How to Deal with Rain on your Wedding Day

As a Flourtown, PA wedding venue we've seen our share of weddings.  And as a professional we've made sure to eradicate any issues that come up but sometimes Mother Nature has a different idea.  So what would you do if during your outdoor wedding it started to sprinkle..and then pour rain?  Panic?  Not if you're prepared. 

Here are a few backup plans you can have in place for your Flourtown wedding day just in case it starts to rain:

• Tell your guests to bring umbrellas.  Girl you planned an outdoor wedding so it shouldn't shock your guests when you talk about covering themselves from the elements. 

• Provide your guests with umbrellas.  Some brides choose to take matters into their own hands and provide umbrellas for their guests.  We have quite a number of wedding professionals that provide the cutest umbrellas just in case.

•  Trust your wedding professional.  Because you hired professionals they won't even bat an eye if it starts raining.  A true wedding professional knows that rain is a possibility and they'll have prepared for it....so no need to stress about it.

•  Embrace it!  Hey so it's raining on your wedding day..have fun with it.  Wedding photos will be much cuter if you're smiling in them.  Don't stress over what you can't change.  Live life by this motto and you'll never have a bad day..rain or shine.

Of course, our goal here at the Flourtown Country Club is to ensure that your wedding day is perfect.  As we mentioned a true wedding professional in Flourtown will be prepared for come what may.  So give us a call and we'll help ease your mind as to what happens if it starts raining.

Spring and Summer Wedding Reception Themes

Spring is here, and summer is just around the corner, so what better time than now to look at some of the fabulous wedding reception themes that are perfect for the warmer weather seasons.

Butterflies

With beautiful colors, delicate patterns, and a sense of natural whimsy, butterflies are the basis of a wonderful wedding theme. Butterfly patterns can be dotted throughout your decor, and even feature in your bridal accessories. Some brides are also using nature itself, opting for a butterfly release in place of the outdated rice toss.

English Garden Tea Party

Silver tea service, fragrant flowers, and bite-size treats make up this timeless wedding theme. For a fun twist, bring in a bit of Alice in Wonderland to the theme with nods to the Mad Hatter’s famous tea party. Either way, it is a perfect theme for an elegant but casual spring wedding.

Vintage Glamor

Vintage themes have been popular for a while now, and they are holding strong throughout this year. Give the theme a glamorous edge with crystal-laced centerpieces, lighting features, and cake decorations. Signature cocktails made with a bit of glitz are an excellent addition, too.

Any theme requires a fantastic wedding venue. If you’re looking for one of Pennsylvania’s best wedding venues, give us a call to find out what we can offer you for your wedding day.

Using Arbors at Your Wedding

Every part of your wedding needs some decor, and that includes your ceremony. One of the most popular choices for wedding ceremony decor is to use an arbor. These come in a variety of styles and can suit any wedding theme.

The more traditional styles of arbor will use flowers to create a frame for your ceremony. You and your fiance will exchange vows under the arbor, or pass through it as part of the ceremony. This can allow you to use the same flower types as you are using in your bouquet or centerpieces.

Arbors can also be dramatic and modern, though. Metal arbors can be used to hold floral arrangements, candles, or as decorative pieces on their own. With different metallic tones available, you can convey rustic charm or glitz and glamor with your choice of arbor.

Along with being beautiful, a wedding arbor can also be a nod to tradition. Many cultures use arches and canopies in wedding ceremonies, and you can honor these traditions with your arbor.

The perfect arbor for your Pennsylvania wedding will reflect your wedding’s style and suit your venue. If you’re looking for a fantastic venue, check out what we offer at the Flourtown Country Club today!
