While we all wish that we could have our dream wedding with each season, the special time ultimately comes down to one day of the year. There are pros and cons to each season, as well as some unique, popular ideas for fall and winter weddings.
Winter.
The season of falling snow, brisk breezes, and quiet peace. Winter sometimes brings in the fairy-tale snow to help accentuate all of your wedding colors and details, and it entails pure romance: fireplaces, cozy details, dimmed lights. In addition, winter weddings tend to be slightly easier for your wallet, as this is considered ‘off-season’ for many wedding venues and designers. Quite simply, your photos will be beautiful, and your wallet will thank you for it.
However, a dreamy winter wedding can also bring a few challenges with it. These include weather issues, such as snowstorms or a harsh cold, while you are also competing with various holidays. For example, Christmas and New Year can bring a competition between your special day and other commitments for your guests. The winter season tends to be busy and a budget-crunch for many guests, so ensure that you are taking into account those special guests for your special day.
Summer.
The most popular time to host your wedding, which can bring many pros and cons. During the summer, your guestlist will be quite full, as it is often easier to travel for families, children, or college students, and there are multiple long weekends available. In addition, a summer wedding will allow a longer day for your ceremony and reception, as sunset tends to occur later in the evening. The sun might be down, however, your party and celebration does not need to end there. The weather will be warm, which can allow for more celebrations after sundown with ideas such as bonfires, sparklers, or parties through the night. In addition, your wedding meal and menu can be more diverse with fresh, ripened cheeses, fruits, and meats for an amazing feast.
However, a summer wedding can also bring challenges with it. As summer is the most popular time of the year for weddings, prices for venues and vendors can soar, while your dream location may be impossible to book. In addition, items to consider are high temperatures for you and your guest, a longer planning period in order to book your vendors, as well as more harsh lighting during your wedding photographs.
