"While most mainstream media is still focused on June Wedding everything. Brides getting married in June and July are too busy to notice while September and October brides (the new June in many parts of the country) are too far into the planning to care. Wedding planning is now a 24/7, 365 proposition." says Kingsdorf who would love to see the media interview professionals and cover wedding planning articles year round.
Todays brides are planning farther in advance, looking for non-traditional months to make life easier, save as much as possible, and bathing more often.
