It probably goes without saying, that it is considered unlucky to have a wedding on Friday 13th! As it Friday 13th is one of the most widespread superstitions, you could even find yourself struggling to find certain suppliers who have to attend the wedding such as caterers or wedding photographers! In olden times it was considered lucky to have your wedding early during the week, with Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday being the luckiest, and Saturday was considered to have ‘no luck at all’. These days most weddings do take place on Saturdays, as weekends are easier for most guests.
If you do choose to have your wedding on Friday 13th, you could have a theme of ‘good luck superstitions’ and decorate your venue with horseshoes and four leaf clovers. A colour scheme of green and silver would work well with that, and give you plenty of scope for using plenty of greenery in your bouquets and table decorations, with a few white flowers such as roses or lillies as accents.
In other cultures, the number thirteen isn’t considered as unlucky as it is here, in fact the chinese regard it as a lucky number, so an alternative would be to have a chinese theme, with chinese lanterns and some well-researched characters used as symbols throughout the venue.
And as an added bonus, there would be less chance of forgetting your wedding anniversary!
