A
Wedding For All Seasons
by: Declan Tobin
In times gone by it wasn't uncommon for young couples to consult
the Tarot as to what month of the year according to the stars
would be their best time to wed, this would depend on what time
of year their sun or moon sign was inline with Venus the goddess
of love, which I would take as a positive sign, and so on. Personally
I would like to think that the longevity of a marriage would depend
on the love of you and your partner and not on the date you get
married.
These days the factors that make us decide differ a little. Each
season brings its own style and flavor to a wedding. The time
of year you choose to get married will indeed affect the style
and economics of the wedding in many ways including location of
the reception, honeymoon destinations, wedding theme and price.
Whatever type of wedding you desire there will be a season to
suit you.
An autumn wedding brings to mind golden and copper themes through
the fabrics and the flowers. Flowers this season are earthy yet
rich. Take bold colors in purples russets, yellow and reds. Add
a natural twist with dark leafy foliages and wood containers.
If you choose flowers that are in season this will bring down
the cost a little.
Seasonal fruits that you can include on the menu are Apples and
Pears; these are in season all year round. All these factors combined
will bring a nice autumn breeze to the day. Bear in mind that
August is quite popular for weddings, if you are having the reception
in a hotel book well in advance. The weather is also superb if
you are thinking of honeymooning in Europe. Stay clear of south
East Asia though as these are experiencing their monsoon seasons.
The winter wonderland wedding, a very romantic setting of Burning
log fires, mulled wine receptions and Christmas card settings.
This would defiantly be an indoor wedding, maybe in a castle or
Hotel adorned with rich reds and golden glowing candles.
A December wedding is a good idea as the wedding reception price
is dropped in many hotels in the first few days after Christmas.
The holiday spirit that is still lingering at this time will add
to the atmosphere. Snowdrops, Tulips, Amaryllis, and White geisha
include some of the winter blooms. Seasonal fruits to be enjoyed
include winterberries, Apricots, Cherries and dates.
A New Years Eve wedding can be a good idea, ringing in the New
Year with a festive and fun time for all involved. Honeymoon destinations
for the winter months vary, you can opt for a skiing holiday with
a romantic log cabin accommodation or maybe head for the sun kissed
beached of Thailand. Keeping in mind flights are usually scarce
and pricey around Christmas so book your honeymoon well in advance.
Spring / Summer sun will provide for beautiful garden weddings
adorned with all of mother natures glory, a fabulous season for
a wedding. The colors and flowers to choose from are in abundance
from roses to the petals of the cherry blossom, the look of this
season is relaxed and simple taking bold flowers and strong colors
softening them with driftwood or delicate wisps of grass and raffia.
Some of the fruits in season are Peaches, passion fruit, and Citrus
fruits, and Quinces.
Freshly picked chocolate dipped strawberries would go down well
with a champagne reception. A marquee would be a wonderful idea
for this season allowing everyone to soak up the atmosphere, remember
to include catering and furniture hire as part of the costs if
you are watching the budget. The world is your oyster as far as
honeymoons go but remember our summer is winter in most of the
southern hemisphere including Australia.
Whatever your plans don't stress yourself and take as much help
from friends and family to make the big day one to remember for
all. Booking your honeymoon online including accommodation and
avoiding travel agents can save time and money.
