Its wedding season once again, and June tops the list as the most popular month of the year to tie the knot. With flower gardens in bloom and quickly reaching their peak of perfection, setting the scene as idyllic backdrops for photography, and the heavy heat and humidity holding off until the middle of summer, this month has all the right elements for planning outdoor ceremonies. This year over one hundred and fifty thousand nuptials are expected to take place across Canada. For most brides, traditional events are still the preferred choice but themed and destination weddings are quickly becoming popular options as well.
