Latest figures from Statistics New Zealand show February is still the most popular month for nuptials - 610 couples were married on February 24, 2007 alone - but winter months are growing in popularity. Wedding industry players say a lack of top-notch venues and two-year waiting lists for a Saturday booking could make this winter the busiest yet chan luu bracelets.
Johnny Mantell, director of Mt Eden function venue Mantell's, said prospective brides and grooms who wanted a Saturday wedding were constantly turned away.
While the wedding season typically ran from September to March lululemon sale, Mantell said couples with their hearts set on a particular venue would take whatever booking was available - even after work in winter.
"It's become quite standard chan luu logo. People want to secure a Friday or a Saturday http://www.lvbagsjp2013.com, but when those days aren't available, they go from there hermes belt," said Mantell http://www.monteemare.com.

"I had to dig a hole in the snow one day, looking for one of the bride's strappy shoes," said Cook tiffany blue nikes.
"We had wanted a Saturday but ringing around it became very obvious very quickly we wouldn't be able to get a good venue at such short notice. We would have had to wait a year or so," said Desbonnets vanessa bruno. "In the end we thought what's actually stopping us from getting married during the week? Everyone can just finish work and then come to a wedding afterwards."
