August Weddings

What makes August Weddings so popular?

It’s summer and lots of people are taking holidays which can be a mixed blessing because some of your guests may already have plans. We got married on the August Bank Holiday at the end of the month so I’ve always thought of it as peak season.

Of course this is England so great weather still can’t be guaranteed, here are the headlines…

Temperatures ~ August daytime temperatures will generally reach highs of around 22°C (72°F). At night the average minimum temperature drops down to around 13°C (56°F). In recent times the highest recorded temperature in August has been 35°C (95°F), with the lowest recorded temperature 5°C (41°F).

Rain ~ the average monthly amount of precipitation has been recorded at around 38 mm, that’s 1 inches. Throughout the month you can expect to see rain or drizzle falling on 14 days of the month.

Sunshine ~ expect the sun to shine for an average of 7 hours per day.

Some couples steer clear of the summer months because they don’t want their plans to be ruined by rain, as always the important thing is to have a “Plan B”.

Because it school holiday month August Weddings probably need to be booked sooner so that everyone gets those important “Save The Date” cards. For some couples planning smaller celebrations it’s probably not such a big deal. There have never been more options for weddings than we have now – what is right for you is what is important.

The pictures in this blog were taken at August Weddings held at Winslowe House CLICK HERE, The Beaulieu Hotel CLICK HERE, Bartley Lodge CLICK HERE and Skylark CLICK HERE. All four are good venues, a couple of them are exceptional in my opinion – if you’d like to know more please get in touch ~ paul@thepartydj.co.uk

 

Bloomin’ Lovely

Flower Stables

I love flowers. It’s something that has been in my life ever since I can remember, my dad was a keen gardener and I also have early memories of my mum helping with the flower arranging at church.

If you look back through my blogs you’ll see I often use a cropped flower shot as a header on my entries.

One of the wonderful things about weddings is seeing all the different styles and designs of floristry and the wedding at Bartley Lodge on Easter Sunday was a good case in point, it looked “blooming’ lovely”! (see what I did there … comedy gold … or maybe not).

Everywhere I looked there seemed to be spring vases filled with tulips, spray roses, mini daffodils and lots of other spring favourites. The centre pieces at he wedding breakfast were more vases surrounding mini white bird cages for this Easter themed wedding, it was all so pretty.

I’m very lucky to know some brilliant florists, this was the work of the lovely Carole from The Flower Stables. You can see some more examples of her work here
