Outdoor wedding: build a plan B that remains elegant

An effective plan B is not about deciding on the morning of the wedding where to seat the guests. It must be defined with the venue and the vendors well before the big day.

Define the decision threshold

Ask the venue manager when and how the decision is made. Light rain does not have the same consequences as a significant weather event.

Check the capacity of the plan B

The backup venue must be able to accommodate the guests, the meal, the tables and the essential spaces. If a tent is planned, check its location, access and set-up conditions.

Plan the movements

The route between the parking, ceremony and reception can become slippery or muddy. Prepare an appropriate circulation plan and clear signage.

Protect the decoration

Ask what can be moved quickly. Fragile or electrical items must have a secure solution.

Keep an enjoyable experience

A plan B can be very beautiful. Prepare it as a true version of your wedding, not as a simple emergency space.
