10 TIPS FOR YOUR FALL WEDDINGS
Let’s face it. Fall weddings RULE! Why else would the busiest time of wedding season occur in the fall months between September and November. Maybe it’s the fact that the weather is still warm but those hot summer days are over. Perhaps it’s the foliage all around. The holidays are also a great plus to add to the excitement of your wedding. Read below for 10 tips to help make your fall wedding a smash hit!
1. Fall Themed Wedding Invites
To set the tone for your Fall wedding it’s great to start with your wedding invites. Pick wedding invites that highlight the season like pumpkin and apple picking themes, rustic floral patterns or cool colors accented with gold tones like this invite pictured above. You can see more wedding invites like these at Ink & Honey.
2. Wedding Venues With A Scenic View
Pick a wedding venue that either has a view or has an outdoor area where you can see the natural colors around you. Apple farms and scenic views with fireplaces fit the fall theme. Nothing says Fall like the natural colors from the outdoors. The picture above was taken at The Roxbury Barn & Estate in upstate NY.
3. Pick Your Fall Color Scheme
Decide on your color scheme. Just because it’s Fall doesn’t mean you have to have a rustic & charming decor if your style is more classic or modern. You can stay in your style realm when picking out your colors.
4. Get A Bonfire Going
If you have an outdoor area make sure to reserve heating lamps or get a bonfire going. Fall weather is unpredictable with temperatures ranging from Indian summers to very chilly.
5. Warm Favors For Your Guests
Help guests stay warm with favors they can use long after your wedding. Whether you pick a blanket or a sweater party favor, your guests can use them during your wedding to keep warm.
6. Consider Long Sleeves For Your Wedding Dress
Consider long sleeves for your wedding dress. You could also consider a fashionable cape. Fall weddings open up the possibilities for your style and wedding fashion ideas.
7. Choose Seasonal Flowers
Choose in season flowers for your alter, place settings and bouquets. There are so many colors to choose from that would compliment a rustic, modern or classic style.
8. Consider Wearing Your Hair Down
Wear your hair down for your Fall wedding. No need to worry about your hair getting frizzy from the humidity. Whether you wear your hair completely down or half up half down, this is an option you might only consider during the Fall or Winter depending on your hair texture.
9. Have A Pie Themed Dessert Course
Consider a pie theme for your wedding cake or dessert course. A pumpkin carrot cake might also do the trick for your wedding cake. Red velvet carrot cakes are also a delight. With so many fruits and veggies in season your possibilities are endless!
10. Include Holiday Music For Your DJ To Play
Include holiday music on your DJ’s playlist. Nothing says celebration like holiday music at your wedding! Depending on the month you can include everything from Halloween music to Christmas music. Your wedding playlist can vary through ceremony, cocktail, dinner and reception.
