Your big day is coming up and we\u2019re here to help you plan the wedding of your dreams<\/a>! Autumn is the perfect time to get married. Something about this season just makes you want to curl up with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate, and who better to do that with than your new husband or wife?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First Thing\u2019s First: Indoor or Outdoor?<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s tempting to have an outdoor wedding in Autumn, especially for those in the leafy areas. Keep in mind that while it is very beautiful, the Autumn can be quite chilly. Never fear- you can have both the comforts of home and nature\u2019s beauty, whether you\u2019re inside or out. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n

Outdoor Weddings<\/span><\/p>\n

The wonderful thing about having an outdoor wedding in the Autumn is how simple the decorating can be on your part, while still achieving a breath-taking ceremony. The rich hues of red, orange, yellow, green, and brown decorate themselves. Warm, seasonal colours will surely pop against that perfect white gown. But, let\u2019s talk colours later. The tricky part about outdoor weddings is weather. Wedding planning<\/a> takes months and months of careful planning, and unpredictable weather changes can be a serious threat to your perfect day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Worst<\/span><\/p>\n

Plan ahead. Schedule marquee rentals from a vendor ahead of time. In most cases, you can do this through the same service that provides your chairs and tables. Because weather is flippant and unpredictable, most vendors will have a reasonable cancellation policy for marquees, allowing you the freedom to make the call much closer to the date without scrambling to find a marquee at the last minute. Talk to your vendors. They want your day to be perfect, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep It Simple<\/span><\/p>\n

With so many vibrant colours around you all of the beauty that nature has to offer- clean, classic decorations go a long way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lights. Consider using white string lights, vintage-style iron lanterns, or round paper lanterns to offset your colourful surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sparklers are the new confetti and it\u2019s no surprise why. Aside from being beautiful and inexpensive, sparkler send offs make for gorgeous wedding photos and by opting for sparklers over confetti.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add seasonal decoration. Chances are you will need to make some final touches. Depending on how classic or rustic you want your ceremony to be, the amount of decorations will vary. For a more rustic approach, consider decorating with bales of hay, bright orange pumpkins, and natural wood. For a classic look, all of these same ideas could still apply, but probably in smaller doses. Consider painting the pumpkins and using them as vases\/centrepieces for a sleeker look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indoor Weddings<\/span><\/p>\n

For those of you with indoor weddings, weather and temperature won\u2019t be as much of a concern. But, to have a true autumn themed wedding, you will have to bring nature inside to you! Here are some recommendations that may help you achieve that Autumn look you\u2019re searching for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let Mother Nature Inspire You<\/span><\/p>\n

Natural wood tables and chairs. Going with a very simple and natural looking wood will bring the feeling of nature inside.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaves. This one\u2019s a freebie! Bag them up and bring them inside to decorate. You can line the aisle with bright, multi-coloured leaves for an outdoor feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make use of the pumpkin. They aren\u2019t just for Halloween. Aside from the endless possibilities of seasonal pumpkin foods and cocktails, they make wonderful decorations. Paint them, spray them with glitter, carve your initials into them, mark them with table numbers, use them as vases or candleholders\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of Location\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose bridesmaid\u2019s dresses that are rich in colour. Popular colours for autumn include burnt oranges, deep reds, golds, chocolate browns, and dark purples.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take advantage of what the season has to offer by using autumn colours, serving seasonal food and drinks, and using your favourite things about autumn to create beautiful centrepieces, placeholders, and other decorations.<\/span><\/p>\n

A bright white dress will pop against an autumn colour palette, for sure. But, if you\u2019re going for a more vintage look, go for a creamy off-white dress instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last, but certainly not least, enjoy yourself. We wish you a wonderful autumn wedding and the happiest of marriages!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
