In Kenya, the majority of couples seem to have their nuptials towards the end of the year. Every weekend starting from October all the way through to December has a wedding dance routine cropping up here and there on your social media pages, if you know what we mean 🙂 If you are considering having your wedding in Kenya it would be wise to choose one of the weekends between October and December. Today, we delve into why it would be an amazing choice for you and your fiancé(e).
Many holidays: Between October and December there are many public holidays in Kenya that make it a really good fit if you would like to have many people attending your wedding. With wedding related COVID-19 rules being relaxed due to the presence of the vaccine, many more couples have managed to plan for weddings with more guests.
Favourable weather: Everyone wants their weddings to be picture-perfect. This involves having everyone dressed to the nines for the perfect wedding photos. Good weather allows your guests to dress impeccably and not cover up so much. The weather also affects your wedding dress as a bride. If you would like to show a bit more skin, it will make sense to have a wedding during the warmer months between October and December. If you would like your picture perfect wedding dress, book an appointment here for us to show you all the beautiful wedding gowns, shoes and accessories at our wedding dress shop in Runda, Nairobi.
A Few Notes on Wedding Season in Kenya
Other brides consider this season suitable for their weddings too: Getting a venue during the wedding season in Kenya may take a longer time and will cost more eventually especially if you had not booked it well in advance. Bearing in mind that many brides are very aware that this is the best time to have a wedding in Kenya, many wedding venues are booked solid months in advance. The more exclusive it is, the longer you will have to wait for it. Unless you would want to have your wedding on a weekday, which can also be an option, it’s best you account for your venue early and set aside a reasonable amount of money.
Wedding venues can be costly during this time: Since many couples are rushing to have their weddings at this time, the venue owners would want to make a killing especially now that the COVID-19 rules on weddings have been relaxed and more people are allowed to be at weddings. Even though your plan involves booking months in advance, you should also consider that you have to put aside a sizeable amount to book the venue considering that wedding venues are really on demand during this time. Any delays in payment could result in the venue being booked by another couple.
As you choose your wedding date, eventually do what you feel is best for you. Sometimes it may be wiser to have your wedding outside the wedding season just to keep costs low. After all, it is your day, the guests come to witness the beginning of your life with your loved one. As long as your day is special for you, your wedding can happen any day or month in the year.Â
