I agree with the first poster, Fall. It's cooler and wedding attire is HOT!!!!!!! It's not so cold that you can't still do something outdoors. Early spring works too, depending on where you live. Trust me, when you're wearing that 10lb. dress you'll be glad you didn't get married on a beach in August,LOL!!!!!!!!

Winter: Have it on your dating anniversary. That way, neither of you will forget the date! (Or here's to hoping he doesn't...) You can also have pictures taken with Christmas trees. Only thing to watch out for are freak snowstorms and ice. Don't want a sprained ankle before you walk down the aisle!
Summer: No ice, snow, or cold weather. But everything is more expensive during the summer because it's wedding season. Flowers are in bloom, love is in the air, and you risk having your wedding on the same day as someone else's.
How about a fall wedding? I had a friend get married over Labor Day weekend. That way, most of the family from out of town had an extra day so there was no rushing around. It was wonderful.
My parents got married in October and had dried flowers instead of real flowers. Everyone thought it was very elegant, but this was back in the 70s...

Depends on where you are planning to have the wedding. You don't want a summer wedding in the south - can get up to 115 degrees. You don't want a winter wedding in the north because people will freeze.
I always suggest Fall. You can even do late fall like November, which is a great time. I love october weather though.

Wintertime
Pros: venues and vendors are often cheaper in the summer
less sweating in your formalwear
sentimental value
Cons: People may have to decline due to holiday plans, or lack of money (lots of people go broke around this time of year)
Possibility of bad weather, depending on where you live
May be hard for guests to get time off, especially if they're students or teachers
Summertime
Pros: usually has nicer weather
stays light out longer, and more potential for outside ceremony/reception
people may have an easier time getting off work
Cons:
Hot and sweaty
Summer is a popular wedding season, so you may not have your choice of venues. Plus prices are higher in peak months.
People may have to decline due to vacation plans.

It's really up to you. Talk to your fiance and decide what you both want. Pick a few feisable dates and talk to your immediate families ... try and make it so it doesn't clash with a major family event (annual reunion, someone's birthday, longstanding vacation plans, an upcoming birth or wedding) if you can. Also, plan out a budget, and figure out how long it'll take you to save up any desired money. That might play a role in what date you pick.
Don't forget that, even if you pick a definite date between the two of you, you might not get it if your desired ceremony and reception locations are already booked for that date. Be prepared to have an alternate date ready, or look for new venues if the date is the most important factor to you.

I am personally shooting for a late summer/early fall wedding, partly because we met on Sep. 5, and I want our anniversary to stay the same, but also because the weather is nice and usually pretty predictable at that time of year, and I really would like an outdoor wedding. Also, I would go for a summer/fall wedding because I have always wanted to be a barefoot, hippie-looking bride, and I don't think bare feet and daisies in my hair would look quite right in the winter!

Depends on where the wedding is going to be. I think winter is too unpredictable. People travelling could get stuck due to bad weather, even if the weather isn't bad where you are, they could get stuck in an airport somewhere. Could it snow where you are? What kind of dresses are you and the bridesmaids wearing. If you have to go outside at all like from the wedding to the reception, you will be freezing and if the weather is bad the dresses could get ruined. If you want it outside in summer, that could be just as bad, again, depending on where you live. If it gets really hot and humid and your ceremony and/or reception are outside everyone will be miserable. Why not choose a more mild season such as spring or fall?

Summer:
pro you can have it outdoors (unless you live in our area in which case it's over 100 degrees)
con everybody gets married in summer so places are booked faster and more expensive
Winter:
pro things are discounted since it's off season, guests are less tapped out financially and more able to attend since not dealing with dozens of other weddings at the same time
con bad weather may make travel harder for out of town guests.
*You can aboslutely have an outdoor winter wedding. They rent space heaters for just that reason, so instead of a tent you just have heaters.

The problem with a winter wedding is the weather. Not only the risk of bad weather in your area but the possibility of bad weather causing travel problems for your guests as well. This will all cause undue stress for you that you really won't need.

We put dates in a hat, and threw them on the floor and picked one!
Something to keep in mind though. Depending on your venue... it is considerably cheaper to book in winter months than it is in summer months.
But in winter months, depending on where you live... you have snow to consider. Rain on a summer wedding is inconvienient, but it wont stop the wedding altogether. Snow will!
I think the compromise of Fall would be cool. But... those are some options.
