September: The New Most Popular Wedding Month

As a Bride & Groom, it's understandable that you want to pick the perfect wedding date. Every couple has a preference as to when their special day will take place for a variety of reasons. Those reasons have made June the most popular wedding month; a title it's held for who knows how long - maybe ever? It's no secret that summer time screams wedding season and June being at the end of Spring and beginning of Summer would hopefully give you perfect weather on your wedding day.


The past few years weather patterns have been shifting. Everyone knows about global climate change and how we need to help our planet to really help ourselves. Since weather has a huge impact on our wedding days we of course really know the ideal months to have a wedding. Are you ready for this? The best month to have a wedding is September, NOT June. It seems unlikely because college students and kids go back to school, people are snapping out of vacation mode and it's a busy time of year all around. The weather though, is pretty unbeatable. The last couple of years we've noticed that June has been one of the most unpredictable when it comes to weather. We've had years where Spring started late and there was a high chance of rain - making us use the backup indoor plan for ceremony and pictures. We've also had some years where there was barely a Spring and June felt like it was August with heavy heat and humidity. The heat makes picture taking quite the challenge. Between getting everyone waters (we lug around a cooler on those days), dabbing the sweat off a Bride's face in between pictures, and literally going under her heavy dress with a paper fan to try to cool her off - it's not a pleasant experience for anyone. With September you kind of get the best of both worlds between Summer and Fall. Think of it as an Indian Summer, if you will. The sun is still shining and it's still hot but with a the slightest crisp feeling in the air - in other words JUST PERFECT. If you're lucky you may even start seeing some colorful foliage in late September which makes for breathtaking photos.

One last point on why you should get married in September: You get to honeymoon during non-peak travel months! June-August is always a heavy travel season since that is when most families vacation. So add on the surcharges for flights, hotels, etc and the inconveniences of crowded flights, long airport lines, and crowded resorts full of screaming kids. Who wants to go on their honeymoon to a tropical island when it's in high demand? Isn't the point to relax after all that stressful wedding planning?
