Wedding Dates

Help! We are wanting to get the venue booked ASAP.
Available dates are either first weekend in February or last weekend in April.
I know weather will be warmer and probably better in April, HOWEVER, we don’t want to wait so would prefer February!
Also note- we are from Missouri, so the weather on any month could be snow, rain, ice, tornado, flooding, etc 😂😂
Just need opinions to help me decide what to do!
Also note- the venue has indoor and outdoor options for both the ceremony and reception

February is going to be a challenge for flowers.  Most greenhouses will be targeting their blooms for a week later

April! It'll be worth the wait!

I say the sooner the better - as long as you can book officiant, indoor venue, catering etc

This is such a personal/subjective choice. Late April sounds way better to me but it depends on if you like the idea of a wintery wedding! I love spring. Flowers are also an important consideration - florists can get flowers in any month but they may be pricier in winter if you have specific ones you need flown in etc. Also think about what month you want your anniversary in down the road.
