Most Russian residents are looking forward to summer. At this time, people swim, enjoy the sun and green nature, and go hiking. But the most important thing is that in the summer, and especially in July, when it is already warm, you can celebrate your wedding well, because at this time of year the celebration can be held outdoors.
How to choose the best day for a wedding in July
A July wedding is considered a classic. After all, so many couples prefer painting this month.
Some people like the opportunity to hold a festive celebration outdoors. Some people choose July to go on a honeymoon to the sea immediately after the wedding.
And, definitely, July is the ideal time to bring your wildest wedding ideas to life.
After all, you don’t need to hide from the piercing wind, provide up to 5 outfit options, not knowing what vagaries the weather will bring on the day of painting. And the rich selection of flowers, berries, and vegetables in July play an important role when choosing the time for a wedding.
Despite all its advantages, a June wedding has a number of features that must be taken into account when preparing.
But we start preparing, as usual, by choosing a suitable date. And here there may be a radically different approach. It all depends on the views and priorities of the young. And sometimes the opinion of relatives plays an important role when making such an important decision.
If you delve into all the folk, church, lunar, zodiac, numerological and other wedding calendars, then there will only be one or two dates left that will satisfy all the requirements.
And this number is not always acceptable for newlyweds. Or perhaps you simply don’t like the sound of it, or other circumstances will immediately exclude it from the possible list.
Therefore, it is worth remembering that no signs, stars, or advice from complete strangers can play a fundamental role in the future scenario of family life.
Only true love, sincere feelings can lead a man and woman through all life’s difficulties, preserving both their face and warm relationships.
But it is still worth getting acquainted with the arguments of astrologers, as well as the advice of the church and people. After all, behind such arguments lies centuries-old wisdom.
April zebra
Who is not familiar with the fickle weather in April: sometimes it’s sunny and warm, sometimes it’s cool and even frosty. This is roughly how the prospects for the family life of a girl who decides to get married this month are depicted. In other words, her life, like the color of a zebra, will consist of alternating white and black stripes. Whether this is good or bad is not for us to judge: after all, there are many people who do not like a measured life and cannot live without “adrenaline”. But there is no doubt that the April newlyweds will not be bored for the rest of their lives...
Favorable days for a wedding in July according to the folk calendar
July is also a hot time for various works. Agree, it is in July that work in fields and gardens, on construction sites and in other areas is in full swing. Therefore, the month justifiably received the name of the most hardworking one. And only the incredible heat could force us to pause and take a breath. But time does not wait, and a short respite is again followed by a new stage of work, which seems to have no end.
So it is in the family life of July couples. Their happiness and well-being will be directly proportional to the efforts they put in.
It will simply be full of constantly changing black and white stripes.
Therefore, times of enjoying shared happiness will be replaced by periods when the couple will have to work hard to overcome problems and get out of situations with minimal losses.
And only mutual understanding, respect for each other, support and mutual assistance will help not only resolve all complex issues, but also strengthen family relationships.
Since all nations valued hard work and patience, experienced people advised young people to get married in July. This month is simply intended to sweep away everything superficial, invented, and feigned in the family being created. But it will help those whose love is sincere to find happiness, and those who are in love are ready to go through fire and water for each other.
Therefore, those couples who doubt their decision should not sign in July. The same advice applies to marriages of convenience, fictitious and spontaneously created.
In addition, all lovers who decide to create a strong family are patronized by Saints Peter and Fevronya in July. A church and calendar holiday is dedicated to this unique couple, not equal in social status, but who managed to preserve their love until their death. The Day of Family, Love and Fidelity is celebrated on July 8th. It is on this day that many couples try to get married. There is simply a rush in the registry offices - the 8th is booked by young people almost a year in advance.
On this day, you can meet wedding processions rushing to bow to the monument to the patrons of the family, in the hope of finding the same unearthly love.
But how good is this day for painting? Indeed, in the folk calendar, many signs and advice are ambiguous.
Folk and church wedding beliefs
- For our ancestors, midsummer was the busiest time in a long series of field work. As soon as some agricultural worries ended, others immediately replaced them. So the life of the July newlyweds will “throw up” one problem after another all their lives, alternating light and dark stripes. As in rural work, the final result will be proportional to the effort expended in overcoming difficulties.
- However, there are also positive aspects to a “striped” marriage. After all, only by overcoming difficulties together will lovers be able to truly know and appreciate each other, unite into a strong family union, not subject to any everyday adversity.
- July marriages are based primarily on the hard work of both parties. Therefore, they should be concluded only by people whose feelings are strong and sincere, who are ready to selflessly give a lot of mental strength for the sake of general well-being. But for unions of convenience, the July marriage will inevitably turn into a complete fiasco, as it will very quickly reveal everything superficial and false in the relationship.
