When Should We Set the Wedding Date? One of the top 5 questions a Bride-to-Be asks themselves after the proposal
Your engagement is a whirlwind of excitement, and one of the first decisions you'll make is setting your wedding date. This milestone decision serves as the cornerstone of your wedding planning journey and affects everything from venue availability to guest invitations.
When selecting the perfect date, start with these considerations:
Seasonal Preferences
Do you dream of a spring garden wedding, a cosy winter ceremony, or a sunny summer celebration? Seasons play a huge role in shaping the vibe, logistics, and even the little details of a wedding day.
Venue Availability
Some venues are at their peak in specific seasons—for example, a garden venue might look its best in spring or summer. Plus, popular dates in certain seasons (like June or December) can book up faster. Something to think about.
Special Meaning
Choosing a wedding date with special meaning can add an extra layer of sentiment and personal connection to your big day. Think about the dates that mark important moments in your relationship. It could be the anniversary of your first date, the day you got engaged, or even the day you said “I love you” for the first time. Tying your wedding date to these moments creates a full-circle celebration of your journey together.
Honeymoon Timing: If you're planning to jet off on a honeymoon right after the wedding, think about how the wedding date aligns with your ideal travel season for the destination you're dreaming of. Your wedding date may coincide with the best or worst time to visit your dream honeymoon destination. For example, a wedding in June might align perfectly with the sunny beaches of Greece but could clash with the rainy season in tropical locations like Bali. Research the weather and peak travel seasons for your chosen spot to make the most of your trip.
