What to consider when choosing a wedding date
In addition to the phases of the Moon and the position of Venus, the planet of love, do not forget about folk signs that will help you conclude a successful marriage.
According to popular beliefs, a wedding in August will bring happiness if it takes place before the start of the Dormition Lent, that is, before August 14th. In this case, the new family will find harmony and blessings from heaven. For believers, this is a good sign and great support.
Note to brides: no matter how hot it is on August days, choose shoes with a closed toe and heel. It would be better if they were classic pumps, without holes. Otherwise, the family budget will leak through the holes in the shoes and it will be difficult to achieve prosperity.
For a long time, newlyweds put a new coin in their shoes - this attracted wealth to their future family. The coins cannot be removed until the end of the ceremony. Ideally, you should wear them throughout your wedding day.
If a bride, getting ready for her wedding, heard the beautiful singing of wild birds outside the window, then her family life will be very successful and her marriage will be happy.
The frowning August sky foreshadows trials for the new family. However, fate can be deceived - you need to attach a brooch with a diamond to the bride’s dress and the groom’s boutonniere. This stone will ward off all troubles and predict a pure wedding with the most favorable consequences.
In August, it is the season for watermelons, pears, apples and peaches - these fruits should be on the table and both the bride and groom should try a piece of them. In this case, the marriage will be “sweet” like these fruits. Our ancestors believed that by decorating their holiday with the gifts of nature, they attracted her attention and favor.
Unexpected rain, when the wedding is soaked to the skin in August, portends extraordinary happiness for the young family. And all guests can expect the most wonderful events in their lives within 1 month after such a “wet” wedding. Rain cleanses of negativity and gives pure water energy for great achievements.
In August, at a wedding, newlyweds must feed each other apples and honey to attract the “sweet” life.
Wedding menu in August
There are signs for a wedding in August that relate to the festive feast and decoration of the celebration. This month is famous for its harvest - a good sign is the presence of seasonal fruits and vegetables on the table and an abundance of natural decorations. In order to appease the heavenly forces, you can decorate the restaurant with fresh flowers, as well as put on wreaths and do not neglect delicate wildflowers in the bride’s bouquet. This guarantees that the forces of nature will pay attention to your union and generously bestow their favor on the newlyweds.
August is the month of the Honey and Apple Savior, so it’s worth paying attention to apples and honey treats on the wedding table. According to ancient beliefs, apples with honey make family life sweet and happy.
But remember that in fact, no signs or superstitions can destroy your marriage if you really love each other. Everyone chooses what to believe individually, and therefore even bad omens will not be able to affect your family if you avoid them. A wedding in August from the MONA Boutique Hotel is a celebration with scope and pomp that corresponds to the signs of this month. There is an abundance of fresh fruit on the tables, we use fragrant flowers to decorate the hall, and a walk through our indoor park will provide successful locations for a wedding photo shoot.

Signs associated with a wedding dress
We choose by tone.
- When choosing a red outfit, you should know that the sign says that celebrating a wedding in such a dress can bring quarrels and suffering to your new family. This outfit can be worn on the second day of the holiday if the bride is pregnant, since the red color is a kind of protection for the unborn child from unkind eyes.
- You can wear a pink dress because it means your life with your new husband will be long and happy.
- You should not choose a gray or silver tone for a wedding dress, as it symbolizes a quick divorce, so they say that if you wear such a dress, then your divorce is not far off.
- When wearing a green outfit, you need to know that there will always be financial problems in your home.
- You should not give preference to a blue dress, as this will mean that your feelings may cool off very early.
But, no matter what you choose, you shouldn’t get too hung up on these signs. But in any case, it's up to you to decide.
