Parsimony Inspired

Pros and Cons to Each Season

23 Mar

One of the most important parts of planning your wedding is of course setting a date! Do you want to get married surrounded by a soft sheet of snow, or maybe sinking your toes in the sand on the beach? Whichever season you’re leaning towards to celebrate your big day, be sure to know some pros and cons of each.


Winter

Pros

Romantic

There’s nothing more romantic than a cozy atmosphere surrounded by a fresh sheet of snow, a fireplace, and your loved ones in the winter months!

Discounts

Since winter is considered the slow season for weddings, you have a better chance of finding discounts on venues!

Comfort Foods

You get to have all the fun in creating your menu filled with comfort foods to keep your guests toasty warm!

Cons

Weather

With winter comes snow, and unpredictable snow storms could prevent guests from being able to attend.

Holidays

People are saving money for the countless winter holidays, such as Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, and Valentine’s Day.


Spring

Pros

Natural Beauty

Flowers are blooming, trees are slowing getting back their greenery. Have fun matching your wedding colors with the natural colors of spring surrounding you!

Weather Warming Up

Everyone loves when the weather starts to warm up, especially after a chilly winter season! It’s a great time to have an outdoor ceremony where guests won’t be too hot or too cold!

Cons

Peak Wedding Season

Spring time is a very popular season to get married. Venues may be booked, and it is hard to compete with others for that prime wedding date!

Allergies

Spring is the peak season for allergies, which means itchy eyes and runny noses!

Rainy Season

If you decided upon an outdoor wedding, keep in mind that April showers bring May flowers… and could potentially wash out your venue.


Summer

Pros

Outdoor Wedding

Long days, longer sunlight, and warm nights call for great outdoor weddings for you and your guests to enjoy!

Endless Themes

Garden theme, rustic theme, beach theme, you name it, you got it! Aside from a wintery wedding, the themes that you can pull off are endless!

Cons

Heat

Although we can’t wait for the warm weather to arrive, there’s always the risk of getting married on the same day the weather is in the 90s. Be prepared to offer some shade for your guests!

Vacation Season

Another risk is having your wedding weekend land right in the middle of someone else’s vacation week. Summer is a very popular time for families to take vacations!


Fall

Pros

Reliable Weather

Just like spring, the weather is not too hot and not too cold!

Foliage

Use nature to your advantage with decorations! Fall is the perfect season to save money in the decoration department since the foliage is as beautiful as it comes!

Cons

Tight Finances

People are starting to save money for the upcoming holidays in the winter season, which means they are more likely to have a tight budget (and you also might be tight on your budget for the same reason)!
