Outdoor April Wedding in Colorado

There's still a chance of snow in April, and the trees usually haven't started to bud quite yet, so they're either just starting to come to life, or they're still pretty bare.

View Quoted Comment Thanks, Erin. Colorado is so bipolar I don’t know if I’ll have sun, rain, or snow 😂 But I’m hoping the trees are at least beginning to bud.

Fingers crossed! I have a short video of me cleaning the snow off of my car in April because it was so strange for me to have that be a thing. My wedding may be in July, but it's in the mountains xD So we could also have the same weather issues. Although snow is a fairly minimal chance.

In my experience, it snows & rains a lot in April so I would assume there would be little to no leaves on trees (unless it's a pine tree or a different year round tree) and the grass would still be brown. I don't know what town you're planning in but it usually rains/snows 5+ days in April at least with a low right around freezing. Typically if trees begin to bud in April or May, a late freeze usually kills it off.

View Quoted Comment Thanks for your input. Snow is what I fear. We are trying to have an off season wedding to stay within our budget but I’m starting to think just waiting until further on in spring will be worth the money...

View Quoted Comment Further into spring might work, but November tends to still be pretty nice in Colorado too. It was 70 on thanksgiving recently, and a lot of places in Colorado still see it as the off-season.

View Quoted Comment I know but to time a bunch of things right we want it to be in April or May 😕

You for sure will not have leaves in April. There’s a good chance it’ll snow here.
