HELP! Rain in the forecast.....

daffodil171

Ladies, I really need some help. I'm getting married on Saturday and it looks like there's a lot of rain in the forecast. I am so dissapointed and upset because I so badly wanted pictures outside among a lot of other worries. We are getting married at St. John's Military Academy in Delafield and the reception is at the Brookfield Sheraton. Does anyone have any ideas on indoor locations we could go to around those areas for some pretty pictures?
I am desperate and would appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thank you so much!!

I'm not sure when the weather is suppose to come in to WI, and I don't know anything about the Delafield area
Just keep your head up and hope there is a break in the rain after the ceremony. Overcast skies bring out the best pictures anyway!

GL this weekend!

Hang in there!  My wedding was last weekend and it rained throughout the entire time.  We braved the storm and had awesome stormy sky pictures!

There are probably some really cool pic opps w/in the Academy and the chapel there.  Can you take golf umbrellas and still get some outdoor shots in the rain?

Get some umbrellas - will make for fun pictures!  We got SNOWED on 3 weeks ago - just roll with the punches.

I agree... use some umbrella, they can make for great photo props!  Enjoy your day, rain or shine!!

The chapel is beautiful so if you are looking for romantic, you absolutely can achieve that. Your photographer, I'm certain, will be able to figure some great shots out. It's our jobs as photographers to think on our feet.
And umbrellas? ABSOLUTELY! Go bold! Get your wedding colors into it! Want to go ultra chic? Get some rain boots in your bridal color. I'm serious, if your photographer can do a shot with an umbrella, matching rainboots, and the reflection from the puddles - you will LOVE it.
Besides - rain on your wedding day is good luck.
OOOHHH - also, a photo of you two kissing inside the getaway car (taken from outside the car) with the rain drops down the window.
See, photographers are creative. I'm sure yours will make it work.

I hope that by now, you have dropped this where it belongs - in the photographer's lap.  If they are worth anything, they will have plenty of ideas like those already mentioned.  I personally love the umbrellas in wedding colors.  Hopefully, they are familiar with the venue & know those nooks & crannies that St. John's has that you don't know about until you get there.  Have a Happy Wedding Day & a beautiful marriage.

Embrace the rain! I've seen some neat pictures done with umbrellas, or threatening sky in the background. The rain will not ruin your amazing day!
