Setting a date for the big day is an important decision. You want all your closest family and friends to be there to share in your happiness, but how can you begin to think about setting a date when you haven’t yet chosen a season? You can create equally wonderful, yet wildly different weddings depending on the time of year you choose to get married. A winter Devon wedding can be a lavish yet snug affair, with roaring fires, mulled wine and horse-drawn sleigh, while a spring or summer wedding provides a completely different kind of magic.
Of course the decent weather is a huge benefit of summer nuptials. Waking up on the morning of your wedding to clear blue skies is the dream of any bride and groom and there is a far greater chance of beautiful weather on your big day if you opt for a summer wedding.
Clear weather also gives you more options in terms of venues, with many weddings and receptions taking place in marquees set in beautiful grounds or countryside. This allows the bride and groom to be creative and decorate the blank canvas of a marquee with their own personal touch. Picnics, games and dancing all work superbly outside and the photographs always look fantastic. Large open spaces at weddings can also prove to be a godsend if there are lots of restless, energetic small children with energy to spare!
If you’re planning on staying traditional and having your honeymoon after the big day, a summer wedding gives you more options for a trip slightly closer to home. Honeymooning around the UK or Europe, rather than having to follow the winter sun to a long-haul destination, can be spectacular and also far less expensive. A warm summer day also means that the bride is free to choose her dress without having to consider the possibility of cold temperatures and gusting winds.
A summer wedding can be truly enchanting, with clear blue skies setting you off on your wonderful and exciting adventure as husband and wife.
