Despite a downpour the morning of their wedding day, Grace and James decided to nix plan B and <\/span>embraced the elements<\/span><\/a>. The unpredictable weather couldn’t keep them from celebrating their love in the most beautiful way possible with their <\/span>closest loved ones<\/span><\/a>. Complete with stunning pop-up glamping tents, a <\/span>traditional South-African braai<\/span><\/a>, and lush <\/span>florals<\/span><\/a> in homage to the groom’s family protea farm, every detail of their <\/span>three-day<\/span><\/a> Sunwolf <\/span><\/a>wedding day was simply magical. <\/span><\/p>\n

Armed with chic clear umbrellas, the couple exchanged heartfelt <\/span>vows<\/span><\/a>, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the love of their friends and family. Following their <\/span>ceremony<\/span><\/a> among the trees, their guests were treated to a marquee <\/span>reception<\/span><\/a>. From the towering florals to the tea lights in hanging glass terrariums and the <\/span>canopy of string lights<\/span><\/a>, the pair absolutely nailed the enchanting woodland vibe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of fighting the weather, they rolled with the punches and stayed focused on one another the entire time. And these gorgeous images by Junebug members <\/span>The Godard’s<\/span><\/a> prove that a rainy day affair can still be dazzling. So keep scrolling to find out why rainy weddings are unique and for stunning ideas on making the most of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why They Wanted A Three-Day Sunwolf Wedding Retreat<\/span><\/h2>\n

We wanted our guests to “walk into our world” with an epic three-day-long wedding retreat<\/span><\/a> in the woods. The look and feel of this weekend were top of mind throughout the <\/span>planning process<\/span><\/a>, and we made every decision with the goal of a magical carefree experience. And <\/span>Sunwolf Riverside Resort<\/span><\/a> was truly an escape that provided a feeling of remoteness in a forest setting without leaving creature comforts behind.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Embracing The Rain On Their Big Day<\/span><\/h2>\n

We didn’t get bogged down in the stress<\/span><\/a> of the day. We decided to <\/span>embrace the elements<\/span><\/a> and say our <\/span>vows<\/span><\/a> in the great outdoors. The rain added so much emotion to the <\/span>ceremony<\/span><\/a> and made the <\/span>decor<\/span><\/a> glisten and shimmer. Clear umbrellas were the true heroes of this day and allowed us to move forward with a beautiful ceremony in the rain without obscuring the view or interfering with photos. And now, we couldn’t even imagine our day any other way! <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Keeping Guests Entertained With A Photo Booth<\/span><\/h2>\n

Instead of favors<\/span><\/a>, we opted for a <\/span>photo booth<\/span><\/a> to provide a more personalized experience for our guests to create and keep memories. This allowed for a carefree and fun-loving atmosphere.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
