I had a fun one recently: a wedding in the forest preserve–and a big, old rainstorm. Fortunately, it all turned out well.
The welcome table at the ceremony set the tone: hand-made, offbeat, colorful, and fun.
The bride had made about a hundred pom-poms on sticks to line the driveway to the picnic shelter.
Home-made banner garland hung on the backs of the vintage chairs.
Inside the picnic shelter, there were more colorful decorations.
And more garland hung from the roof.
Here's the cake table, with photos of the couple hanging behind it.
Here's a close-up of the flowers on the cake table.
On the patio, there was more vintage furniture, creating a pleasant lounge area.
There were also games on the patio.
Inside the tent, the picnic tables were set up for eating, once the food trucks arrived.
Everything was going wonderfully: There was beautiful sunshine for the ceremony; the food trucks (tacos and gelato) kept everyone fed; the cake had been cut; and the guests were starting to trickle out. And then….
The skies opened up!
It rained and blew for about 40 minutes.
After about two inches of rain had come down, the sky cleared. The rest of the guests were able to leave, and everyone agreed it had been an exciting day.
