After you’ve basked in the glow and excitement of being engaged, you must now plan a wedding. If you dream of a romantic wedding, you need the right atmosphere, venue, and season of your choice. While there are twelve months and four seasons in the year, some dates are more popular than others for weddings.
June
It’s no surprise that most wedding invites have a June date; June marks the first official month of summer. However, the weather is still mild thanks to the transition from spring to summer. If you want an outdoor wedding without a high chance of spring rain or late summer heat, June is a perfect time. Not only can you beat bad weather, but your guests will likely have an open schedule thanks to summer break and vacation time.
September
September is another perfect transition month as the summer heat cools into early fall. Plus, there’s no more summer competition for wedding venues. In other words, it’s easier to get the wedding venue of your choice. According to Zola, September weddings symbolize luck and serenity for a newly wedded couple.
October
Fall colors are in full swing by this month, meaning you could incorporate autumn themes into your wedding decor. Your guests will also start to feel more festive, as your wedding will be on the brink of the holiday season. There’s even less competition on the calendar than in September for romantic wedding venues, since summer is over and the winter holidays haven’t hit. At this time, you also have more seasonal food options for your reception, such as pumpkin or butternut squash soups.
December
According to The Frisky, a leading online resource for women, the average budget for the wedding ceremony and reception is $28,385, and you can spend that in different ways based on the season. If you host your wedding in December, you could have a Christmas theme with an oversized Christmas tree and gift-wrapped party favors for guests. You could also include beautiful poinsettia table settings and spiked eggnog at the reception.
Getting married is a special time. There’s no set month or season to have your romantic wedding, so pick one that’s right for you. When you want the ideal venue for your special day, do your research and find the perfect spot for your wedding!
