Reasons to Get Married in July
June 15th, 2025

At Thom Duma Fine Jewelers, we’re major proponents of July weddings. There’s something irresistibly joyful about this month with its bright skies, carefree days, and the warm sun. July offers an ideal canvas for your love story, especially if you're planning a heartfelt celebration surrounded by family and friends. The summer months are perfect for an outdoor wedding infused with energy and elegance, made even more memorable by sunny weather and seasonal beauty. With over a century of helping couples mark life’s milestones, we know that July weddings offer both practicality and poetry for your special day.
School’s Out for Summer
One of the most overlooked yet practical reasons to marry in July is the convenience it offers for your guests. With schools on summer break and students enjoying their well-earned time off, July creates the perfect window to gather your loved ones without the stress of mid-year obligations. Families with children, out-of-town relatives, and those in education find this timing ideal.

Floral Abundance and Seasonal Blooms
The abundance of fresh flowers available is another reason to consider a July wedding. Whether you’re envisioning a rustic garden party or a grand ballroom affair, the floral options are at their peak during this vibrant season. Our team at Thom Duma Fine Jewelers often works with brides selecting custom engagement rings featuring floral-inspired designs, which beautifully reflect the bounty of the season. Popular July blooms like sunflowers, hydrangeas, and calla lilies create breathtaking bouquets and décor.
Outdoor Weddings and Summer Themes
The long, sunlit days of July invite celebrations beneath blue skies. Whether you're planning a lakeside ceremony or a vineyard reception, outdoor weddings are a natural fit for this time of year. Longer days also extend the celebration: from afternoon garden games to twilight dancing under the stars. Just remember to plan for rain contingencies, and your outdoor dreams can easily become reality.

Combat Superstition with Style
Superstitions have long cast a shadow on July weddings, fuelled by anonymous rhymes warning that a July bride may be “handsome, but a trifle quick-tempered,” or that marriages this month are “crisscrossed with sunshine and shadow.” Superstitions may linger in folklore, but those who have had a July wedding know that the month invites joy, beauty, and the creation of lasting memories that are anything but bittersweet.
