Hi there,
My fiance and I have found a place to have an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception in Columbia, SC, but we aren't sure which month we should book.
The only date available in the Spring is May 27th. It's the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and I'm worried that a) it's going to be too hot or potentially rain, b) all the best vendors are already going to be booked, and c) the flight and hotel prices for our out of town guests are going to be higher due to the holiday. Is a wedding on a holiday weekend a good idea (3 day weekend) or is it more of a hassle for our guests?
Then the other date that we are thinking is October 6th. The problem with this is a) it's right smack in the middle of football season, I already know that it's an away game so we're good on traffic but I don't want people focusing on the game instead of our wedding, b) I sort of have my heart set on light pink, grey and white as our colors and that hardly seems like a fall color scheme...although maybe it is, I don't know, but I really want peonies and I'm afraid they'll be out of season in the fall. If I can't do pink I don't really know what color to do I'm not really into the dark bold colors.
I'd appreciate any advice ya'll might have!
