Are you recently engaged? Trying to decide which season is ideal for your wedding day? Here’s our list of the seven fabulous things about summer weddings.
1. There’s Less Competition
As everyone knows, spring is a very popular season for weddings. By waiting just a month or two longer, you’ll have the advantage of less competition for prime venues like Nanina’s in the Park. You’ll also have fewer other couples trying to score the same DJs, bands, caterers, and florists.
2. You Don’t Have to Bundle Up
As gorgeous as winter weddings can be, summer wedding are perfect for wearing those lovely sleeveless wedding dresses with gorgeous necklines or plunging backs. You can show off your beauty without shivering through the ceremony and the reception.
3. You Can Get a Natural Tan
Fall and winter are just not conducive to natural tanning; but if you’re having a summer wedding, you can use those lovely spring months to enjoy the sunshine and work on that natural tan. A light, sun-kissed look will help you glow even more on the big day.
4. The Weather is Better
Summer weather is notoriously warm and sunny, whereas spring, fall, and winter carry a greater chance of rain showers, sleet, wind, or even snow. Summertime gives you the best shot at perfect weather for an outdoor wedding. It could still rain on your big day, but it’s less likely.
5. The Light Stays Longer
Do you want to dance and party late into the evening on the day of your wedding? During the summer, the light lasts much longer. You’ll have hours upon hours of beautiful natural light, streaming through the windows of an indoor venue or flooding the lawns and gardens of an outdoor venue. Your pictures will look amazing, and your guests will stick around longer to have fun.
6. You’ll Have More Seasonal Food Options
During the summer, your caterer will have a much broader variety of local produce from which to create your wedding menu. If it’s important to you to use locally grown fruits and vegetables, as well as locally pastured meats, then summertime is the prime time to get the greatest variety.
7. More Flowers Will Be in Bloom
Summertime is rich with in-season blooms of all kinds. When you decide on your bouquets and arrangements, you’ll have a wealth of luxurious flowers in all shapes and colors from which to choose; and they may be cheaper if you select local, seasonal varieties.
Every wedding season has its delights and benefits; but if warmth, sunshine, variety, and color are important to you, summer weddings may be the perfect fit.
