New Year’s Eve - a wedding to remember
When is the best time of year for a wedding? The traditional time of year for a wedding is summer, with June weddings being very popular. However a very pervasive feature of weddings is that they tend to combine tradition with trend, and universal with unique, so it is not surprising that couples are giving some thought to other times of year as well. One time of year that is becoming rather popular for weddings, perhaps surprisingly, is New Year’s Eve.
Yes, the festive season is coming ever closer, and now is probably is not the time of year that you would expect people to be thinking about weddings. Yet, when you think about it, this is not such a strange time of year to get married as you might think: you have to admit that there is something rather nice about the idea of starting a new life together on the very first day of the New Year, and future wedding anniversaries will always have that bit of added sparkle – and, dare we say it, this is a wedding anniversary the date of which will not be forgotten!
There are certain logistical advantages to a New Year’s Eve wedding - your guests will, most likely, already have time off work, and a New Year’s Eve reception is a great way for your guests to see in the New Year.
Because New Year is part of the traditional festive season, a New Year’s Eve weddings should be relatively easy to decorate for, with holly, mistletoe, candles and glittering decoartions providing great seasonal and romantic style. Mistletoe itself has such lovely romantic connotations!
