I'm planning on having the wedding next spring in Northern Virginia, but the initial date I wanted is booked. The only dates left that work for both my caterer and the venue is either April 4th or May 30th. Please help me decide!
April:
Pros- Cooler weather, spring flowers blooming, parents go married same weekend 37 years ago, fiance prefers this date
Cons- Could be COLD, need to spend more on outdoor heaters for cocktail hour, only have 6 months to plan, need to buy additional jackets/shawls for bridal party
May:
Pros- Weather will be warm, 2 extra months to plan, can show more skin, sister's baby will be old enough to fly
Cons- Fiance will be hot and complaining in a 3 piece suit, could be humid and sweaty, more likely to rain, mother will be be able to help less due to school calendar
Thoughts?
