Hey everyone! Me and my fiance have always dreamed of a beautiful Fall wedding. However, we are having a very hard time picking a date. The date we wanted (Oct 22nd) has already been taken leaving us with Oct 15th, Oct 29th and Nov 5th of 2022. Each date has its own list of pros and cons and I would love to have some input and personal thoughts on this dilemma. For reference, we live in South Ontario.
Oct 15th: Pros; Still pretty warm around this time of the month, allowing us to have the outdoor ceremony we want. Cons; it's CRAZY busy this particular week. Both of our siblings have birthdays this week (a total of 6 birthdays!). Every year this week will be jam packed with our anniversary. Another con; the leaves in this area will still be pretty green as they have not reached peak fall colour just yet.
Oct 29th: Pro: Peak Fall foliage time! Could still be warm enough for an outdoor wedding. Con; Could also be too cold. Con; really close to Halloween. Me and my fiance LOVE celebrating Halloween so I don't want to choose every year between celebrating Halloween with friends or going away/spending private time for our anniversary
November 5th: Pro; NOTHING happens in November, so it would be a great way to make this month special. Also, something about this date seems very romantic and pretty to me (I sound crazy haha). Con; losing that Fall feeling, trees are kinda naked, way too cold to have outdoor ceremony and the indoor option at the venue is kinda small and cramped. We'd have to move the cocktail hour into our actual reception space which I was hoping to keep untouched until actual reception time.
What are your thoughts on these dates? I appreciate your help! Thanks!
