A Wedding For All Seasons

By Diana Carver

In times gone by it was not unusual for young mates to consult the Tarot Card as to what calendar month of the year accordant to the stars would be their best time to wed, this would count on what time of year their sun or moon sign was inline with Venus the goddess of love, which I would take as a optimistic sign, & so on. In Person I would like to think that the length of service of a marriage would depend on the love of you and your partner & not on the date you get married.

These days the reasons that make us decide differ a little. Each season brings its own style & flavor to a wedding. The time of year you prefer to get wed will indeed affect the style and economics of the wedding in many ways including location of the reception, honeymoon destinations, marriage theme and cost. Whatever kind of wedding you desire there will be a season to suit you.

An autumn wedding brings to mind golden & copper themes through the cloths & the flowers. Blossoms this season are natural yet rich. Take bold colors in purples russets, yellow & reds. Add a earthy turn with dark leafy foliages & wood containers. If you select blossoms that are in season this will bring down the price 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 good autumn breeze to the day. Bear in mind that August is quite common 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 having 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 & golden burning candles.

A December marriage is a good idea as the wedding reception cost is dribbled in many hotels in the first few days after Christmas. The holiday spirit that is still hovering at this time will add to the atmosphere. Snowdrops, Tulips, Amaryllis, and White geisha include some of the winter blossoms. Seasonal fruits to be enjoyed include winterberries, Apricots, Cherries & dates.

A New Years Eve marriage can be a good thought, ringing in the New Year with a festive and fun time for all required. Honeymoon destinations for the winter months deviate, 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 commonly rare & expensive around Christmas so book your honeymoon well in advance.

Spring / Summer sun will provide for enjoyable garden weddings decorated with all of mother natures glory, a fabulous season for a wedding. The colors & 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 & 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.

Impudently picked chocolate dipped strawberries would go down well with a champagne reception. A marquee would be a great idea for this season allowing everyone to soak up the atmosphere, remember to include catering & furniture hire as part of the costs if you are viewing 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 do not 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 & avoiding travel agents can save time and money. - 30299
