When to Elope in Finland
Finland is gorgeous anytime of year – but most people associate it with the snow and cold weather, so if winter isn’t your thing, you can still elope in Finland! Here’s what you can expect throughout the year.
WINTER
Winter is dark and cold, but the landscapes are incredibly beautiful. Snow covers most of the country, and you can ski, ice skate, snowmobile, or snowshoe the trails! It’s stunning, and if you want to elope in a winter wonderland, Finland is perfect. Winter is also the best time to see the Northern Lights, because it’s darker.
SPRING
Northern Finland is colder than the south part of the country, so while spring usually starts around April in the south, the north is usually covered in snow until summer begins! Spring is a great time to hike and explore in the south, or in the north if you want to experience the snow in warmer temperatures than winter.
SUMMER
Summer is magical in Finland – the weather is warm and sunny, and the landscapes are vibrant, blooming with wildflowers. The days are long (in the north, the sun doesn’t set at all in June!), so this is the best time to elope in Finland if you want to hike and enjoy the outdoors. It’s the busiest time of year, as locals and visitors flock to the cottages and parks.
FALL
The fall foliage makes this time of year great for a Finland elopement! It’s also less popular for travelers, so this can be a good way to avoid crowds. It does start getting cold pretty fast, especially in the north where snow usually starts falling in October.
