Tips for Planning a Fall Wedding



Although I hate to admit it, fall is right around the corner. Soon the trees will be turning from green to a gorgeous array of red and golds, the weather will cool and the pumpkins will start to ripen. While I am totally sad to say goodbye to summer, fall does offer a spectacular time of the year to get married. If you are getting married or are thinking about getting married in the fall read on to learn about how to make the most of what mother nature has to offer during this time of year. 

Color Choices: 

You are planning your event during one of the most colorful times of year for nature. However, don't feel like you need to stick only to the "autumn" colors of brown, orange and red. Open your wedding pallet up to rich hues such as plum, navy, aubergine, or a dark ivory and compliment what mother nature already has to offer. If your set on using a fall hue such as orange or brown, try highlighting them with a fresh pop of color such as charcoal grey spiked with a blush pink or tangerine. 

Your Gown: 

Who says short wedding dresses are just for summer? This year, the knee length dress is in style for fall. With the trends pointing towards all things vintage, search out a dress that either has invisible neckline or tons of lace. Better yet. . find a deep ivory dress and pair it with a knock out, color spiked shoe. Worried about being too cold? Love will warm you. :)
