The best time of year for a couple about to embark on life‟s most momentous journey, has to be firstly a date that will mean something to you. Setting romantic notions aside like one year to the date your guy proposed, get practical. Read this article for help with choosing the best time of year for a wedding. You cannot simply pull a date out of a hat like magicians pull rabbits out!
The date you choose should be one that will allow all the bridal party to be present. People have lives and they cannot adjust the clock because your wedding is more important. What about the people on the guest list that you would like to have sharing the celebration with you; they have to be considered as well.
Other things you need to consider will be stuff like does
your wedding theme match the season – beach wedding and winter do not go together! How comfortable are you going to be getting married in the dead of winter? How cost effective are the dates you have chosen, high season for weddings is usually summer to early fall or May to August. Everything from venues to caterers and beyond costs a fortune.
You may have a secret desire to marry at a particular time. Here again unfortunately the voice of reason must be heard. If you or your fiancé have a career that necessitates you being in the office, choosing a date at that inopportune time is not going to help. For example, a finance person like a tax accountant is never going to get away in the spring time. The period between November to April is known to be a slack time for the wedding trade. You could cut your costs in half if you have the wedding at this time. Why follow the crowd and plump for a May wedding that will cost a fortune?
Another factor to be considered is the kind of honeymoon you want to have. If you want to go skiing then it has to be a winter wedding, unless you are willing to wait for your honeymoon. Big mistake, something will keep coming up and you may never get around to it! If you want to go exploring a brand new country, check what the weather will be like at that end. Tramping around in high temperatures will not a perfect honeymoon make!
Life is always full of complications and you always have to keep making choices. When picking the wedding date, it is recommended that you get all your ducks in a row. Meaning
make a list of all the important considerations you have to make regarding dates and choose one that has the highest match to everything on your list. You will not get a perfect, 100 percent match so be willing to compromise.
What we will do at this point is present you with overviews of the seasons for you to choose from.
Spring is a great time to get married, the flowers are full bloom and the sun beams down on you, but not too brightly. Everything seems to be reborn and renewed, a great time to begin a new adventure called marriage. In spring you will have flowers in abundance to choose from and every conceivable color to choose from. Great time to travel as well on your honeymoon!
A summer wedding can be held from May to August and be warned it is the most popular time of year for weddings. You can expect prices to be high on everything. To compensate for the high prices you can revel in the warmth of summer and have an outdoor wedding.
Fall weddings are great if you are thinking along the lines of an intimate wedding. A winter wedding can be turned into a magical event with a bit of creativity.
What couples need to be aware of is that there is no perfect time of year to marry that will guarantee lifelong marital bliss. It is not the time of year or the day of the week that will make your marriage work, but the level of love,
commitment, fidelity and trust you bring to the relationship.
