Why June is the Most Popular Month for Weddings: A Sweet Romance Perspective by Josie Riviera

Summer is the season for love and romance, and June sets the stage for the most beautiful and memorable weddings. According to The Knot, a popular wedding planning website, June has been the most popular month for weddings for the past few years. In 2015 alone, more than 15 percent of all weddings took place in June. But what makes June such a popular month for tying the knot?

One of the reasons is the mild weather. With average temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to low 80s, June offers a comfortable and enjoyable setting for an outdoor ceremony. Unlike July and August, when the heat can be overwhelming, June provides a comfortable climate for both the couple and their guests.

Another reason why June is such a popular wedding month is the abundance of beautiful flowers in bloom. June is the season for peonies, roses, hydrangeas, and other stunning blooms that make for the perfect wedding bouquet. With the natural beauty of summer, June weddings often require less decoration to create a dreamy and romantic atmosphere.

Additionally, June also marks the end of the school year and the start of summer vacation. For families with children, this timing makes it easier to plan a wedding and for guests to attend, without having to worry about school schedules.

Lastly, June has always been associated with romance and love. The month takes its name from the Roman goddess Juno, who was the goddess of marriage and childbirth. The idea of a June wedding has been romanticized in literature and movies for centuries, making it a popular choice for couples who want to create a romantic and sentimental atmosphere.

For sweet romance readers, June weddings offer the perfect backdrop for a heartwarming love story. The natural beauty, mild weather, and romantic ambiance make it an ideal setting for a sweet and tender romance. So, whether you're planning your own wedding or simply looking for inspiration for your next read, June is the month to celebrate love and romance.

The Beauty of Everything Irish by Josie Riviera

March has arrived, and the renewal of Spring is upon us. It's time to look forward to things turning green--flowers blooming, birds singing, and everything Irish as we approach St. Patrick's Day.
I frequently set my books in Ireland, as my daughter lives there. As a sweet romance writer, I find Ireland to be a wonderful setting. The country is known as the Emerald Isle for the incredible landscape, a patchwork of shades of green. Full of history, tradition, kind-hearted people, the location lends itself to the sweetness of life. The Cliffs of Mohar soar 700 feet above the Atlantic. 

Enjoy windswept cliff walks where you will pass fields of sheep and cows, while the waves crash below. Or, the quaint village of Adare, which is touted as "the prettiest village in Ireland." In County Limerick, Adare is filled with thatched-roofed and ivy-covered cottages. Adorable cafes and pubs provide local fare locals and tourists alike. 

 If a castle is more your styles, Ashford Castle is located in County May. This 350 acre estate, once owned by the Guinness Brewing family, is often voted one of the world's best 5-star hotels. When the time is right, I hope you can explore Ireland in person. For now, a virtual trip for St. Patrick's Day is the next best thing. 

 Have you ever visited Ireland? Please leave your comments below.


Maeve, my sweet contemporary "Irish" romance, is 99¢ on a US Kindle Countdown, and perfect for St. Patrick's Day.

 Grab your copy today. Available in ebook, Paperback, Large Print Paperback, Audiobook, and Hardcover.
