Mother's Day weekend wedding

Not getting married Mother's Day weekend, but Easter weekend next year. We didn't notice until a few months after we booked the venue, photographer, florist. Honestly, my family is really close, so I don't see that big of an issue. Also, haven't had issues with vendors or anything else.

That's the weekend I had first wanted but after my florist pointed out that it was Mother's Day weekend I changed my mind. She talked about how there might not be the best selection of flowers and then we talked about how our anniversary would fall Mother's Day weekend and I realized I don't want to share my anniversary with Mother's Day each year because I want each one to be celebrated separately.

As a guest, I likely wouldn't have a problem with it as long as it wasn't on actual Mother's Day and didn't interfere with family plans or something.

However, from the perspective of someone who works at a florist shop, the entire week leading up to Mother's Day is insane. Knowing what goes on behind the scenes with the sheer volume of flowers being moved through and the stress that everyone from designers to delivery drivers experience, I personally would not schedule my wedding for that weekend. I'm not saying your flowers would fall by the wayside because obviously everything possible would be done to get them right, but there'd be the potential for them to be more rushed than typical practice and a higher likelihood of something going wrong at every stage of the process - because it's not just the local florist that deals with flowers, it's the wholesaler and everyone else in the supply chain. We had flowers this year that we'd ordered for Mother's Day weekend long in advance that never showed up at all.

I wouldn't do it just because I'd like to be able to celebrate Mother's Day separately from my wedding anniversary. But that's just me.

We were married Mother's Day weekend. There were no declines due to it being Mother's Day weekend. Our flower prices weren't affected.

There's no chance in the world i would go to a Mother's Day weekend wedding. Sorry. Being with my mom on that day is more important than someone's wedding, to me.

As long as it isn't on Sunday, I think it's fine. @A.L what if it's a local wedding on Saturday evening..?

I would have to respectfully decline the invite. Mother's Day is important to my Mother and also to me. I hang out with her the Saturday before and get pampered the Sunday myself (I'm a mother too).

Also getting married 03.31 next year and haven't had any issues. I think when you give enough notice people are more willing to work around you and plan accordingly and to still honour the holiday. I teach in NYC and that is the start of my spring break hence why we chose it. I made sure to alert my teacher friends very early by private email as a preliminary Save the Date.

I did... flowers were def more expensive.. Not all mother days fall on your anniversary

We are getting married the day before. Not a big deal, the family doesn't care. The only thing I'm struggling with is brunch the following morning.

My venue includes flowers so I don't think it'll be a big deal, I think they only do weddings so it shouldn't be a problem.

We are getting married mothers day weekend and the only issue we've run into is that it's also prom weekend for 2 schools in our county. ETA we are getting our flowers from Sam's Club so I didn't even look into local florists.

@S.Suarez date twin! Samesies with us! Only higher quote we received was for flowers.

A lot of universities graduate on Mother's Day weekend.

And call me selfish, but I'm not going to a wedding on Mother's Day. I'd be spending it with my child, husband, and my own mother.

The wedding would be on Saturday before Mother's Day. And we've been looking around at universities in our area and have only found 1 that graduates that day so hopefully that isn't a problem.

As a mom and a guest, it wouldn't bother me in the least assuming the wedding is on Saturday

I had mine the night before mother's day. I had a 98% acceptance rate so i don't think many people care. Also, my flowers weren't more expensive.

As long as its not ON mothers day, your fine. I also gave the centerpiece flower to mothers that were there.

I would go. I would just see my mother the day before, and my mother would have no problem with that.

College graduations tend to be this weekend.
