Traditionally, rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck, or maybe just a sign of mud. While we all cross our fingers for sunshine on the big day, there are plenty of ways to prepare for a spot of bad weather.

Find a pretty umbrella that matches your theme, and make sure you and your guests have shawls or wraps handy to stay warm. Invest in a pair of cute rain boots, or even incorporate the chance of showers into your décor! If your hair is on the wild side, consider a headpiece that will help keep the frizz at bay. If there’s an outdoor component to your wedding, make sure you have shelter available as backup: there are so many fun tents, teepees, greenhouses, barns, and other structures that can be turned into a cozy spot to escape the rain.

If your wedding day dawns cloudy, don’t worry: most photographers say grey skies help make your pictures “pop.” A bonus? You might just see a rainbow, too!
