Understanding your "Plan B"

 If there’s one thing you can count on here in the Pacific Northwest it’s that our weather is unpredictable at best.  Just this last week we saw thunder, sunshine, hail, mugginess, and winds all within a few hours of each other.  That’s where sage advice from founding board member Jacky Grotle, owner of Event Success, has advice for all brides, living here in our gorgeous, albeit, capricious, NW or not, to always have a “Plan B”.

“Using outdoor spaces are a favorite choice here in the NW, however you should always understand your ‘plan B’.

As a veteran wedding planner we understand that more than anyone!  We explain to our clients that they have to accept and love the ‘plan B’ as weather here is never certain.  It is ideal if the venue has a large enough indoor area to host your ceremony or reception that was meant to be outdoors.  If that is not the case, you should consider a canopy tent (a tent without sides) to cover your guests from rain or sun.  This is a great choice as it can frame the event a give you some parameters for your decor. 

Sometimes a space is just too lovely and the client just does not want a canopy, such was the case with Angie and Dom with their outdoor Leavenworth wedding.  When my clients choose not to have a canopy and there is not an interior space, I always have available umbrellas (just in case).  They were very happy to have Event Success and our umbrellas as it was lovely for the ceremony but it did sprinkle a little at the reception. 

These photos show that a few sprinkles did not dampen the event and the first dance was very romantic with the umbrella for two.”
