Planning a fall wedding can be a beautiful experience while providing some hard bumps along the road. Autumn is when the air turns cool and crisp, with vibrant colors and beguiling scents to make a special season. It’s hardly surprising that so many couples choose to tie the knot in the fall.
Planning a Fall Wedding: Things to Consider
If you and your special someone are planning a fall wedding, you’re in good company! The season is tailor-made for such a momentous event, and you will surely have many happy memories to share.
But before you send out invitations, it might be a good idea to think about the finer points of planning a fall wedding and ensuring its success. Hopefully, you already have personal insurance to protect you from personal liability in case of unforeseen events. But what about the weather, color themes, and floral designs?
Here we go over some of the oft-neglected aspects of planning a fall wedding. Read on to find out how to guarantee the success of this most wonderful of occasions!
Weather Considerations
When planning a fall wedding, make sure to account for the autumn weather. Although it won’t be as cold as winter, expect a chill in the air. It likely depends on your location. For example, the temperatures might be warmer in places such as Florida. In Arizona, conditions might be a bit nippier but still tolerable.
In any case, keep track of any changes in the weather and plan accordingly. Also, remind your guests to dress appropriately and prepare for an alternate indoor location if you’re planning on holding the ceremony outdoors.
Planning Your Color Palette
Deciding on your color palette is perhaps one of the most accessible aspects of planning a fall wedding. You only have to look outside to realize that warm and fiery colors are the order of the day. We’re talking pumpkin oranges, dark reds, deep browns, creamy beiges, and anything and everything in between.
But don’t stop there. No rule says you must stick to the tried-and-proven fall colors of the leaves and shrubbery. Why not add some gold or copper for a more elegant and glamorous accent or olive greens and plum tones for contrast? Taking your inspiration from the traditional fall colors and adding your own unique touches could be just what you need to kick your theme up a notch.
Fall Wedding Floral Arrangements
Flowers are essential elements of any matrimonial celebration, and fall weddings are no different. Many traditional favorites bloom all year-’round, but “in-season” options might be the ticket to an impressive array.
Here are some flower options to consider for your fall wedding:
- Dahlias: These have a deep burgundy hue that is perfect for a wedding bouquet.
- Garden Roses: A gorgeous and striking alternative to peonies.
- Anemones: Adds a sophisticated touch to any bouquet.
- Marigolds: A perfect match for an autumn color theme.
- Sunflowers: Adds welcome brightness and freshness to your floral arrangements.
- Protea: Makes for a unique bridal bouquet.
There are many good reasons to hold your wedding in the fall, from the temperate weather to the picturesque foliage. The ready availability of season-inspired décor also makes it easy to come up with gorgeous settings and arrangements without spending too much money. And with the peak wedding season having just passed, you can get great deals on venues, vendors, and wedding planners.
