The changing colors of the fall leaves makes a beautiful backdrop for autumn weddings. The stifling heat of summer can be challenging for outdoor weddings. Hard to keep your cool amongst wedding jitters when temperatures are soaring. Inspired by the beauty of the changing season, we’ve got some tips for planning an autumn wedding next season.
Location
Fall is always a beautiful time to take a scenic drive. Enjoy this time and use it as an inspiration to find ideas for your wedding. Where would you love to have your wedding ceremony? Think about where you would want to have your wedding day photos. Will the photos be at a separate location from the ceremony and reception? Ask friends and family for suggestions. Look at local magazines or online for ideas on scenic drives that may shed light on some on gems of new locations you have never seen before. This is a great time to take engagement photos that can be used for wedding invitations, so you can carry the autumn theme throughout the planning stages of your wedding. Are there fall activities that you could incorporate into the wedding day festivities such as hay rides, corn mazes, or even Halloween flourishes?
The Color and Style of the Season
The beauty of autumn can be an inspiration throughout your wedding planning stages. You can use the beautiful palette of rich autumn red, orange and yellow colors throughout the design process - from invitations to wedding day signs, to dresses and bouquets. Think about seasonal foods for the reception menu - and even presents for wedding guests. Imagine a cute basket of fall foods such as maple syrup, apple, apple cider, pumpkin cream muffins as a gift for wedding guests. The dinner menu can include flourishes such as butternut squash soup, maple-glazed crusted salmon, and, of course, pumpkin pie. Take time to explore fall cooking recipes and look for inspiration within the fall harvest.
Attire
If you will be making the most of the outdoor splendor and getting married outside - make sure you plan a wardrobe that is versatile enough to add layers for you and your wedding party if the day is especially crisp. Will your dress have long sleeves or will you add a shawl or cute cardigan? Maybe even supply lap blankets for guests to use. Having an outdoor fire with hot apple cider for your guests to warm up around can be a cozy twist.
