Wedding in the islands: What to do if it rains?

With the unusually heavy rainfall this season, we’re thinking of all the couples preparing to celebrate their love under the Caribbean sky. If the weather decides to join your wedding day, don’t panic! Here are some tips to turn the rain into a magical and unforgettable part of your celebration.

1. Always have a plan B

Even during the dry season, a passing shower can take you by surprise. But looking at the recent weather in the Antilles, we’re all more than surprised by these continuous rains. To avoid last-minute stress, here are a few solutions:

✅ A venue with a covered alternative: A beautiful open-air hall or a decorated pergola allows for a smooth transition.

✅ An elegant and bright tent: If your reception is outdoors, a transparent tent will keep the stunning view while providing protection.

✅ Matching umbrellas for a chic touch: White or transparent models make stunning photo accessories.

2. Adapt the decor and atmosphere

Rain can actually be an opportunity to create an even more intimate and magical ambiance (Yes, we prefer to focus on the positives!):

✨ Use warm lighting: String lights, lanterns, and candles will create an irresistibly cozy effect.

✨ Provide small blankets for guest comfort: A cozy detail that makes all the difference.

✨ A comforting drink bar: Hot chocolate with cinnamon, ginger tea, or even a good rum to warm up in style. Don’t forget "pain au beurre / chocolat"—a festive must-have, even more delightful on a rainy day.

3. Embrace the rain for unique memories

Instead of dreading the rain, why not make it a highlight of your wedding?

📸 Romantic photos in the rain: Soft lighting and reflections make for even more poetic pictures.
