Rain...
It rained on my wedding day - thirty eight years ago. Some say it is a blessing and yes, you can turn it into one. You can check the weather daily just before your wedding and
realize there are some things that we just do not have control over.
We can turn them around and make the day even
more special, so embrace the rain. Appreciate it…Some seriously beautiful
things happen when it rains on your wedding day…that can become magical and
most memorable.
Make your decision …and don’t stress over it. Trust your
vendors, for they are the pros. Our team at Magnolia Hill has switched quickly
from the outdoor stone altar quickly to the barn when it started pouring. The bride
never got a drop on her.
No one, I mean NO
ONE, will forget watching two people declare their love in the rain. Which
means that your wedding will, quite literally, be unforgettable. Photographers
love the overcast sky for the color saturation in your photographs is much more
beautiful than in brilliant sunshine.
You can’t change it so, get over it and embrace it. You’re
going to get wet, so go ahead and get some awesome, unique photos! Or even
better – get the photos you wanted in the sunshine but with rain drops and
adorable umbrellas!
Just be prepared, a bride and groom holding
parasols…adorable. Perhaps even the whole wedding party holding matching
umbrellas…
You are surrounded by the people you love most! Rainy weddings force
us into small spaces. Forced togetherness, it’s great for families.
Everyone will rally around you and your family photos and bridal party
photos will feel very intimate.
If it continues to rain, guests enjoy the Big Red Barn that can host both the ceremony and the reception. But if we can squeeze out enough time for an outdoor ceremony, that is usually first choice.
If the ceremony is in the barn, the bride is driven down in the Packard car for her entrance.
Parents are ushered in....
The bride arrives with a bit of help from the ushers.
A sweet precious moment of this wedding...the minister asked the couple to turn around and look around the room at the love in this room. They were circled and surrounded by friends and family who loved them dearly. The sound of rain hitting the tin roof as they said their vows, the candlelight, the warmth of the love in the barn this day was one of the most memorable ever.

A First dance...and congratulations were in order.
