EPISODE SUMMARY:

Tune in to hear advice from the POV of wedding experts Tessa and Joe - a wedding planner and a photographer working outdoor weddings all year round.

How to Prepare for Wedding Day Weather
- Controlling the weather: In Episode 2, Tessa shares her pro tips.
- Understand the seasons and plan for it.
- Hope for the best, but have a backup plan.
- Indoor vs Outdoor Venues: Outdoor venues just hit differently, especially with destination weddings. Indoor venues have a special place in our hearts because they are weather-proof, literally a wedding planner's dream come true.
- Have a Backup Venue: A lot of hotels have outdoor wedding options but will hold an indoor space (like a ballroom) just in case. BRILLIANT!
- Hire a Wedding Planner: Joe's words, not mine! A wedding planner’s job is to create a plan B for all things wedding, including weather.

- Joe the "inventor" suggests a hidden fan in your bouquet or a portable AC to stay cool.

- Longer days = summer wedding (more sunlight, longer ocean views)
