Glossary term

Plan B (wet weather plan)

The alternative agreed in advance in case rain, wind or heat stop you using the outdoor space you planned.

The plan B is the indoor, or sheltered, version of an outdoor ceremony or reception. You decide it months ahead, not on the morning: where the ceremony moves, whether a marquee goes up, which flowers follow and which stay.

The delicate point is the time of the decision. Your flower designer needs to know the deadline, because setting up twice costs time and money. The contract should say what happens if you change at the last minute. The guide on the wet weather plan explains how to design it; those on the symbolic ceremony and the Dolomites show two cases where you almost always need one.

What to ask: who decides and at what time, which pieces move, and whether the move costs extra.

Frequently asked questions

When do you decide on the plan B?

Usually the evening before or early in the morning, based on the forecast. Agree the exact time with the venue and the flower designer and put it in the contract.
