Spring and summer have been the most popular times for weddings for centuries, mainly because the weather was nice and there was plenty of access to beautiful flowers and fruits for wedding treats. However, these days it’s much easier to get supplies in any month so the statistics have changed. Let’s take a look at the most popular time for a wedding as well as the least popular time.
January
January is the least popular time to get married, at 4.7%. It’s a cold month, and most people are still strung out from all that turkey and dressing! However, brides who want to save money can get married this month, as most vendors consider it an “off” time.
