Flavour Of The Week
Tie the Knot Scotland|July - August 2017

It could shave a sizable chunk off your bill and give you the pick of the starriest suppliers. Should you marry midweek?

Flavour Of The Week

Saturday has one heck of a devoted fan club. Google songs with this day in the title and you’ll be inundated with odes to our favourite 24 hours of the week. It’s the only time those of us who slog it out Monday to Friday nine to five (cue Dolly Parton) can let our hair down, hence why so many parties, nights-out and, yes, weddings are held on a Saturday. When you know you’re probably going to need a whole day to recover afterwards, it makes sense to plan everything around the start of the weekend. Why, then, is the weekday wedding seeing a surge in popularity?

Frankly, life has moved on. The days of easily bagging yourself a Saturday in any season, never mind everyone’s favourite month July, are long, long gone. Venues and suppliers are busier than ever and as their diaries become filled to bursting point, prices escalate from ‘maybe I just won’t have that takeaway latte this week’ to ‘how exactly do we remortgage the flat?’. It all means one thing: the savings, both emotionally and financially, in switching your do to a weekday are staggering.

You’re not necessarily compromising either. Yes, at face value, a weekend is the easier option for most guests, but you might just find that a Wednesday won’t put them out as much as you fear. And you? You’ll be the one who wins.
