    Things to consider when choosing your wedding date

    By admin | Wedding Planning | Comments are Closed | 26 August, 2019 | 0

    Firstly, Congratulations on the engagement! Now the fun (and often stressful) time of planning your wedding begins.

    As a couple you need to decide on when you want to get married.
    Have you always dreamed of a short thin dress, barefoot on the beach? or a warm full dress surrounded by snow?
    Decide on a season, then a month and finally a date
    BUT
    if possible select 2 or 3 dates at the start so you have some flexibility when it comes to your dream venue, photographer etc.

    Remember most wedding vendors take bookings a year in advance so if you can plan that far ahead, or further, you’ve got more chance of getting that certain Venue, DJ, Photographer.

    So now you’ve picked a few dates that you love over a year in advance. You need to think about those dates:

    State/National Holiday Weekends
    A quick google search will let you know all these dates for your chosen year.
    Having a wedding on a long weekend can have positive and negatives so you need to decide if the long weekend is important enough to not have your wedding or not.
    Positives – You can get an extra day to celebrate (or recover), you could possibly have your wedding on the Sunday which is usually cheaper than Saturdays.
    Negatives – Accommodation may be more costly or need to be booked very early, florals may cost more (esp Roses if you want Valentines day).
    Don’t forget to include weekday into this – things like ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day

    Major Sporting Events
    Again a quick google search will assist or give those sport hungry family members a call.
    The last thing you want during your wedding reception is a grooms man who is a major car racing fan ducking out or sitting at the table watching the Bathurst 1000 on his phone because he can’t miss the race!
    Missing a mid season footy game is easier than missing the grand finals

    Personally Important
    Check your calendar, are any of the dates already your close family/friends anniversaries? Are they the date your local community celebrates anything, meaning many family/friends will need to give up a major event to attend?

    Unlucky Dates
    If you’re superstitious, you might want to watch out for these historically inauspicious dates.
    The Ides of March
    Friday 13th
    Leap Years
