Best Months to Tie the Knot in Australia
Is it really important to choose the best month to get married? Some may say, “No! I can get married any time of the year as long as I’m with the person I’m spending the rest of my life with.” Aww… Isn’t that just sweet? Of course, that is perfectly acceptable. But others might say, “It’s my wedding day, so everything should be perfect—including the weather!” And that is also true! That’s why we’ve highlighted two of the best months for weddings in Australia: November and March.
NOVEMBER
Why November? It’s spring! Couples have a wide array of seasonal flowers to choose from. Options range from peonies, anthurium, calla lilies, carnations, roses, lilacs, sweet peas, freesia, lisianthus, poppies, alstroemeria, snapdragons, dahlias, blushing bride, Singapore and cymbidium orchids, David Austin roses, delphiniums, ranunculus, and stock.
November offers a delightful balance of warm days and cool evenings, making it ideal for an outdoor ceremony and reception. Additionally, fresh seasonal foods are more available during this time.
On the downside, November is PEAK wedding season! Venues tend to get booked quickly, discounts are rare because vendors are fully booked, and the best spots for photoshoots are often crowded.
MARCH
March brings autumn, which offers the most pleasant weather in Australia. Not only is the weather ideal, but the natural backdrop provided by the changing leaves is stunning. Photographers love this season because they can capture the most beautiful photos of couples—it’s easy to see why.
With its beautiful color palette and soft lighting, autumn is an ideal time for an outdoor wedding. The weather is pleasant—not too warm, but not too cold—creating a cozy atmosphere for your guests.
However, autumn rains are more common, so it’s essential to have a backup plan in case of rain. Like November, March is also a peak season, so be sure to book your dream venues early and secure your vendors well in advance.
WHAT ABOUT THE WORST MONTHS?
June and July are the least popular months due to the cold, and summer can be too hot for some couples. But honestly, the best or worst month to get married depends on you. If you and your partner love the cold, go ahead and rock that faux fur stole over your wedding dress. If you prefer a bright summer wedding, enjoy the sunshine!
Whether you’re getting married on a perfect spring or autumn day, or the coldest day of winter, what matters most is that it’s your wedding day! It’s the best day of your life, so embrace it and let the moment take you away.
