Setting that all important date

You will need to make several enquiries regarding the date of your wedding. Most importantly you should check to see that the church, registery office or reception venue that you have chosen is available on your desired day. Have a really good think about where you truly want to say your vows… and once decided book your place, as many venues fill up quickly during the popular months.

Obviously, you must take into consideration dates that your guests might not be free around. Steer clear from major holidays, such as new years and Christmas. Once decided on a date, be sure to inform guests living further afield first as they will need to organise travel arrangements in advance.

Traditionally, most weddings are held on a Saturday in the summer. However, times change and Sunday winter weddings are becoming increasingly popular. Couples regularly correspond the month that they choose their wedding to be in, with the colour themes and styles for the day … Spring celebrations hosting lots of fresh flowers, pinks and greens; and the autumn side being more burgundy and rich with colour.  The month that you decide really does make a big difference to your day.

Also, couples on a smaller budget should take into consideration the fact that if they choose not to host the event on a Saturday, many transport companies, photographers and hotels will offer discount rates and wedding packages.
