Wedding date and location


Wedding date and location

During the holiday season many couples decide to get married.  Boyfriends use their holiday gifts as a way to make a marriage proposal to their girlfriends.  Once the holidays are finally over it’s time to decide on a wedding date and location.

My experience is that many couples forget to consider many  important aspects of the date and location they choose especially when it come to the decorations that they are dreaming of for their special event.
Most flowers will cost more near holidays not only in your country but in other countries.  When there is a special holiday in France, flowers will be more costly worldwide.  If there is a bank holiday on a Friday and you are getting married on the weekend many flowers may not last well from the days before the holiday to your wedding date.  Make sure to ask your floral designer about these issues.
For those of you considering a destination wedding it is even more important that you carefully think through your decorative dreams and the location you want for your wedding date.  If you love the English Garden style remember that warm weather locations like Italy or Spain are not your best choices.  Also ask the location or florist about holidays near the date that you are choosing for your wedding. For Example, most of Italy is on vacation during August and in particular August 15th almost everything is completely shut down.
Before you set your date and choose your location please be sure to consider your decorative dreams and the availability of flowers at that time.

All the best,
