What season would you choose (or have already chosen) to be the best for your wedding?
Why have you chosen that season or month?
Summer is my favorite time of the year! Plus I wanted an outdoor ceremony, and for people to be able to enjoy the weather. Not to mention great outdoor pictures! Plus, some of my bridesmaids are in high school, college, graduate school, law school, etc. My date ensures that everyone will be out of school and free to have a great time!
I think the fall is a perfect time. You tend to have better luck with weather, esp. in PA. We ended up choosing September 5 which is late summer leading into fall. It has been seriously hot here (90's) but they say next week should be in the 70's... PERFECT!
Fall for sure. I would love to be having ours in Sept or October. Up here, those are practically the only months during the entire year that weather is almost guaranteed to be nice. Every other season is kind of a nightmare :)
i voted spring or fall because of the mild temperatures of both (i'm not engaged) but i would probably do a fall or winter wedding because that's my favorite time of the year.
i picked spring because the weather won't be too hot, and the tulips will be out in full force :)
We got married in the mountains, so there's a small window of opportunity when you can get married outside without snow! That really narrowed down our choices. I love snow, but we wanted everything to be as bright and green and non-rainy as possible, so the middle of summer in July it was! We had amazing weather (high of 75 and sunny)...although apparently last year it snowed at our location on the Fourth of July, so we were never really "safe" from the snow!! Secretly I was kind of hoping it would snow at our weddding...b/c how cool would that be?!
I kinda cheated! I picked both Spring and Fall. Planning for Connecticut weather is a gamble at the best of times but Spring and Fall offer a slightly better chance of moderate temperatures and hopefully a lower risk of rain/snow/hail. I picked April for our date because I didn't want to wait until the Fall but I don't think I would have chanced Winter or Summer - travel can be risky in winter weather and we'll have lots of out-of-towners and extreme summer heat would not make me happy. I am hoping there's nothing extreme about our April date - I am okay with a little sun, a little rain, a little warm, a little cold. How soon is too soon to check the Farmer's Almanac!!???
And color wise I love lots of color schemes so I wouldn't feel too limited by season - there are so many gorgeous ideas out there for every time of year.
Summer! I dream of beaches, refreshing beer and iced tea, clambakes, and fireworks. But I don't think the Army will let us wait until next Summer (fingers crossed that they do!). Looks like it will end up being sometime between Winter and Spring.
I'd love to have a summer/late-summer wedding but not sure yet. I'm still one of those that are waiting!
i wanted spring, but we're getting married in feb. in florida it doesn't really matter, we don't have very many seasons.
I wanted a winter wedding so bad (looove long sleeve dresses), but the Chicago weather would have made it very likely that most of guests wouldn't be able to make it, so now we've got Spring/Early Summer. Not a bad runner-up, though.
I'm getting married in spring, but I would be happy with either spring or fall. I love the flower options in spring, but fall has those vibrant colors and more dependable weather where I am. Although my inspiration board is apparently very wintry (I just posted a thread about it), so maybe I love winter and don't even know it! 
I love winter and I wanted an outdoor winter wedding if I had endless funds in order to rent heated everything so guests would be cozy. I always wanted to get married outside in the snow with a big furry shawl and a muff and a really cute furry hat.
We picked fall, my mom begged me not to do it in the heat of summer or the potential bad weather of winter. I like fall too, it's so pretty and nice and crisp!
I voted fall even though I'm getting married in the spring. Fall is still my favorite season, it just wasn't convenient to plan a wedding for fall :) I'm happy with spring, though!
We chose fall because we both love everything associated with it:
The fall crisp-air smell
The rich warm tones
Apple cider!
Cinnamon donuts!
Apple pie and spiced bread
Apple picking
The feeling of being on the brink of the holiday season
Those first few nights when you need to put an extra blanket on the bed
Just love it!
You couldn't have a fall wedding here in Gainesville! Saturdays in fall are for college football. My FI works with athletics so we couldn't have a spring wedding (we're doing late may) but if I had my choice I'd pick spring :)
Fall (October). We love the weather and foliage in New England in the fall....and FI would be too hot/sweaty for a summer wedding.
ideally late summer / early fall - when it's still warm but the humidity is gone. spring is gorgeous with all the flowers too but ny tends to have aborted springs - you get one spring day before summer heat and humidity sets in.. so we settled for late summer / early fall.
