When you think of a fall wedding, you might think rustic, and a red, orange, yellow and brown color scheme, but it can be much more
than that! When I think of a fall wedding, I of course think of the beautiful
changing leaves, and crisp fall air, but I also think of rich colors, and
hearty food!
Some couples think that since they are having a fall wedding, they need to have part or all of their wedding outdoors. In Ohio the weather is VERY unpredictable! If you have your wedding in early fall- september, and early october- you could have nice weather to be outside, but the leaves probably won't change by then. If you wait until mid-October into early November, you'll have a much better chance of beautiful fall leaves, but it could be 30 or 40 degrees and there could even be snow by then!! Everyone wants that perfect 60 degree day with the beautiful leaves, and the slight chill in the air. The chances of getting that are, unfortunately, very rare.
You can still have the feel of a fall wedding without being outside. Your centerpieces can have fall colors, you can have pumpkin flavored desserts, or your favors could be a delicious caramel apple. You can even have a "candy bar" where guest fill a bag with candy! It's like adult trick-or-treating! YUM!!
Fall weddings have always been a very popular time to get married. If you’re having a fall wedding, don’t think that you have
to have bales of hay, pumpkins, and burlap. It also doesn't mean you have to have a halloween themed wedding!!
Instead of putting your bridal party in orange, try plum! Orange, yellow, and red flowers will
really pop!

As you can clearly see I LOVE fall! It's my favorite time of the year! If you can't/don't want to have your wedding in fall, it's also a great time to do engagement pictures!
Happy Planning!
