An outdoor wedding in Upstate New York is absolutely magical. From the rolling hills down to the picturesque forests, nature provides a perfect backdrop for your special day. However, the weather in this region can be highly unpredictable, throwing in surprises in any season. At Event In A Tent, we specialize in tipi rentals that not only add charm to your wedding but also keep you prepared for any weather Mother Nature decides to bring.
Here‘s how to ensure your outdoor wedding is unforgettable—rain or shine.
1. Tipis: The Perfect All-Weather Solution
When it comes to weddings outdoors, you need a versatile and reliable structure. A tipi is just beautiful for functionality in bringing any weather into your backyard:
Rain
Our Tipis are manufactured with the best quality weather-resistant materials so your celebration remains dry and cozy no matter how hard it‘s raining outside. In the design of a tipi, the steep slopes allow rain to run off easily, hence keeping your guests and your decor protected. Check out our info blog on the strength our wooden poles!
Wind
Windy weather should be expected, especially during the fall. Our tipis are staked down securely to resist gusts and provide a safe and solid space for your guests.
Sun
For summer weddings, the tipis offer shade and great airflow, keeping everyone cool while still enjoying the outdoors.
2. Prepare for Temperature Swings
Upstate New York and surrounding area‘s weather can be quite unpredictable, especially with temperatures that drop rapidly in the evenings. Here‘s how to keep your guests comfortable:
Warmth for Cooler Weather: Our tipis can be fitted out with heaters to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for fall or early spring weddings.
Cooling for Hot Days: Fans or portable air conditioning units can be incorporated into the setup of the tipi for those balmy summer afternoons.
3. Protect Your Décor and Setup
Many outdoor weddings have beautiful décor that may be susceptible to changes in weather conditions. Tipis offer enclosed spaces, keeping your decorations, seating, and tables protected from the elements. Add optional side panels to your tipi for extra protection without losing the open-air charm.
4. Always Have a Backup Plan
While our tipis provide excellent weather protection, it‘s always a good idea to have a contingency plan:
Ceremony Moves – If your ceremony is scheduled to take place in an open area, consider having a tipi set up nearby as a backup location.
Flexible Timeline: If the weather looks like it might improve, build a little extra time into your schedule to allow for adjustments.
5. Turn the Weather Into Part of the Story
Sometimes, unexpected weather creates the most memorable moments. Here’s how to embrace it:
Rainy-Day Accessories: Stock up on colorful or matching umbrellas for guests. They‘ll add a pop of fun and make for great photo opportunities.
Playful Photos: A tipi in the background of rain-soaked or wind-swept photos can make your wedding album truly unique. Check out these inspiring rainy wedding days photos!
