MemberI am recently engaged. I live in Chicago and we have 4 seasons here. I wanted to know if you’d post what season you are getting married. Are “winter” weddings common?
MemberSpring! But I’m from SoCal so we really only have 2 seasons. 🙂
MemberAnother SoCal girl here… I was married June 5th, which is technically Spring.
MemberAnother SoCal girl here– lol! And I’m getting married in Spring too. 🙂
MemberFall but im in south Florida so we dont really have a Fall just a little cooler weather hopefully
MemberCongratulations! And from one four-season city girl to another… WINTER!
I don’t think winter weddings are “common” given that the two most popular weddings months are June and October, but I wouldn’t get married at any other time. Winter is off-season for the wedding world, but it’s the only time of year I ever considered.
MemberMost likely late winter, early spring 2011. Exact date TBA when we get our OK from the US Government. 🙂
MemberFrom one Chicago girl to another – I’m getting married in summer as I’m a teacher and of course have to abide by the school calendar! I’ve attended weddings as late as end of October in Chicago and as early as mid-April. I think the weather is a gamble no matter what time of year you do it but the good thing about winter is that it’s off-season for weddings so you are bound to get some good deals! 
MemberLMAO at you saying y’all have four seasons. We want to get married in winter in FL…so…yeah.LOL Not really winter.
Member2 days from Spring in Nor Cal… so technically winter… but it was 70 degrees this year on the same date, so here’s hoping for an early and warm spring!!
I have to say, it would be nice to have actual seasons. I know that sounds dumb and ignorant of the troubles a real winter, but I would love to see snow at home for just a week every year!
MemberI’m from Connecticut and I got married in Spring. I would have gotten married sooner (winter or fall – we got engaged in May and got married the April after) but then-FI was away til February and we didn’t want winter weather to complicate anyone’s travel plans. I believe my mother’s exact words were, when I was asked her about a wedding in winter: Are you crazy???
I’ve been to beautiful winter weddings and I love the look and feel of them. I loved our Spring wedding day – we lucked out with cool but very sunny and clear weather and some flowers/trees had started to bloom. I really love Fall weddings – probably my favorite and I always thought I’d be married in the fall but I wasn’t willing to wait that long! And summer wouldn’t have been a great option for us because I’m a member of the ‘heavy sweaters club’ ;0) and DH cannot handle heat at all. I can see pros/cons to all four seasons!
MemberThanks girls!! My Fiance has to attend the fire academy (3 months) next year in “summer”. Who knows what month they mean by that, so I think to play it safe we are going seriously consider mid-November next year. We don’t want to wait till Spring of 2012. We looked at a reception venue and it had a fireplace in the room, how awesome for that time of year. I can totally see the pros/cons of all seasons too, AnamCara! I love what your Mom said!! I just told my Mom about the date, luckily she was fine with it! Although I will miss the outdoor pictures and I don’t like the fact that it gets so dark early (like 5pm), I think we’ll bring out the romance in it 🙂
Thanks girls, you rock!
HostessWe’re doing Summer but I could see the attraction of Winter and could use one of my fave colours – red to it’s highest for a December wedding. But the darkness put me off. I want to be outside as much as poss and having a December birthday it feels like such a short day. So have gone for June 19th, and incidentally by birthday is Dec 19th and red will still be involved but teamed with tiffany blue.
MemberMember@Prewitt, so funny I have a June birthday and am liking the idea of a November wedding! I guess we always want what we don’t have! I, too, love the colors of the colder months. It’s super romantic. I love the thought of a fireplace roaring in our banquet venue and some spiced brandy perhaps and some warm red wine. As for colors, I am all over the place. Actually now I’m curious to know the colors people have chosen for their season wedding!!! I also am tossing thoughts around about a faux fur white shrug and maybe something “winterish” for the bridesmaids as well. (And I agree, it’s going to take some time for me to get over the fact that it will be dark early. Wish we could have October, but they are already booked and the price would be much higher). Oh, and love the Tiffany blue!!!
