I’m getting a lot of calls for weddings in 2009 and I am starting to notice the popular dates. This happens every year and I alwauys find it interesting to see which days are the most popular. Granted, in a city the size of Chicago, you’re virtually guaranteed to find weddings on any weekend throughout the Spring but there are those days that seem more popular than most.
Of course, there are dates that have cultural meaning and when they fall on a weekend, I’ll start getting calls early. Valentine’s Day is a great example. It’s the non-obvious days that I like to discover. In 2009, October 24 is becoming a popular day. Perhaps because it’s around the time when the Fall colors are at their most brilliant. May 30 is another day that’s quickly getting booked, too, probably for the opposite reason; the Spring flowes will be in bloom.
Whatever the reason, I think the fact that certain days and times of the year are in such demand is that couples are spending time thinking about the wedding day and attaching their own significance and meaning to it.
And that’s never a bad thing.
