Why April Might Just Be the Most Underrated Month to Get Married

When most couples dream up their wedding plans, they immediately think of the “big hitters” in the calendar – May, June, July, maybe a late-summer September. But hear us out: April deserves way more love. It’s one of those months that quietly sits in the background while its glossier siblings hog the spotlight… but honestly? April might just be the hidden gem of wedding months. Here’s why:

1. Nature does the décor for you.

Think about it: the blossom on the trees, magnolias and cherry blossoms in full swing, daffodils and tulips popping up everywhere… April is bursting with natural beauty. Your wedding photos will have that dreamy, romantic vibe without you needing to overdo the décor. A confetti shot under a blossom tree? Absolute perfection.

2. The weather is (surprisingly) on your side.

Yes we know, the British weather can be unpredictable, but April tends to be one of those “goldilocks” months. It’s milder, fresher, and you’re far less likely to deal with the heatwaves and sticky humidity that can make summer weddings a little uncomfortable. At the same time, the light is brighter than earlier in the year. Plus, a gorgeous spring day feels like such a gift after winter—it sets the tone for your celebration.

3. Suppliers are more affordable (and more available).

Here’s the thing: April isn’t peak wedding season. That means venues, florists, photographers, and even caterers are often available and sometimes offer better rates than in those jam-packed summer months. You’ll have a greater choice of suppliers, rather than fighting everyone else for the peak dates. Plus, if you go on a honeymoon straight after your wedding, you’ll be avoiding the peak school holiday season.

If you’re working with a budget, or just want to get more for your money, April is a clever choice.

4. You’re ahead of the wedding-season rush.

Let’s get real: once you hit June, everyone and their cousin seems to be getting married. And as beautiful as weddings are, “wedding fatigue” is a real thing for guests (and their wallets). By getting married in April, you’re first out of the gate—everyone is still fresh, excited, and ready to celebrate without having to compare your big day to three other weddings that summer.

5. Fashion freedom.

April gives you the best of both worlds. Want a slinky, spring gown? Perfect. Prefer a dramatic cape or chic long sleeves? Totally appropriate. The mid-season climate means you don’t have to consider the weather so much when choosing your wedding outfit. You can play with seasonal accessories without overheating or freezing—ideal for couples who want a little flexibility in their look.

6. Symbolically, it’s all about new beginnings.

Spring is the season of renewal. There’s something beautifully poetic about starting your married life together just as the world around you is waking up, growing, and blossoming. April really leans into that whole “fresh chapter” energy.

So if you’re on the fence about when to tie the knot, don’t overlook April. It’s cost-effective, photogenic, and perfectly placed in the calendar for you to shine. In fact, it might just be the ultimate “trendsetter’s month” to say I do.
