Planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful. Catering for groups of people, choosing that sexy yet elegant wedding dress and selecting the perfect venue are just some of the elements which go into planning your big day. Recently, my boyfriend proposed, and I said yes – of course! From my
experience as a bride-to-be so far, I have discovered that before you even begin looking at that perfect dress or the cake you envision cutting through – you need to set a date!
The time of year you choose to get married is incredibly important. The chosen day and month can have a massive impact on costs. You may look to hire a venue on a Saturday in May and the price may be extortionate. Yet, by selecting a Saturday in February – you could save yourself thousands.
I have picked out the top 5 most popular wedding months which I have found to be incredibly costly and overpriced. Though, if you can afford these months, your special day will be beautiful no doubt.
The coming of May brings with it the emergence of spring, of new beginnings and true beauty. The trees are becoming fuller and flowers are blossoming. The weather settled and the spring sun is more visible. If you choose May to get married, your wedding photographs will probably be even more beautiful.
This month also gives you more options when it comes to your wedding venue and catering. Having your ceremony outside, in the beautiful spring sun, becomes more of a possibility. In the evening, have a BBQ or have your wedding reception is a marquee. Either way, if you are looking to get married in May – book ASAP as this is one of the most popular wedding months.
In the month of June, the beautiful cherry blossom trees are already fully formed. Warm weather is more likely. People are happier.
