Have you ever wondered why the summer months, June, in particular, have always been so popular with brides? Well, it turns out there are a number of excellent reasons – ranging from the practical to the mythical!

If you have always dreamed of a summer wedding, this is the perfect time to explore your options.

Why have the summer months traditionally been so popular for weddings? 

• According to the experts at World Book, the tradition of June weddings dates back to ancient Rome, when women paid special devotion to Juno, who was the Roman goddess of marriage, home and family. A powerful protector and counselor, she was supreme among all the goddesses. Historians have theorized that the month of June takes its name from her, which would make it an ideal time to wed for anyone who was hoping to earn the goddess’s favor.  

• “In Victorian times, the tradition [of summer weddings] is thought to have continued because there were flowers available for wedding décor, and the scent of the flowers masked body odor. Romantic, eh?” says wedding planner and contributor in the Huffington Post Sandy Malone. 

• It is easier for many people to travel in the summertime. Not only do work schedules tend to be more flexible for many during the summer months, but the kids are out of school. Summer weather tends to facilitate travel as well. There are no snowstorms to close down airports or make driving hazardous. 

• In addition to flowers, earlier generations might have preferred summer nuptials because they would have more options when it came to feeding their wedding guests. A plethora of fresh produce would be available in the summer. 

• These days, couples can enjoy a menu brimming with fresh flavors throughout the year, but in the summertime, they can reap the benefits of Daylight–Saving Time and plan activities so that they and their guests can enjoy the long hours of daylight.  

• And now, you can add the savings available to the list of reasons to plan a wedding in South Florida!
