How to Choose Your Wedding Date
The first and most important step in planning your wedding is finding your venue and securing your date, but how do you choose the
date you get married?
Choosing an auspicious or lucky date for your marriage is of the highest importance when planning a Chinese wedding (happy belated Chinese New Year!), but here in the west we tend to think about many other things before the numbers…
It’s all about priorities.

If time is the most important factor to you and you want to get down that aisle as soon as possible, then you will probably only have a handful of dates to choose from which helps whittle it down.
You might also want to go down this route if budget is the biggest determining factor, as venues are often able to give great deals on late availability wedding dates.
Psst! While we’re on the subject we have just 1 date left next year...

This is our last date until 2024. Get in touch with Team E to snap it up.
But if you are happy to wait a little longer it can make it harder to decide when your magic number might be…
Significant dates
Many Elmore couples have chosen a special date for their wedding such as the date of their engagement, when they first met, their first date, or the date of one of their parents weddings or their birthdays.
Your wedding season
If you don’t have a special date in mind consider which season you want to hold your wedding…
For instance, if you’re set on an outdoor wedding (Great news for you: on April 6th wedding law is changing to make outdoor weddings legal for good!! Check back here for more on that soon) then late Spring and summer is the obvious choice, if you’re sold on the magic of a winter wonderland wedding then the end of the year is the time for you.

If you don’t feel you have a strong preference as to which season you want to wed, have a think about the kind of flowers and decor you envision decorating your wedding day.
If you have a favourite flower which you
just have to have, you might want to consider when it blooms to avoid having to order flowers out of season from overseas.

A wedding isn't a party without guests!Wedding guests availability
Your wedding guests availability is a big consideration. If most of your friends and family have children then perhaps a wedding in a school holiday
would be best, or maybe that rules out August because so many of your guests will be away on holiday?

Wedding date numerology
Choosing a date around lucky numbers or using numerology to work out a date around your life path numbers is another option. The Eastern way of choosing wedding dates is a lengthy process with many factors to consider, no one would consider getting married on an inauspicious day…
Last date until 2024!

Let's work out the numerology of this wedding date!

So how do you work out your wedding day numerology?
The simple way to calculate your wedding date numerology is to first find both your life path numbers, these are your birth dates added up until you have a single digit number. For example:
Your date of birth: 5th February 1990 5/2/1990
5 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 26
2+ 6 = Life path number 8
Your
partner’s date of birth: 22nd October 1991
2 + 2 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 1 = 25
2 + 5 = Life path number 7
Now add your numbers together in the same way until you have your single digit ‘marriage number’
8 + 7 = 15
1 + 5 = 6
You can now go about choosing your wedding date by choosing a complimentary number to either your marriage number or both of your life path numbers.
To find out if a date is a complimentary match to your marriage and/ or life path numbers add up date as above until you have a single digit and refer to the handy lists below:
