5 Ways to Choose the Perfect Date, Time and Place

In Eastern wisdom it is said that journey of 10,000 miles begins with a single step. When planning a wedding, the first step is setting the date, time and place. Everything hinges on these decisions, from the style of dress to the tone of the reception.

The date. Choosing a date involves many considerations. It may be a day with great sentimental value, like the anniversary of a first date, or the decision may depend on the availability of family and friends.

Some guidelines

  • If the wedding is during 'high season,' from May to September, it is impossible to book too far in advance.
  • If economising is a concern, select a weekday between October and February.
  • If the date coincides with a bank holiday weekend, expect higher costs from caterers and banquet managers.
  • For summer weddings, a Thursday celebration avoids disrupting everyone's weekend.
  • The date is only as important as the guests' availability.
  • The time of day always determines the choice of dress and the style of the wedding.
