It seems as if there are about a hundred things that can go wrong when planning an outdoor wedding. Unfortunately, it’s the truth, and bad weather is most definitely at the very top of that list. This is why planning ahead is so important! Don’t just hope for the best; make sure you will be prepared if nature picks your wedding day to strike.
Time of Year and Location
Certain months of the year have consistently worse weather than others but this can also depend on your wedding location. Most likely, you’ll have chosen a venue close to home, so you should have a good idea of what kind of weather to expect for that time of year, but if you’re having a destination wedding, make sure to do your research early in your planning stages. For many places, winter means snow, ice, and sleet, but even the more popular wedding months still have a risk of bad weather. Most people choose a wedding date somewhere between May and September. While these months usually have a better chance of warm weather with clear skies, unexpected rain storms aren’t uncommon, and they can pop up in a matter of minutes.

A lot of people also forget to consider super hot weather in more humid, southern locations. Being too hot can be a huge problem, especially for an outdoor wedding. Without proper hydration and shade, you run the risk of people getting heat stroke. Food can be at risk of spoiling too, if left in the hot sun for too long.
