Hurricane season has begun



It's July and we have officially begun hurricane season in Florida.

This year even though weddings are more plentiful I have been forced to take fewer weddings due to illness, the death of my mother, and the declining health of my mother-in-law for whom I provide constant care.

What does this mean for all those couples planning July weddings in Florida?

I will give you a few tips to consider.

Check the weather updates constantly. 

  • Book a vendor with indoor and outdoor options.
  • No one likes to get rained on. This includes your vendors and their very expensive equipment, your guests with their brand new or possibly uncomfortable outfits, and getting a change of date or refunds may be harder than you think.
  • Hurricane season is officially from June 1st through November 30th.
  • There will be daily rains and Florida's flowers and fauna will be green and healthy from the daily rains. 
  • Flooding and loss of electricity will be common.
  • Dates not predicted to rain will fill up very fast. 
  • On weekdays rain usually starts around 5pm but there are days when it starts around 11am and done by early afternoon. Weekends can sometimes be intermittent all throughout the day.
  • Consider taking your wedding day pictures earlier. Talk with your photographer about how best to get the most sunshine in your wedding day pictures.
  • Consider having a smaller wedding. It's easier to reset.
  • Non-rainy days tend to be extremely hot and muggy. Consider this when choosing your wedding day attire, your makeup, and your hairstyle.

Summertime weddings, part 1

  There are a few things more lovely than a summertime wedding. There are also a few things hotter in the state of Florida. Everything is in bloom. The greenery is gorgeous; the flowers are in full bloom, and the sun is beaming down this side of the equator in all of its glory. So what does this mean for you and your outdoor wedding day?  Your guests may be sweaty and uncomfortable if you run late. The chairs roasting in the sun may be uncomfortable to sit on. You, your intended, the bridal party, and your guests may sweat through the elaborately chosen outfits. Your vendors will be hot and sweaty, and that thousand-dollar cake sitting on display outside in 90-degree weather might start melting. It also means you can have a lovely outdoor wedding with nature as your beautiful background. You will have options for pictures.
