Reasons for getting married in March
Getting married in March offers beautiful spring blooms (daffodils, blossoms), milder weather ideal for outdoor chances, lower costs (off-peak), and a fresh "new beginnings" theme, but requires planning for unpredictable rain and potential Lent guest considerations, making it great for budget-savvy couples who love spring colors and fresh vibes but need a solid backup plan for weather.
Benefits
New Beginnings: Symbolizes new starts with spring's arrival and blooming flowers like daffodils and crocuses.
Cost Savings: Often cheaper than peak summer, with venues offering deals, especially mid-week.
Lovely Backdrop: Natural beauty, fresh green hills, and flowers offer gorgeous photo opportunities.
Comfortable Weather: Usually fresh and breezy, not too hot or humid, allowing for lighter attire and outdoor ceremonies if lucky.
Honeymoon Perks: Cheaper travel rates for off-peak destinations.
Considerations
Unpredictable Weather: Can still be cold, rainy, or even snowy; a strong indoor backup plan is crucial.
Daylight: Days are shorter, so plan your schedule to maximize natural light.
Lent: Some guests may be abstaining from luxuries like alcohol or cake, so be mindful.
Planning Tips
Embrace Spring Colors: Use pastels, bright yellows, pinks, and greens in decor, flowers, and attire.
Flexible Attire: Consider lighter fabrics like chiffon or lace, or even short sleeves, but have wraps for warmth.
Book Early (but not too early): While not peak, popular venues and suppliers still book up; aim for 12-18 months out for key vendors.
Backup Plan: Have a solid indoor option for your ceremony and photos.
