There are positive and negative considerations when you get married in a particular season.

The wedding day timeline is jammed packed from the second your eyes open in the morning until you leave the reception. Weddings are just very very busy days. No matter the size of the guest list there will need to be an order-of-events. Because there are so many different events taking place and each one is significant (or you wouldn't have put it in the day-of timeline), capturing them all is a must.

Flowers are one of the best parts about weddings. I love the bouquets, the centerpieces, if it has flowers - I love it. They add dimension and style plus who doesn't love fresh flowers? Flowers really show off a bride's taste and personal style. Also being a wedding florist, I am well aware of how important this is to a bride. More importantly, I am aware of how much wedding flowers cost.
