What Is the Most Popular Date for a Wedding?

The most popular wedding dates typically fall on Saturdays in late spring and early fall.

Across the U.S., the busiest wedding months are:

  • May
  • June
  • September
  • October

These seasons are favored for their mild weather, beautiful natural scenery, and peak flower availability.

For Indiana weddings especially, couples love:

  • Late May & early June — perfect for peonies, garden roses, and lush spring blooms
  • September & early October — ideal for dahlias, rich fall tones, and golden outdoor light

 

Specific dates that are especially popular often include the first Saturday in June, the second Saturday in September, and the first Saturday in October. Unique “pretty dates” (like 9/9 or 10/10) also book very quickly when they fall on a Saturday.

If you’re planning your wedding, booking early for these peak weekends is key — they tend to fill a year or more in advance.
