What a fickle lady Savannah is when it comes to figuring out the weather. Blooms at outdoor weddings are truly at the mercy of the sun, humidity and temperature. At 2PM on Saturday, the weather showed 90 degrees with a heat index of 97. Yikes! But as the sky grew a little darker and a cold front approached, the temperature dropped to the low 80s and the rain held. Hooray!
If you're planning an outdoor wedding anywhere in the south, you truly need a backup plan ( a tent on reserve or some sort of indoor rain option). If rain is nowhere in sight but blistering sun and rising temperatures are, always remember to hydrate yourselves and your guests.
Have decorative bottles of water as wedding favors in an iced tub nearby or perhaps a signature drink as well. You'll all be glad you did. Your flowers need the same type of consideration. If your blooms are being used for pre-wedding photos, do your best to place them either in your wedding venue's cooler (ie. walk-in) or place them in water in the shade.
These little preparations will help not only your flowers from wilting but also the bride, groom and their guests.
