A Marriage For All Seasons

Author: Diana Carver, November 28th, 2009

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

These days the factors that make us decide dissent a little. Each season brings its own style & flavor to a marriage. The time of year you choose to get married will indeed affect the style & economics of the marriage in many ways including location of the reception, honeymoon destinations, marriage theme & price. Whatever kind of marriage you desire there will be a season to suit you.

An autumn marriage brings to mind golden & copper themes through the materials and the flowers. Blossoms this season are earthy however rich. Take bold colors in purples russets, yellow & reds. Add a natural 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 & Pears; these are in season all year round. All these constituents united will bring a good autumn breeze to the day. Have in mind that August is quite common for marriages, 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 amorous setting of Burning log fires, mulled wine receptions and Christmas card settings. This would definitely be an indoor wedding, maybe in a castle or Hotel adorned with rich reds and golden burning wax lights.

A December marriage is a good thought as the marriage reception cost is dropped in many hotels in the first few days after Christmas. The vacation spirit that is still lingering at this time will add to the ambience. Snowdrops, Tulips, Amaryllis, and White geisha include some of the winter blooms. Seasonal fruits to be enjoyed include winterberries, Apricots, Cherries & dates.

A New Years Eve marriage can be a good idea, 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 amorous log cabin accommodation or maybe head for the sun kissed beached of Thailand. Keeping in mind flights are generally rare & pricey around Christmas so book your honeymoon well in advance.

Spring / Summer sun will allow for pretty garden weddings mounted with all of mother natures glory, a charming season for a wedding. The colors & flowers to opt 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 and strong colors softening them with driftwood or delicate wisps of grass & raffia. Some of the fruits in season are Peaches, passion fruit, & Citrus fruits, and Quinces.

Freshly picked chocolate dipped strawberries would go down well with a champagne reception. A marquee would be a great thought 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 however remember our summer is winter in most of the southern hemisphere including Australia.

Whatever your plans do not stress yourself & 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 & money.
