Best time to get married in Sicily
Spring
Who doesn’t love spring? The season of colors and beautiful smells, when everything seems delightful. The spring adds its additional charm to the beautiful Sicily. The gardens become lush green, the flowers bloom everywhere and the Mediterranean feels calm. Spring would make your Sicily wedding more memorable by adding more colors to your photographs.
Summer
Summers are best to enjoy on an island and choose a coastal venue for your wedding. The breezy ocean winds, the warm water, and the clear blue sky make it perfect to have an outdoor Sicily wedding. The people can also enjoy dipping in the Mediterranean Sea of Sicily due to the perfect weather in summer.
Autumn
Similar to spring, autumn is also the perfect season to have a Sicily wedding due to the moderate temperature. Autumn is not colorless it gives its own beautiful brown and orange hues in photographs which looks stunning. You can still enjoy a dip in the Mediterranean in autumn and not feel too cold.
Winter
If you have a tight budget and want to cut down some expenses, then winter is the best time to have a Sicily wedding. The tickets usually cost low and there are fewer tourists at the places which means you can the place all on your own. The winters in Sicily aren’t too cold and the weather is still warm and delightful.