- A happy omen for July spouses is the loss of an object during the wedding. This sign of fate is very symbolic, as it means that providence appropriated it as payment for the guaranteed well-being of the newly created family.
- Our ancestors advised the July bride to have a good cry before the wedding. It was believed that this way she would be able to cry all her tears in advance, so that she would never be upset again in her family life.
- The couple in love tried to ensure that the day of the wedding ceremony fell between the main field and garden work. And this was done not only for practical reasons. It was believed that walking during a general holiday would make future marriage just as easy and fun. Nowadays, an alternative may be vacations or weekends.
- An indispensable component of any wedding beliefs are weather signs. And the July celebration in this sense is also no exception. An unexpected downpour in the middle of a hot day was especially desirable. After all, it meant that the newlyweds would certainly get rich soon after the wedding.
- The central summer month is also notable for the fact that July 8th marks the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity (Day of Saints Peter and Fevronya) - patrons of the hearth and strong family unions. Lovers who manage to unite their destinies on this holiday will be guaranteed the support of an amazing married couple for the rest of their lives.
- However, for people who are serious about religious customs, the first ten days of July will be inaccessible for weddings due to Peter's Fast. It always ends only by July 12 - Peter and Paul Day and is long enough to not count on a church ceremony even at the very beginning of the month.
- Even if, due to religious traditions, you were not able to get married in the first half of July, you should not be upset about this. After all, according to popular belief, the second and third ten days of the month will be much more favorable for concluding a marriage. The celebration itself will take place calmly and measuredly, without unnecessary complications and worries, and the future life of the young people will proceed in harmony and tranquility.
- July weddings also have a negative side. Due to the holiday season, it will be quite difficult to gather all your family and loved ones together. In addition, there is a high probability of unexpected failures, which adds confusion and unnecessary costs.
Wedding in July: dates and tips
If you decide to get married immediately after the painting, you should choose a date that is permitted by the church. Therefore, the idea of scheduling a wedding on the beautiful July 8th is unlikely to be successful.
It is in July that Petrov's Fast falls, when weddings are not held. The end date of this long fast always falls on July 12, when Peter and Paul Day is celebrated. But it begins every year on different days, depending on the date of Easter. Quite rarely, the beginning of Petrov's fast falls on July dates. Therefore, the first decade of July completely falls out of the wedding church calendar.
But starting from July 13, you can safely choose a suitable date. Just keep in mind that the wedding ceremony is not performed on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
The most favorable days for a wedding will be Fridays and Sundays after the 13th.
Considering that there are only 4 such favorable days in July, sometimes 6, you will have to deal with the issue of choosing a church in advance. You need to talk with the priest about a convenient time for a certain date, and you will also have to clarify how many couples will be there on that day and the time to get married.
Often, due to the influx of applicants, churches organize the simultaneous wedding of several couples. This approach is not prohibited by church canons, but the ceremony itself loses its solemnity. Agree, a wedding is not just a beautiful ceremony, it is a sacrament of the union of two hearts. Therefore, it will be much better if such a ceremony is dedicated to only two people, and not to a series of people wishing to do so.
Beautiful dates and favorable days
Depending on the day chosen for registering a marriage, you can predict the likely outcome of the solemn event and happiness in future family life.
According to the lunar calendar, July is a happy month and will be a good start to a new life for young couples. Astrologers note the period from July 5 to July 19 as the most successful time period for marriage. This time corresponds to a new, waxing moon, which will bring strengthening of feelings and harmony within the relationship to future newlyweds.
The second half of July falls under the influence of Mars and Venus, which means a successful start to family relationships and the absence of quarrels for young couples. You should avoid registering a marriage on the days of the full moon - July 27, so as not to harm future family happiness. The best days , according to astrologers, are the 15th, 20th and 23rd.
Favorable days according to the church calendar refer to periods excluding fasting times. It will be possible to get married in July 2021 after the 11th (Petrov's fast will end). Exceptions are Fridays and Saturdays, as they are considered fast periods. There are no other restrictions on the wedding; the couple will be able to make a promise before God on any day convenient for the celebration.
Lucky dates according to the lunar wedding calendar for July
Understanding astrological forecasts without the help of a specialist is even more difficult than dealing with church recommendations.
Not only do you need to take into account the phase of the moon, you also have to ask how the stars influence the personal horoscope of the young. The position of the stars, and even the day of the week, also play an important role in choosing the appropriate date.
As for general recommendations, astrologers advise choosing numbers that fall on the days of the waxing moon.
It is during these periods that the heavenly body will ensure the growth of well-being in the new family, and its growing energy will strengthen feelings and harmoniously place accents.
It would be a good idea to check the position of Venus on the selected day. This star is one of the main ones responsible for love relationships and family unions.
