Brides Want To Know The Most Popular Wedding Dates For 2024
Deciding on a wedding date is one of the first decisions a couple makes when planning their wedding. It’s important because it’s not only a date they’ll celebrate every year going forward, it also affects the rest of the planning. It’s no secret that Saturdays from May to October, also known as “wedding season” tend to be the most coveted dates, there are a lot of other popular dates for weddings in 2024.
According to Brides magazine and wedding planners Laurie Arons and Mala Bakshi predict these will be the most popular wedding dates for next year.
- Days with repeating numbers – People love to say “I do” on a date that includes a pattern or a sequence of numbers. Some of the top choices include 2/24/24 and 8/24/24, which both fall on a Saturday. Those dates also include the “angel number” or repeating number 2424, which “symbolizes balance, stability, patience, and determination,” according to numerology.
- Three-day weekends – Long weekends are ideal for weddings that have multiple days of events and destination weddings, as they give guests and loved ones extra travel time. In 2024, Memorial Day and Labor Day will be competitive holiday weekends for weddings, according to the experts, as will any Saturdays on three-day weekends.
- Astrological dates – Couples interested in astrology may want to tie the knot on lucky dates in the zodiac, like June 21st, 2024, the date of the summer solstice. The wedding planners say this will be one of the most popular dates because of the position of the stars, moon, sun and planets. Other astrology-inspired dates in 2024 are March 10th and June 6th. Both new moons, which is considered lucky in the zodiac.
Wedding dates to avoid in 2024 include:
- Major holidays – We’re talking Thanksgiving, Christmas and the Fourth of July, when most people are enjoying traditions with their families and don’t want to have to skip them to attend a wedding. Plus, vendors don’t want to work on a big holiday and may charge more to do so. Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are also dates you may want to avoid.
- Friday the 13th – There’s one in September and December 2024, so superstitious types may not want to say “I do” on those days, which are considered unlucky by some.
