And on the other hand, a popular sign says: «Marry in May - toil for the whole century». Therefore, many young couples do not risk a wedding this month. How justified are such fears, let's see.

A wonderful spring month is named after the Roman goddess of fertility Maya, the patroness of farmers and the protector of babies. Therefore, couples who played the wedding in May very quickly acquire healthy offspring.

If the main color is yellow, turquoise, cream or white, then accessories are selected in green tones. It is important to observe the style of the wedding and correctly place emphasis so that the design of the wedding hall is gentle, sophisticated, like spring itself.
Decorate the holiday tables with vases with bouquets of spring flowers: tulips, daffodils, lilies of the valley, hyacinths, lilacs. You can add flowering branches of trees to them. Flowers for a wedding are best taken in buds, because the month of May is a time of growth and development, youth and beauty. Porcelain and ceramic baubles, elegant candlesticks, will become a successful decoration of the banquet hall. Green tablecloths on tables in combination with beautiful snow-white dishes will look good.
The May wedding menu necessarily contains fresh vegetables, fruits and greens, which everyone has missed so much for the long months of winter. Dishes should not be too high-calorie; the number of heavy winter salads with mayonnaise should be reduced. Serve spring light snacks for meat and fish, and instead of a fatty sweet biscuit - an original fruit cake, cherries and strawberries on a dish.
In good weather, it will be the right decision to hold a banquet in nature - in a country house or in a country house where trees bloom, lots of fresh air and free space. Try to rent a beautiful two-story villa for a wedding overlooking the sea or an old castle in the forest for a few months.

What to go to a wedding in May
The image of the bride in May is associated with a young spring. Therefore, heavy wedding dresses with multilayer skirts and bright makeup will have to be abandoned. The bride’s outfit is sewn mainly from light, flowing fabric. It is good if she chooses a cropped model for the wedding, emphasizing beautiful legs. Nice shoes, barely noticeable makeup, a hairstyle decorated with fresh flowers - these are light touches to the portrait of the May bride.
The spring suit of the groom is traditionally light shades - gray, brown, beige, blue. In some regions where May is a hot month, the groom will be happy to wear a beautiful white outfit for the wedding. If the bride chose a light sleeveless dress for herself, the groom can wear a suit instead of a classic one without a jacket, but with a stylish vest. Be sure to decorate it with a bright tie and a boutonniere to match the bride's bouquet.
May wedding: reviews
Inna, 28 years old: «My girlfriend got married in the month of May, and was an amazing bride - sheer purity and innocence. She looked so organically on wedding photos! The guests were pleased with the spring weather, it was warm, had a lot of fun! With products only in the spring is hard, everything is expensive».
Lyudmila, 29 years old: «I don’t know if a bad omen played a role, but we parted after a year. Although, in my opinion, this is not a matter of signs. People get divorced often, no matter what month the wedding was. They themselves are to blame. And the mother-in-law also helped us, we lived with her. Young, my advice to you is to get married when you want, but live separately from your parents».
Olga, 30 years old: «Right! It is foolish to blame fate if you yourself have not saved your happiness. We played a wedding in May, and did not regret it a bit. I have the best husband. And I don’t believe that some stupid prejudices can destroy a family».