Signs
Well, if we talk about signs, then marriage in any summer month brings joy and warmth to the spouses. As for July, according to popular belief, “a wedding in July means life is sweet and sour.” In other words, the spouses will retain both sweet memories and sadness about their lives, since the wedding in July will give the new family equal parts happy and bitter moments.
They also say that a wedding in July will quite possibly lead to regrets about getting married soon and disappointments in family life.
Astrologers believe that one should not believe this destiny literally, because July is the most suitable month for a wedding. According to their predictions, new joys will constantly appear in the new family.
The treasure trove of folk traditions and experience—the wedding calendar—says that every month of the year is considered the most favorable for marriage. Specifically about July it is said that it will bring harmony and balance to the newlywed family.
At the same time, the most optimal date for weddings is July 13th. On this day, saying “yes” means: “I am with you forever – in sickness and in health, in sorrows and joys, in poverty and prosperity.” Even after 50 years of marriage, looking into each other’s eyes, the spouses will repeat the same words that they said on their wedding day.
Although, by and large, does it matter which month of the year to choose for the wedding if the bride and groom truly love each other? Well, omens are the lot of superstitious people. The main thing is to preserve in the whirlpool of passions and everyday troubles that great and important feeling that was born between two loving hearts.
Beautiful and successful dates in July for a wedding
If it doesn’t matter to the newlyweds what astrologers and experts on wedding signs recommend, they can choose any convenient date in July.
Better yet, choose a beautiful date. Many newlyweds go exactly this way, believing that the most successful day for a wedding will be a date that is visually beautiful.
These include days in which the same numbers are repeated or alternated.
For example, in 2021 these numbers will be:
- 07.2019 – Sunday;
- 07.2019 – Saturday;
- 07.2019 – Sunday;
- 07.2019 – Wednesday;
- 07.2019 – Saturday.
Just keep in mind that such dates will only be relevant on the wedding day. They will lose their visual charm in a year, five years, when you celebrate a chintz wedding or your first wooden anniversary.
Venue and decor
The summer months provide a special advantage for wedding celebrations. After all, if the weather is good, you can choose an open area, an estate, a garden, a park, or a motor ship to celebrate.
Of course, when choosing a place for a banquet, you must first of all be guided by the number of invited guests. But mid-summer provides an opportunity to diversify your choice thanks to excellent weather and the virtual absence of stormy days. It is not difficult to choose favorable days for a wedding in July.
One of the ideas for celebrating the holiday for newlyweds would be to organize a ceremony area or tent in nature. This could be a picturesque place in a park area or on the territory of a holiday home.
Very often, such areas are popular when there are children among the guests, because on a summer day it is much easier for them to organize a separate children’s program and set up a children’s table in nature.
A video and photography professional can beautifully capture the celebration against the backdrop of nature. Wedding photographs against the backdrop of trees, flowering beds and gardens look just right.
What style is the most beautiful wedding in July? Summer is the opportunity to organize any type of celebration. It can be a classic celebration or a celebration stylized for a certain era. In the fresh air, surrounded by elegant guests and tables, with beautiful table settings - the gala event already brings with it many happy moments.
Tables for a summer wedding can be set in any formal way. If we consider a celebration in a green area, then it looks beautiful to create a special area with small tables that allow guests to be seated in small groups. This is convenient if there are relatives and friends among the invitees. Colleagues, both from the bride's and groom's side.
It is beautiful to decorate tables for a July wedding with fresh flowers, because summer is a symbol of everything blooming and natural. Freshly cut small compositions look especially beautiful on elegant tablecloths, for example, with ornaments or plain ones.
The color of the tablecloth can be any. Often, several colors of napkins and tablecloths are used to decorate wedding tables, creating a particularly elegant atmosphere.
For wedding invitations, you can choose the theme of summer, sun, flowering plants. It looks beautiful to use not only invitations made of cardboard, similar to a postcard, but also those made using fabric, decorated with braid. The style of invitation depends on the chosen theme for the wedding.
Wedding in July: folk signs
And now it has come - the most important, happiest day in the lives of lovers. Today they are starting their family, despite the busy registry office, the incredible heat and the resistance of relatives who were going to spend the middle of summer on the seashore.
And what do folk signs tell about a wedding in July?
July is usually a fairly hot month, when rain is very rare. Therefore, the newlyweds are counting on good weather.
But don’t be upset if clouds suddenly roll in and it starts to rain.
This is a good omen and promises material well-being for the young. And if it just starts to rain, expect quick wealth.
But a stormy wind on a wedding day warns of the frivolity of one of the spouses.
They interpret folk signs and the time of painting in an interesting way. Boundless happiness awaits the newlyweds who signed their wedding after dinner.
