]]> Last week we had a freak mid-summer rainstorm that left all of us Californians complaining about the humidity and lamenting that we seem to be on the fast track to fall this year. I, on the other hand, love it when it rains so I was delighted by the whole thing. As a result, this charming post from Amorology couldn’t have come at a better time!

I love how whimsical and fresh the whole theme feels. If you look closely, you can even see little crystal raindrops hanging from fishing line. These invites would be the perfect finishing touch for a fun After the Rain-themed bridal shower, anniversary party or friendly garden get-together.

]]> Last Saturday afternoon, I decided to walk the mere four blocks that it takes to get to some of the best gelato in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was a warm California night, so I didn’t think to grab a sweater—let alone an umbrella.

Naturally, it started pouring down rain in a freakish, fleeting storm that lasted just long enough to leave me soaked from head to toe. Luckily, I managed to keep the rain out of my Coconut Almond Fudge gelato, but it left me thinking about how you can never really count on the weather to do what you expect it to do.

If rain on your wedding day is good luck, then I consider extra good luck that you can rent fabulous umbrellas as an extra precaution. Plus, these designs are so cute, they would make the perfect accessories come rain or shine!

]]> Chilly fall rainstorms have definitely made their way to the Wedding Paper Divas offices! All of this dark and stormy weather evokes a feeling of dreamy romance, but rainstorms don’t exactly provide the best conditions for a wedding.

If your enchanting fall or winter wedding gets rained out, don’t despair! Take advantage of rain to take some amazing pictures like these ones from great photographers and style sites across the web. And don’t forget—rain on your wedding day is good luck!
