April Weddings !!!

We were thrilled to kick off our 2009 wedding season with four great weddings in April.  There are so many great reasons to pick a wedding date in April – and we though we would make a quick list for those of you who are thinking spring!

• Competition : Fewer people are getting married in April means fewer roadblocks in selecting bands, photographers and in-demand vendors.  In April you have a better chance of getting your first choice vendor (sometimes at off-season prices)
• Avoiding Staff Burnout : Come November some of your vendors may feel like a truck has run over them and backed up a couple of times. . .  and that can be the same for every person working on your wedding – from the floral crew to the waiters that are serving your guests their dinner.  In April you are likely to be one of their first weddings for the season after they  have had the winter to rest, recharge, gather new inspiration and reinvent themselves anew!  
• Flower availability:  Any florist will tell you that they LOVE April weddings because of the variety and quality of flowers available at the mart.  Local varieties of floral favorites are more available as well – which can save you money rather then having your florist procuring expensive imports.

Check out some photos from the amazing Michelle Walker from Jennie’s first wedding of the season at St. Ignatius Church & the Olympic Club.  Check out the lush and bold flowers by Mandy Scott – some which are only available in the spring.
