Labor Day Wedding

Wedding on Labor Day weekend can greatly combine your most special celebration with a festivity of the social and economic accomplishments of American employees.

Labor Day is one of the numerous paid vacations in the USA. 96,5% of employers provide Labor Day off for their workers. Nevertheless, more than 50% of corporations remain working. It's the main reason why celebrating a wedding these days is a good idea. All guests can attend your celebration regardless of their workload. They won't have to rush or be delinquent, and restaurants or other venues will be available for reservation in most cases.

The weather archive for the last 20 years also shows that the temperature will be above 70 °F at the beginning of September in NYC. The probability is 95%.

Labor Day Wedding Pros And Cons

We've already described several advantages above, but there are many more additional ones. The advantages of celebrating on these days are the following:

• several weekends;
• you’ve got an extra period to split the celebration over several days;
• you’ve got an additional day for rest;
• quests from other cities will have extra travel time;
• less fuss about wedding decor if patriotic colors are your style;
• light autumn coolness in the evening;
• the opportunity to make a cozy tea corner;
• pleasant weather during the day;
• plenty of seasonal fruits and vegetables, such as grapes, pears, plums, and watermelon, as well as plenty of sweet corn and pumpkins;
• bright seasonal flowers for decorations, in particular hydrangeas, asters, and dahlias;
• slightly cheaper prices for wedding services.

Despite many advantages, there are also disadvantages to do a wedding on this day:

5 Ideas For Labor Day Wedding Colors

A national holiday will have an impact on your celebration in any case. If you don't want to focus much attention on traditions, don't choose red and blue as the colors of your wedding. Everyone will associate it with the USA flag. However, if you like such associations, then you’ve got a perfect opportunity to combine two holidays into one decor.

On the other hand, green and beige shades of summer weddings will be very appropriate as a farewell tribute. Burgundy, yellow, and orange shades of autumn are also becoming relevant.

We suggest you consider the following 5 wedding coloring scheme ideas:

1. Olive, beige, and white.
2. Yellow, pink, and crimson.
3. Dark blue, brown, and white.
4. Lemon green, dark green, and other shades of green.
5. Red, blue, and white.

You can choose any colors you like, but the start of autumn requires at least small but bright accents.

Labor Day Wedding Attire

It's quite warm and comfortable in September, so you don't have to choose clothes with long sleeves or closed-toe shoes. Be sure to buy a cape for your shoulders in case there is a sudden cold.

You can choose a suit with a white jacket for the groom and in case of cold weather take luxurious photos in a white dress and a big jacket.

A white dress, a navy labor day wedding suit for the groom, and a rich burgundy bow tie will also look amazing. Bright colors will create a slightly autumn style and a faint resonance of tones with the national fest.

If you select lace or mesh fabric, add boleros with long sleeves over the dress. You can always take it off if necessary. It will look both cozy and luxurious. When choosing a dress, pay special attention to those with transparent sleeves. Fall calls for a little more coverage, so there are plenty of pull-on sleeves to suit every taste.

The main accent in the image is flowers. A wedding bouquet will be especially beautiful if it contains the colors of your wedding. Just imagine having in your hands several bright burgundy flowers, white classics, and many eucalyptus leaves. Anyway, you’ll look great if you choose an outfit that takes your breath away.
