There are only a few days that can influence your life in an enormous way, and your wedding date is definitely one of such dates. It is a day that is labeled in red in your calendars and will be rejoiced and celebrated with champagne and flowers for many years. This is the day you will be sharing with family and friends and retelling the narrative behind it for a long time. So it is only expected that once that all-important question is asked, the next step for you and your partner will be to decide on that perfect date. Choosing the perfect date is not something to be taken lightly. For a date to be perfect for a wedding, it also has to be a date that is fun to memorize and sounds and looks perfect on record! People like to consider several different constituents when they decide on a date. Some like their wedding date to fall on a holiday, while others explicitly do not; some like it to be astrologically and celestially aligned, palindrome-aesthetic, and some like their wedding day to be a lucky one, and want lady luck on their side as they say the vows. Some of the common deciding factors in picking the right wedding date are:
The season of choice: While choosing that perfect wedding date, the first step lies in finding the ideal season for you to host your wedding in. This will surely help you narrow down your search to a selected number of months in the calendar. Do you have always wanted a beach wedding, summer might be your month, but if a white wedding with freshly snowed landscapes outside is more your style, winter might be more your fit. Try to match the vision of your perfect wedding to the season of the year, and you will be one step closer to finding the perfect date. The fall season tends to be one of the rave favorite seasons when it comes to a wedding date, followed closely by the summer.
Significant dates: Once you have decided on the preferred season, you might want to consider any dates which are special to you and your partner. It can be any date which you hold close to your heart, whether it is the day you both met each other or started seeing each other officially or the day you got engaged. Picking a day that means something important to you makes it effortless to remember and also a lot more personal. Also, you can go for imaginative dates that are either mix both of your birthdays or carry with it a great story or have some importance in your lives. Also, lucky dates, special full moons, supermoons, etc. are some of the points taken into account while picking that perfect date.
Other factors: After the season and the preference in date is solidified, you and your partner can now go on to consider other factors like budget and availability of dates for the wedding venue you have been eyeing. Most of the time, the wedding date that couples end up finalizing is the date that their wedding venue is available, and other factors might have to take the backseat. Budget is another crucial factor to keep in mind. A wedding in fall is more solicited after, and the prices are hiked up and the chances for availability on the hot favorite dates are thin. If the budget and the availability don't work out, you might want to consider a different season. But if the budget isn't an issue, you can go in and get that date. The fact remains that you need to arrive at some version of compromise so that you can fix a date that ticks all the checks. It is a good idea to probably keep an open mind about the venue or the date. Or if you start wedding planning way ahead, you will probably get just the venue you fancy at the specific date you have your heart pinned on!
