The answer does not refer to your chronological age (by the way, did you know that according to surveys conducted by ISTAT has moved far forward than twenty years ago 30 years for women, 32 for man?) or at the time when you will reach maturity and awareness such as deciding to take the plunge. It refers instead to those periods of the year and days of the week when you will feel better to get married. Lately it seems that the definition of the wedding day, if it does not correspond to a special occasion (for example, the day of the engagement), is subject to the availability to the location chosen that suit, spouses evaluate free date and take the fateful decision at a later time.
That said, here is some food for you.
The seasons and the months of the year
Of the twelve months that you can take, will set the date almost certainly in the spring and summer, especially between May and September. The "laggards" will focus on in October while the hasty "will open the season in April.
The reasons for these choices are due to weather conditions and milder, in some cases, the need to match the honeymoon with the holidays working.
April-September
We advise you not consider August, at least in the regions of Northern Italy, because it is a holiday period and most of the guests could not roll call.
Different is the scenario that lies ahead in the southern regions,places of tourism. Those who live in the south could get married in their homeland in August because almost all the guests and especially the friends of the north can take advantage of the summer holidays.
The summer brings undeniable advantages the opportunity to celebrate outdoors, both for lunch and dinner, hoping for a warm sunny day, rich scents; enjoy relaxation areas dotted with cushions, comfortable chairs and sofas in the shade of large trees; torches lit at sunset and a selection of seasonal flowers for floral arrangements. Imagine the compositions made with tulips, the fleshy peonies in pastel shades, and even the daffodils, the most classic orchids, carnation and lily of the valley.
In Conclusion, from the point of view of the success, Also scenic and floral, seems to be the best choice.
Attention to April because the weather is still too uncertain. The spring storms are likely to threaten the party; the winds carry clouds laden with rain and temperatures sometimes are more like those late autumn. So this month is not recommended especially in the North, unless you decide a priori to make the refresh pong, in the inner rooms.

October
If your choice will fall on October, you can count, at least for some years to this part, on a fairly mild climate, sunny days still warm and a light evening breeze. Dinner, especially if outdoors, gives way to lunch and nature Cobra autumnal tints, hot and intense: from red to yellow maple vine from wild berries in autumn fruits like pomegranates or curly chestnut, bunches of grapes, strawberry trees or flowers like dahlias The farm. with its red brick and cozy interior, is preferred to the sumptuous villa for the atmosphere more intimate and warm.
November to March
Green light for marriages celebrated in winter, albeit less frequent, enjoy a special charm: if on one side the weather is bad and the prohibitive temperatures, the other, the fireplace warms the interior of the villas and the whiteness of the snow illuminates the party which becomes a meeting protected and cozy.
Can you imagine a bride with long gloves or a sleeve of white fur and soft cashmere on the shoulders? And yet, think of the floral arrangements made with white gypsophila, hellebore white (or pink Christmas) combined with maidenhair, moss and red berries or even compositions with citrus. Among the favorites are months especially in December, perhaps because of the proximity to Christmas, and February.
And… married on Thursday?
Friday and Saturday are the days of the week there for the celebration of the wedding. Saturdays in particular, both morning and late afternoon, coincides with a public holiday and encourages guests to participate in numerous. The Sunday,, once dedicated to the celebration of the rite of marriage, today it has become the day of harvest for the congregation and, in the case of the civil ceremony, the closing of the town hall.
Otherwise, choosing the evening of Friday, What you will do very welcome guests who will have the whole weekend. Invitation to the popular saying, therefore,, that certainly all know, "Of venus and mars neither marry nor are part”.
If you decide instead to days other than those mentioned above, such as Tuesday or Thursday, you may have some economic advantage: the owners of the location, already booked on Saturday with a year in advance, are willing to give a discount to those who decide to use the local weekdays, normally empty. The same applies to the catering company and everything that revolves around the organization of the big day. You may also not have tight budget constraints or want something different, that engages the departure date for the trip or - more simply - to want the wedding on the day of the anniversary of the engagement. We recommend, however, to consider the needs and problems of the guests who may have to ask for more days off from work…
Avoid, if you can, also given as the 6 January, day of the Epiphany, the 1 April or 15 August. Guests may arise clothes with strange skirts, do not show up at all or, taking advantage of the summer heat, decide to end the party with a swim in the pool. all clothes, including spouses!
Lastly, very popular, albeit equally inflated, the day of St. Valentine, feast of love.
