First of all, congratulations on your engagement. When looking for a date, be sure to keep in mind that it takes about 3
6 months to plan the wedding. (3 if you're super efficient, and 6 if you're detail
oriented.) From there, take a look at how long you would like to be engaged. Since you just got engaged, taking into account the planning time, the earliest you can have a wedding is April. That leaves you with a 4
month engagement. (Personally speaking, too short of an engagement period, and too much pressure on the planning.)

Also, while winter is a great time to get married, but do take into consideration that it's the holidays, so loved ones may not be available to attend due to the traveling situation. And, given the type of weather we are subjected to, it may end up costing more in terms of stress. (Flowers may end up costing more because it's not in season, etc.)

If you're really at t loss, perhaps you should start by browsing some sites for ideas (this site is fantastic for creative resources). Get yourself a couple of bridal mags and a file folder, and sit down and start clipping out stuff that appeals to you. Soon you'll have an inspiration file that you can look to that will help you narrow down the type of wedding style you want, which will help you pinpoint a particular season that will mesh with your style. Whatever you do though, just make sure to keep in mind the type of feeling you want at the wedding, and keep in mind that this is a celebration of your love. If you have that as your focus, everything else will fall into place. Good luck!
