    What season speaks to you? Most of you dolls probably planned your wedding for the season that truly makes you go "Awww yeah baby! Bring on the wedding porn!", but for girls like me in the very beginning stages of planning, all of the stylish elements of each season is overwhelming and confusing. I love the coziness of a winter wedding (candlelight, cableknit, hot chocolate), but I love the freshness of a summer wedding (happy colors, sunshine, linen, ripe berries)!! And with every new Martha Weddings issue, I suddenly am re-inspired and am set to scrap my attraction to the previous season. What season do you love, which one did you pick for your wedding, and do you ever feel like you a diabetic in a candy shop when confronted with hot sexy wedding ideas that are not for your season?

    First choice: Autumn

    Second choice: Spring

     

    I don't think I'd even consider a summer or winter wedding...the way things are going, just because I haven't really made any decisions yet and time is ticking, I think we will have an autumm wedding :)

    We got requests for March, it gave me a year to plan, so we went with it.  I would love a fall wedding too though.

    i am not engaged yet, but yes i love the cozy romanticness of a winter wedding and the crisp excitement of an autumn wedding and i love all things summer but it's too hot here... and spring i only imagine allergies oddly enough so i doubt if that's the one for me...

    I am super excited about having a spring wedding, but there are definitely elements from fall weddings that I really love too!

    I have always dreamed of a fall wedding. It is my favorite time of year and it would just be so special to me. But, circumstances are conspiring against me on this one and now I'm starting to think a winter wedding might be really nice. Especially if it snowed!

    Spring, hands down! I simply cannot fathom getting married at another time. The symbolism of new life, the freshness of the world, the feeling of renewal...there's just no better time for a wedding in my book!

    Winter, for sure! But we're ignoring the conventions of what you'd expect for a winter wedding - we're going with bright yellow! :-)

    I wanted a Spring wedding (lavender and green) but I ended up with a late summer, early fall wedding. I was outvoted by Hottie Hubby and family.

    first choice: fall.  second choice: winter.  i got my second choice, but i'm kind of falling in love with it :)

    i could never be a spring/summer bride.  everything about fall/winter just speaks to me...warm and cozy indoors, fireplaces, awesome food, family, holidays, etc.  it feels more glamorous to me, and it allows me to wear a heavier dress :)

    that's not to say that spring/summer weddings aren't amazing!! i love them too!

    Totally spring!  It's the perfect season for bright flowers, tropical vacations, and outdoor picnic ceremonies.  Plus spring has the whole metaphorical "new beginnings", "rebirth", "new life" gives such a great meaning to weddings.  A little cliche, but honestly it's perfect for me.

    Gosh, this is tough one for me to answer.   On the one hand I love the rich hues and crisp air of an autumn wedding, but on the other hand, I've kind of always wanted a beach wedding.

     

    I wonder if anyone's ever successfully pulled off a "wedding for all seasons"?

    Like, the ceremony is spring-themed, maybe cocktail hour is summer themed, dinner reception is autumn themed and then there's an "afterparty" that's winter themed.

    You'd have to have one HECK of a venue (and budget) to pull that off but if it was done well it would be AMAZING!!!!

    If I could get married outdoors on a sunny summer afternoon, I would be thrilled. But since I'm Allergy Girl and he's Dehydration Boy (he doesn't have a colon anymore), it's a no go.

    Plus, our early spring wedding is on our four-year anniversary. :)

    Hahaha, yeah, like a lot of you girls, allergies certainly play into why I'm not throwing a Spring bash. All of my friends and family have horrible allergies (except me!). I COULD be super selfish and have the Spring wedding I dreamt of in my childhood (which centered around a May Pole and ponies. SWEET!), but I'd probably be the only one sober at my wedding then. Everyone else would be drugged out on allergy medication.Tongue out

    We're having a summer wedding, but I long for a fall wedding!

    We live in different countries so we wanted to end our long distance relationship ASAP... and summer worked best for everyone to travel :)

    Beautiful snowy WHITE WEDDING! I would LOVE A WINTER wedding, but things dont always work out the way you want and it is easier for us to do it in July, so I am having a summer wedding! LOL

    Winter. Both of us love Christmas so it seems natural to pick a date close to then. 

    Fall is also beautiful as a second choice. Spring is allergy season so that won't work and summer is too hot.

    I had a summer wedding but if I had to pick another season it would be winter. The thought of a white winter using all white with hints of black is so appealing to me.

    I'd love a fall wedding, followed by a winter wedding... but we'll probably end up with a late summer, dead heat, pass-the-iced-tea wedding instead.

    Ahhh first choice definitely winter...

    But so many people hate the snow and cold, so I supposed to be accomodating, second choice is fall.

    Is it better to be accomodating to guests, or really go for what you want?? :-/

    honestly, i think a winter wedding would be gorgeous and cozy, but i would be worried that the weather would prevent folks from attending. it's not unusual for a lot of snow and ice in the adirondacks!

    We're having a June wedding, but tbh, I wish it were more in the spring, at least for weather stuff. June in GA can be pretty miserable.

    Hi. I chose my wedding to be in the Summer time. I love the sun on my face , being tan ( I really look amazing tan lol ) & the way everything looks and feels in the summer time. Sometimes I look at wedding magazines and am like wow that fall wedding was gorgeous or wow that winter wedding was beautiful. & I start to think maybe I should not do summer and do another season. Hang in there hun, I know sometimes every season may look pretty but stick with what you chose. You must of chose that seaon for a reason right? Goodluck with everything & I hope your wedding is amazing. (:

    I always wanted a fall wedding, but it's not logistically possible (I teach) so we're next July. I knew that fall wasn't going to happen when I chose this career, so it wasn't a real heart-breaker, but I love that we did our e-pics in the fall!  And, to be fair, I'm falling in love with all sorts of summery details now that we're set.

    Like ebs, I really wanted fall, but it wasn't going to work for us. So we're also doing July instead of October!

    I always loved the idea of an autumn wedding (my favorite time of year), but we ended up with a spring wedding ... in the southern hemisphere. It worked out pretty well. We caught everyone pre-holiday season and we'll get autumn anniversaries in the future when we're up north!

    I always wanted a fall wedding...however, my fiance loves the winter time. So we decided to have it in the winter (Jan 22, 2011). I hope it doesn't snow or ice because we are rejecting our original plan to have a small wedding and we are having a big wedding with all of our families and if people play that I'm snowed in mess, I am going to be so pissed.

    This is so hard to answer! We're getting married in September, but that's because that's when we met and we're sentimental about it. Hmmm...if I had to list them in the order I dream of (if I could have 4 weddings!) it might be:

    1- Fall; jewel tones, harvest themes, pumpkins... *swoon*

    2- winter; thick sweaters, skies, wool/fur coats and mufflers, hot cocoa, white, silver, and icy blue... *sigh*

    3- summer; warmth, beaches, sun, flowers, and everything nice. Fab!

    4- spring; muddy, rainy AND snowy AND unpredictable, pastels, Spring Flowers!.

    Like TrailMix, it was never ever a question for us.  I LOVE summer.  My birthday is in the summer, my sister's birthday is in the summer, and my parents' anniversary is in the summer, just a couple of weeks after our wedding date.  Also, summer is an amazingly beautiful time to be on the Maine coast.

    I had always thought I wanted a fall wedding.  But due to logistics, etc. spring worked better for us...  That said, I am now completely in love with the notion of a spring wedding and so happy with the timing of everything!
