Oh Spring how I love you but we all know that Springtime also brings the rain showers! Let me tell you why I think renting a home for weddings over a hotel room may be a great idea!
While this bride lucked out by having the showers only be a drizzle, other weddings might not be so fortunate. Even though it was raining outside in this image, it is still one of my favorite wedding pictures ever.
In this photograph, the bride was having a sweet moment with her sisters and their daughters right before the ceremony. Not only did I find the actual moment between all these females so endearing but the other element of the image that makes my photo heart leap is the setting. This bride rented a beautiful home to get ready in for her wedding. This scenario between sisters and nieces easily could have occurred in a hotel room but would it have been so powerful? Id guess not. That is unless one had rented an incredible hotel room!
In this modern world we live in where there are amazing homes to rent via Airbnb and VRBO, why not look for a stunning house to get ready in for your wedding? Not only will it make your getting ready images more unique but in the case of Mother Nature doing her Spring thing, you would have a great background for some of your wedding photographs that just might have to be indoor.
What are your thoughts on this? Did you rent a home for your wedding and love it? If you are a future bride or groom are you considering a hotel room or a private home?
Greg and I rented a beach house for our wedding. It was a great place for getting ready and meeting with friends. Then after the wedding, we stayed some extra days just by ourselves and enjoyed a little mini-moon before we headed back to reality.
Leave me a comment and let me know what your situation is!
This is such a great tip! Bravo Susannah!
