Everyone knows June is the most popular month for weddings (at home). Some of you may already be aware that May is chosen most often for destination weddings. But did you know there’s a new trend emerging?
That’s right, November is the new May. Over the past few years, more couples have been choosing the month of November for their destination wedding. The other winter months, December and January, have also been steadily gaining in popularity.
Why choose winter for your destination wedding?
Actually, the winter months are good choices for a destination wedding. A tropical locale takes the chill off for us Canadians so guests appreciate the invitation for a winter holiday to celebrate your wedding!
A little nervous about torrential rainfall and whipping winds demolishing your romantic beach wedding ceremony? Don’t be! The peak hurricane season in the Caribbean is generally August to October so you’re fairly safe choosing a winter destination wedding in the Caribbean.
Unfortunately, nature has a mind of its own so we can’t guarantee perfect wedding weather for you and your guests. However, the average temperatures in the Caribbean from November to January is about 27 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit).
