Fall Weddings


Fall is one of the most popular times to plan a wedding--and for a good reason. Gorgeous natural foliage and temperate weather make for great fall weddings. But for all of autumn's positive attributes, there are still potential issues you will need to keep in mind while planning your event.
First, keep in mind that if your guests are to be comfortable at your afternoon ceremony, they need to be prepared for the temperature to drop during the evening hours. You might arrange bins of inexpensive wraps at the reception entrance or set up patio heaters in outdoor areas where guests will congregate. You could even embrace the season with a few fire pits and for fun have a smore's bar for guests to relax and enjoy.
Another common obstacle is fall flowers. Though many popular wedding blooms are not in season during this time of year, this is the perfect opportunity to get creative with a fall wedding bouquet. Incorporate unexpected plants such as wheat, crabapples, and ornamental vegetables.
Finally, remember to do your research when selecting your wedding date. There are many holidays during the fall--including Labor Day, Thanksgiving and the Jewish high holidays--but by doing your research you can help your guests avoid scheduling conflicts.
