Tips for Planning a Fall Wedding

Your wedding is a magical moment in your life. You and your lifelong partner are legally becoming a couple in the presence of your loved ones. It is one of the most exciting times of your life. You want your day to be as perfect as possible. This will require a lot of planning. You must find a venue, order food, rent tables, linens, and chairs, hire a DJ, find a wedding official, buy and send out wedding invites, and so much more. It can be quite overwhelming and there are many things to consider. The season is one thing to consider. The most popular times for weddings are spring and summer. That is because the weather tends to be more favorable. However, people also love to have fall weddings. Fall weddings can have cooler, more comfortable temperatures and the fall foliage can create some beautiful scenes for photos. Still, there is much that needs to be planned for and considered. Here are some tips for planning a fall wedding:

• Plan for All Weather: The fall season can have big swings in temperature and weather. It can be warm and sunny one day and cold and rainy the next. If your event is held, even partially, outdoors, you need to plan for all scenarios. Consider using wedding tents, having an indoor location as a backup, and checking your local weather forecasts in the days ahead of the event.

• Consider Your Color Scheme: Fall brings out many beautiful colors. Colors such as burgundy, burnt orange, and deep reds reflect the season well and are great for fall weddings.

• Select Your Entertainment: You and your guests expect and want to have fun at your wedding. Your live entertainment is crucial to this. Start looking for local live bands or DJs to handle your wedding’s entertainment.

• Pick Season-Themed Wedding Favors: Wedding favors are a simple, easy way to thank all your wedding guests for sharing your special day with you. Consider fall-themed goodies such as pies, apple cider mix, and scented candles.

• Find a Caterer: Your food is another important decision to make. You want something that will not break the bank, but still be delicious for all guests to enjoy. Consider finding a caterer that specializes in seasonal dishes such as soups and stews.
