There are a few practicalities you need to consider – plan A and plan B! Take the weather for example. Even if the forecast is amazing, you may want to consider some form of shelter, just in case! Make sure your guests are aware of what's in store too, so they can plan their outfits accordingly. Be prepared with umbrellas and wellies – don't let the rain dampen your sprits though! Props like these can be personalised to the bride and groom and create some wonderful photo opportunities. Utilise your surroundings and take some inspiration from nature. The Coniston Hotel's 1,400-acre private estate is bursting with colour and texture, whatever the season. Incorporate this into your day and save on your décor budget! Have an open mind. We all have a dream and vision, but when incorporating unpredictable elements to your day such as weather, you may need to be prepared to flex on a few of the details. Finally, trust the experts!