It is in July that you can choose unusual days for painting: Sunday or Saturday. Having a wedding on Monday means wealth. Tuesday will protect young people and their future children from any ailments. But on Wednesday it’s worth getting drunk if a happy marriage is your priority.
Ideas for a July wedding photo shoot
Summer is the ideal time for a photo shoot . And the place for it must be chosen by the newlyweds themselves:
- Romantic picnic. You don’t have to go outside the city to do this, because many parks are landscaped and neat, and can be used as a backdrop for a picnic.
- Near the haystacks. It is possible that they exist in your area. If it is difficult to find hay, then you can conduct a photo shoot in the field.
- In the forest. The photographer will be able to turn an ordinary forest into a fairy-tale one or simply capture nature with the newlyweds - all according to their wishes.
You can place a flower boutonniere in the groom's pocket, and weave a wreath of wildflowers for the bride. It is not necessary to photograph the bridesmaids in a semicircle - you can “catch” the funniest moment and capture it.
Photo shoot for a wedding in July with glasses
A good idea is to use stylish glasses for the bridesmaids and all your close friends. Glasses can be replaced with bright umbrellas in the shape of a heart or even made of paper. The main thing is that the overall picture will be bright and interesting. Balloons may well become props for a photo shoot. Despite the fact that they are quite boring as decoration for the hall, in the fresh air, in combination with nature, their red and yellow variations will look bright. The size of the balls may vary.
Hearts, mustaches and other accessories on a stick are still in fashion Turntables will also decorate the photo session - they are inexpensive and at the same time will decorate the photos. The newlyweds can hold a frame (of flowers or other accessories) and take photos together. For the most romantic, a photo shoot with a swing mounted on a tree is suitable. It’s not difficult to make them - many people probably have this experience. The swing can be decorated with doves and other suitable accessories.
Signs with inscriptions or surnames are popular . Berries (strawberries, cherries) and various fruits go well with green nature. Newlyweds can feed each other during photography.
Features of preparing for a wedding in July
So, the decision has been made, the wedding date in July has been chosen.
But it turns out that there are so many people who want to join their destinies in the middle of summer that registry offices simply cannot cope with the influx. Therefore, all plans may simply collapse, since all suitable dates will already be booked.
In addition, many people want to get married in the afternoon in July to avoid the midday heat.
If you don’t want to get married on Tuesday or rush to the registry office right when it opens, book the date as early as possible. And we are not talking about the expected month, but at least six months.
Alternatively, you can sign at township or rural offices.
This approach is good in its own way for those who have the opportunity to independently transform the room where the ceremony will take place.
Or an outdoor painting is planned with further celebration in the forest, on the seashore. In this case, it will be much easier to agree with the registry office employees on organizing such a ceremony.
Wedding in July: signs by day of the week
According to signs, it is recommended to celebrate a wedding in July on the weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday are considered successful for holding a celebration - on these days the newlyweds are patronized by higher powers. And on weekdays you should be careful, otherwise you may inadvertently anger the heavenly angels.
This is what celebration promises on weekdays:
- Monday
. Not favorable for marriage because it is ruled by the Moon. This day is considered difficult, emotional and changeable. Therefore, marriages registered at the beginning of the week are rarely strong. Usually lovers are faced with a series of problems that they are unable to cope with. - Tuesday
. Mars is the patron here. The symbol is contradictory. It portends both positive changes and problems. Mostly difficulties will arise in the financial sector. Perhaps one of the newlyweds will be fired from their job. Funds for subsistence will run out, and the spouses will need help from loved ones.
Since Mars at the same time symbolizes positive changes, the black streak will soon end. In less than a couple of months, the head of the family will receive a highly paid position.
3. Wednesday
ruled by Mercury, the patron of business negotiations. This day is unfavorable for a wedding, but excellent for organizing it. In the middle of the week, it is worth resolving all issues related to the celebration: agreeing on a banquet, choosing costumes for the bride, groom and guests.
4. Thursday
is under the protection of Jupiter. Like Wednesday, it is considered an excellent day for solving organizational issues. On this day it is also recommended to make plans for a life together. That is, choosing a place for a honeymoon, thinking about moving to another apartment.
Unlike Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, it is still possible to hold a celebration on Thursday. The main thing is to show up at the registry office before noon. According to popular belief, a wedding in July will bring good luck to the newlyweds. Their family life will be calm and happy.
5. Friday
calls it the day of Venus - a symbol of female beauty and longevity. Therefore, at the end of the working week it is worth taking care of yourself. You can go for a massage, have a spa treatment at home, or meet with loved ones. Such a vacation will relax you before the big day.
Since Friday is closer to the weekend, getting married on this day does not bode well. However, you should not invite distant relatives to the wedding. There is an opinion that they can spoil the newlyweds.
