Planning a wedding can be stressful but can also be a great deal of fun! Typically June is a popular month to get married. Did you ever wonder where the term “June Bride” came from? Well, it's not as romantic as you might think.  Many, many, many years ago, when indoor plumbing was not available, people took yearly baths.  Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and they still smelled pretty good in June. In order to cover up any body odor that started to appear, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the smell.  Not very romantic, I realize, but today summer is still the most popular time to plan a wedding.

Why? First, the weather is generally mild, the light is excellent, there is an abundance of fruit, and the flowers are in bloom. Summer is ideal for outdoor or destination weddings. But no matter when the wedding, there is no wrong time to plan a wedding.

TYPES OF WEDDINGS

There are many types of weddings for you to consider: traditional weddings, destination weddings, wedding weekends, small weddings, themed weddings, courthouse weddings, or elopements. Whatever your choice, you can make it special by considering all your options. Just be sure to start early to help eliminate the stress that comes with selecting a date, booking venues, determining the wedding size, choosing menus, and interviewing wedding planners and coordinators.
