I so desperately want to see brides stray away from The June Wedding. They're everywhere.... and to be quite honest, there is absolutely nothing unique about a June wedding. Every year I get about 7 wedding invitations for the month of June. And every year I have to choose which ones I'm going to attend because inevitably at least 2 out of the 4 weekends in June, I will have been invited to 2 or more weddings.
And I always think to myself "Why in the world do these girls want to compete with every other bride in the United States?" The prices of June weddings are 50-100% higher than any other given month. Because June is such a cliched month and the demand is high, caterers, florists and other vendors raise their prices in the name of Wedding Season. And they can charge anything they please because they know we'll pay it. Right? Read an interesting article on June weddings here.
My challenge to you is this: Think outside the box. Look beyond the typical Wedding Season (May - August). Choose Spring, Fall or Winter so you might claim your wedding day as your own as it is not something to be shared with every other bride in the world.
Here are some lovely inspirational photos for you Spring Brides:

Mississippi brides tend to melt in June anyway! I definitely agree about Spring. Spring is so fresh and peaceful and it just seems like it was created for new beginnings. Maybe it will catch on!
