Seasonal Weddings: Four (4) Tips To Help You Decide Which Season Is Apt For You

The you one of the brides who cannot make up their minds in choosing the best time to get married? Here are four (4) tips to help you decide which season is apt for you.
 

1.       The Big Date. Setting the date is no easy task. It basically depends on your preferences. Here in the Philippines, the preferred months are June and December. Some may favor being a June bride wedded in a baroque church such as Santuario de San Antonio while others may prefer it done on a breezy December in The Glass Garden. Which month brings more significance to both of you? Select one that is hard to forget – when your paths initially crossed, when you first uttered “I love you”, when he popped up the question and offered the ring. Whichever it may be, bear in mind that this is your moment so the ultimate goal is to make it memorable and meaningful. Remember that you’ll also spend anniversaries on this very day all throughout your lives.

2.       Venue. Should it be an indoor or an outdoor event? It is advised to stay indoors during rainy days. This includes churches where the reception will be held in a hotel or indoor gardens for nature lovers out there. For dry seasons, the choices vary widely. You can have it by the beach if you love the waters, or perform it at your backyard for a more intimate gathering. You can book for a destination wedding too if you’re the adventurous type. Pick a place that fits your budget. While this is one of the most momentous moments in your life, do not forget that this is just the beginning of your journey to having your own family. Thus, do not put all your money to the celebration alone. Save something for the future.

3.       Color motif. Another consideration is the theme of your wedding. The colors may depend on which time of the year would you choose. For June to November, it’s recommended to lean over the shades of blue, blue-green, aqua, gray, pink, lavender and anything pastel. These are cool to the eyes and great reminders to enjoy the rain and cool breeze. For December to May, you can go white, yellow, orange, brown, tan and anything bright. These complement the sunny surroundings and the tones bring out a relaxing effect.

4.       Menu. The set of food you’ll serve is something you ought to consider as well. You can opt for a casual buffet on a dry month and provide light meals and refreshing drinks on a sunrise affair. Something grilled and barbequed are good options to keep the summer impression. On the contrary, hot comfort food is excellent for a wet month – soup, stew and perhaps hot chocolate with mallows to maintain a warm and cozy ambience.
