Wedding season will be starting soon in the UK as we welcome lighter days, warmer weather and gorgeous spring blooms, however not everyone favours a spring wedding. But, we’re here to give you a couple of reasons why spring weddings are actually totally under-rated and could be more fun than a summer wedding!
Seasonal Florals
It’s no secret that many flowers bloom in spring, so just think of the gorgeous wedding bouquets and table centrepieces you could create using seasonal florals. Popular spring wedding flowers include tulips, sweet peas, hyacinths, freesias, lily of the valley and of course hydrangeas. These stunning flowers come in many shapes, sizes and colours which can create beautiful textured wedding bouquets and wedding florals.
Lower Competition
Whilst spring is a popular time for wedding couples to tie the knot, it is not quite as popular as summer, which means a number of factors play into your favour.
The first is that there is less competition for your preferred date. If you’re choosing to get married in March or April, there is a high chance that you will be able to book your chosen date as the number of couples looking to get married at the same time is far less. If you’re planning for a May wedding, we would advise booking further in advance as this month tends to be the most popular spring month especially as there are two bank holiday weekends.
The second is that due to less competition, there is less demand which means prices are not as high as summer months. Again, May is an exception to this due to its popularity, but March and April are definitely months worth considering if you are looking for slightly warmer weather at a more cost-effective price.
Holidays
Anyone with a July or August birthday will tell you, don’t have a wedding in the summer holidays. We’re going to caveat that with, if you send out your save the dates and / or wedding invitations with enough notice, go for it and have the summer wedding of your dreams. But, if you’re looking to do anything last minute, (in the year for the year) expect some of your guests to be on holiday.
In comparison, whilst the Easter holidays do take place in spring, this holiday is only two weeks long, plus less people tend to go abroad in this break compared to the summer holidays. Again, there is still a chance that a number of your guests could be on holiday, but it’s far less likely than a summer wedding.
