There’s something special about an outdoor wedding. The fresh air, the open sky and the sense of freedom. It all just feels alive. However, wedding couples that love the idea can get a bit anxious about one thing – the weather.
Jimbour House sits on the Western Downs in Queensland, where the climate is usually on your side with dry conditions and plenty of sunny days. Still, no forecast is perfect. That’s why having a solid Plan B is worth its weight in gold.
Backup options you can actually rely on.
One of the best parts about hosting your wedding at Jimbour is knowing we’ve seen it all before. If the skies are forecast to change, you could opt for a marquee on the lawns. Still outdoors, still beautiful, just covered. Or there’s The Hangar, a big, raw industrial-style indoor space you can style exactly to your liking.
You won’t be left trying to sort it out alone either. The Jimbour House team are experts at calmly pivoting plans, keeping everything on track so you can focus on enjoying your day.

Styling that goes with the flow
Styling doesn’t have to be a headache, even if you have to move things indoors. Right now, statement floral pieces are everywhere. Bold enough to stand out outside or look incredible inside if plans change.
Lightweight arches, candle groupings, and textured fabrics are easy to move around without losing your vision. The Jimbour House Estate makes it simple to adapt your styling to whatever the day brings.
Talk it through early.
Even the best weather plan only works if everyone knows what’s going on. Have a conversation with your venue early about what happens if the weather shifts. Check with your suppliers too and give guests a heads-up if there’s a chance of a change.
That way, no one panics on the day, and everything flows smoothly. Jimbour’s team are always happy to help with those details so you feel ready for anything.
Final thoughts
An outdoor wedding has a magic you just can’t replicate indoors. If you’ve got a realistic backup plan, flexible styling, and a team who knows how to handle the last-minute weather curveballs, you can relax and enjoy every moment.
Jimbour has the gardens, the undercover options and the experience to help you pull it all together.
