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. June is one of the most popular wedding months as it marks the dawn of summer. Our Serotonin levels are higher from the warmth we feel on our skin. Also, as a bride, you won’t have to worry about been cold in that sexy slim-fitting dress.
June is one of those wedding months that every bride wants, so it is incredibly hard to book. If you are lucky enough to book a date in June, you are probably going to be paying a pretty penny.
When I think about the month of July, happiness fills up inside of me and flows through my veins. The coming of July marks the beginning of summer. Days become longer and we are more relaxed. We want to enjoy ourselves and make memories – what a perfect time of year to get married!
Again, July is THE MOST POPULAR of wedding months. Therefore, this month is expensive but totally worth it. Your day will be so much better as you will be able to feel that warmth on your skin as you stand outside your magnificent venue and pose for your wedding photographs. If you want to get married in July and you know where you want to get married…book it! DON’T HESITATE!
September is one of those months where everything settles down. The weather is gradually becoming cooler, trees are shedding their leaves and kids are returning to school. When I think of this month, I feel a sense of calm, of serenity.
September is one of those wedding months which is considered to be available, to be less popular – this assumption is wrong. September is an incredibly popular month for most venues, so if you are considering booking your big day in September, do it quick as this month gets booked up quickly!
October is perfect for a grand indoor wedding. This month brings the dawn of autumn and with it a whole lot of picturesque scenery. Dying leaves are shredded, they are scattered across the ground – creating a beautiful array of yellow, orange and brown. October is one of those truly beautiful wedding months, if you get married at this time of year, your photographs are guaranteed to be amazing.
Believe it or not, this month is incredibly popular and because of this, really expensive. If you want to get married in October don’t waste your time, go ahead and secure your date!
