Don't Cry Over Spilled Rain

So many summer weddings are planned for the outdoors (September and October in the Northeast are big outdoor targets as well). No one does the outdoors without a sensible contingency, but I've worked with several brides who let the rain "get them down".

My advice: visualize a spectacular kind of intimacy by having your ceremony indoors, so that the aesthetic of outdoors doesn't become the absolute of your vision. Think this will disappoint you if it's a sunny day? No way! Everybody loves and welcomes the sun, but having to deal with any shred of disappointment on your special day is a burden you don't need to carry.

Bottom line: your inner peace manifests more beauty and serenity than any makeover will ever provide. Have it both ways in your mind and then let yourself enjoy your own day, no matter what mother nature does.