I wanted fall but one of my best friends snatched up my preferred date (b*tch - j/k i love her) so I opted for late summer instead.
Fall. Everything in WI is beautiful in fall(late Sept,early Oct). The weather is usually most consistant..and the leaves are turning colors...plus the temp is usually in the 70's or 60's(at night in the 50's).
i wasn't sure how to answer this, because in my situation I have two answers. The answer to your post title's question, "When is your ideal wedding season?" is Fall! I've always wanted to get married in the fall.
However, the month we chose was June, because my husband is in grad school, and our marriage involved my moving 2200 miles. We needed to get married in Summer, preferrably early summer to be moved and settled by the time he started classes again.
Now having been married for two months, I can't imagine if we would have waited until September or October!
Because of the timing of other things in my life that I can't control, we chose a spring wedding. It's the vernal equinox, so it's pretty cool, but if I had total control of all parts of my life, we'd have a summer wedding. I love the summer!
Were I to do it over again, I would have done it in May. It was *really* hot in Tahoe in July, and I'm not so much of a heat person. It all turned out ok, but I think I drank gallons of water to replenish all that I lost in sweat...
Well actually I'm a fall lover, but like some of the other bees said, we chose to have the wedding in June, because I plan on going to nursing school in August, so...although I would have loved my Nov. wedding, I'll take on June, I'm sure it'll be just as beautiful; hotter, but beautiful!!!
Summer! I want hot, sunny weather. I really wanted to get married in August but FI and family wanted September. I got out voted.
We chose spring because we wanted seasonal flowers, and to have our wedding outdoors, and we thought May would be a good combination of warm but not too rainy (fingers crossed)! I figured summer would be too hot around here, but I think if I had to choose a second season, it would definitely be fall - love the leaves changing colors!
I've always wanted a winter wedding, but didn't want to wait another 3-4 months! *lol* So we chose fall... it won't be hot, it gave us (and our family who are travelling) enough time to plan. And up here, the colours are beautiful that time of year!
We're late spring... hopefully we'll avoid the super hot temps more typical of July and August here, and get some sunny blue skies with more tolerable temps!
I pick summer b/c I love summer but also love late fall and late spring too! Then again I did go to a lovely snowy wedding too...
But my pick is because of a practical reason. I have to do the logical move b/c I'm a mom. We have to find out when it's best to move (moving to T's house) and uprooting my son at the end of his school year and moving him to another school would not be kind of me to do. We want to move leisurely and settle in and take change one day at a time. So summer has to be when we do it!
And it helps I'm a lover of a darn good beach wedding also!
I voted for Spring. We are in Arizona and it really is the one time of year when the weather is perfect (right about 75-85)! Fall is beautiful too but the end of August and September brings monsoons. Spring was ideal for our outdoor celebration!
I live in FL so summer was out for me, since I wanted to be outdoors and NOT melt! =) Anyway, fall has always been my favorite season, and it worked out that more people would be able to make it that time of year..
I am in love with the ring of my wedding date: October 24th ... it's just magical sounding to me.
I love to spend the hot long days of summer in the sun... by the time fall comes, I'm feeling so refreshed and I've had time to undergo treatments and take care of my skin which was obviously tanned and weathered ... it is before the ice cold winter months which I like to hibernate and turn pale from ... no sun =) and of course I lose my vibrant glow of the summer. =) Fall is perfect.
Late spring/Early summer. But of course it depends on where you are located. We got married in Northern California at the end of June. It was perfect!
The biggest draw for a winter wedding for me is the honeymoon! Why go on a fancy-schmancy vacation in the middle of summer? We get like 4 nice months of weather here - so there is plenty of other vacation-appropraite time to choose from. Also, snow is gorgeous. (Although, I'm planning for rain and trying not to get my heart set on snow for my date).
@MsHymanRoth - my bday's October 24th. I like that you find it magical. Haha.
Winter! I always loved fall but it wasn't practical for us. Now I am really excited by the coziness and romance of a winter wedding. I also like that is different and a time of year when people are not going to weddings every other weekend.
We chose spring (May)--it wasn't too cold or snowy (winter), it wasn't too hot and humid (summer) and there was no college football (fall). :)
