I am having an outoor ceremony and I do have a back up plan. In the words of my very wise wedding planner "those with a back-up plan rarely have to use it. Those without one are usually out of luck."
Our back up plan is a tent with chandeliers on the garden area. If that isn't in your budget you could look into indoors locations at the same venue that might be a possible option.
Where is your wedding?
@Treejewel19: Right now I haven't narrowed down venues at all. I just know that it will be in the St. Louis area for sure. The wedding is about two years out from now still, so I have some time to keep on figuring out my options. I know there are some "shelter" type places too, like the World's Fair Pavillion at Forest Park, so I am keeping that kind of option in mind as well.
Be careful with the World's Fair Pavillion during windy months. I know there are some kind of shutters/doors available, but without them it becomes a sort of wind tunnel. Still have nightmares of a wedding/reception set up where the glass fish bowls & mirrors were being blown off tables. Needless to say, we didn't stick around after the ceremony.
Definitely check the St. Louis Parks website http://www.co.st-louis.mo.us/ParksandRecreation/PicnicsBanquetsWeddings
I always wanted an outside wedding but FI does not trust the weather at all, so the Jewel Box was the closest that i was able to get, definetly look into it.
Also, I know the botanical gardens, I believe the Larimore plantaion does, and also most wineries around the STL area have locations inside where a ceremony can be held due to inclement weather. O I forgot also about the Piper palm house, there is an option for either outdoors or indoors, we actually toured this place but ended up going with the jewel box.

Hey Bees!
I rather have an outdoor wedding than one in a church, but I am afraid of completely trusting the weather. Does anyone have suggestions for ceremony sites that are outdoors but under some sort of shelteer/have a indoor backup option??
Thanks!
