In most places around the world, June welcomes an air of relaxation and fun—school’s out, vacations are being taken, and summer is in full swing. In June, the days are longer, the weather’s warmer, and people are looking forward to gathering with friends and family. All things considered, this is a wonderful month for a wedding. If you’re set on a June date for your big day, there are several things that you should take into account. Below are all of your need-to-knows.
Historically, June is the most popular month to marry, which means that this trend is nothing new. But why?
What’s in season can easily influence your decisions on two big things: Food and florals.

While there aren’t any major holidays in June, there are a few observances that you might want to avoid clashing with. Those include:
