One of the most exciting parts of wedding planning is selecting the date. However, you’ll quickly find that some dates are more popular (and book up faster!) than others. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the date, including traditions, availability, and venue timing.
-
Popular Dates Go Quickly
Certain dates are highly popular, especially if they’re easy to remember or have unique numerical patterns, such as 02/22/26, 06/26/26, and 10/10/26. These “parallelogram dates” or memorable sequences make for easy anniversaries and are visually appealing on invitations and mementos. If you have a date like this in mind, plan to book early. Bridal shows can help you secure your date before it’s taken.
-
Consider Symbolic and Traditional Dates
If you’re interested in tradition, the timing of your wedding might carry special significance. For example, in Roman tradition, June is named after Juno, the goddess of marriage and well-being, and it’s traditionally considered a lucky month for weddings. Many couples choose June for this reason, leading to high demand in the summer. In Irish culture, the harvest season symbolizes abundance, making fall a meaningful time to tie the knot. Considering these traditions can add a layer of significance to your celebration and might even help you narrow down a date.

Think About the Season and Your Wedding Style
Your wedding style can also influence your date selection. If you envision an outdoor wedding with lush greenery, a summer date might suit you best, but it will also come with higher demand. For cozy, indoor vibes with warm tones, late fall or winter could be a beautiful choice. Keep in mind that peak wedding season (typically May-October) will have higher costs and more competition for venues and vendors.
Choosing a wedding date is a meaningful and practical decision. Whether you’re driven by availability, tradition, or personal style, taking the time to find the right date will make your wedding planning more enjoyable and ensure you’re able to create your perfect day.
