If you are planning a wedding in April then you can still have a rain-free wedding – according to holiday-weather.com the UK has an average of 14 rain-free days in April so you have almost a 50% chance of a day where there isn’t even a drop of rain, so the chances of a full on downpour are slim.

If you are still concerned about April showers or you simply like to be prepared for anything then take a look at some rainy wedding ideas that are so good you will be wishing for rain on your wedding day…almost.

Wedding Wellies

The contrast of cute wedding wellies with your beautiful white dress will look great and can give you some fun and memorable weddings. Add some vibrant colours and patterns for some fun wedding pictures or think about bridal white is you want to keep a little bit of tradition!

Wedding Umbrellas
