a good idea to have a package on hand for yourself and your bridesmaids. You’ll find them and other vintage rain caps at Etsy.com.
