My Fear...

My wedding is in October of this year. It is outdoors and in a forest area of a state park in Georgia. It tends to rain a lot in September and October in Georgia. It didn't rain much last year, but the years before last it did rain quite a bit, so much so that one year it actually flooded here! My fear is that it may rain on my wedding and all of the plans and money spent on this immaculate outdoor dream Twilight Theme wedding will be all to waste because of the rain.

My question is should I go ahead and give in and get a few wedding tents for the wedding or even plan to get married instead at a state park, at a venue where we can do it outdoors if it's nice, and quickly move it indoors if it begins to rain?

It kind of messes up the whole vision I had, but at least with the tents, we can still be outside and be under shelter. We can even decorate it nice inside with gothic themes and vampiric ice sculptures and tree centerpieces even. It's good to prepare. So I need help in deciding if we should go ahead and get married in the state park and set up several tents, just in case. Or if we should go ahead book a venue that allows an indoor and outdoor wedding and reception?

I can't decide...help?

Are you doing the reception outside as well? That's the only part I'd be concerned about I guess.. otherwise - Follow your dream!! I would go with the tents as a "just in case" plan rather than having the whole dream of your outdoor forest wedding left behind.

I'd go with the tents, just in case it doesn't rain. You can still keep what you had in mind and get really creative with them. Don't let the fear of rain ruin things for you.

Thank you ladies. I think I'm leaning more towards the tents.

I would book something with indoor/outdoor or else do the tents!! I was first looking into tents as well, because you never know about summer/fall weather. But make sure you remember to think about electricity too. Are there plug ins where you will be setting up the tents? That was my biggest problem! Good luck and happy planning!
