Why Choose a Fall Wedding?

The Autumn is often overlooked as a potential wedding season and that's too bad. True, in many parts of the country it doesn't have the reliably warm weather of the summer but that's not all bad for your wedding as we will see below. Besides, you can always hop a plane and head toward warmer weather for your honeymoon.

Over the course of the next few posts I will be talking about the advantages and opportunities that the fall wedding season provides - but here is a brief overview.

Fall weddings in many ways offer the best of all worlds:

• After the craziness of summer people turn back to the ones they love… and everyone loves a good wedding celebration.



• Fall weddings give you the opportunity to leave the hum-drum, been-there-done-that venue choices behind and choose a location with drama.



• Clothing choices for a wedding at the changing of the season are wider and generally more filled with opportunity.



• The turning of the leaves of autumn provides a stunning backdrop and color palate for your wedding decor.



• The season allows for more dramatic choices in reception themes and often rewards you with less expensive decor.



• As the air turns cooler, society moves indoors, but in many locations the daytime temperatures are such that a mid-day outdoor wedding in not out of the question leaving you with a wide range of possibilities.



• Lower demand for wedding venues and services during the autumn can often translate into lower prices.



• Even better, the fall wedding season comes as the overall wedding season slows; giving you a better shot at getting the wedding professionals you want.



• Most of all the choice of an autumn nuptial celebration means that the “it’s too hot, don’t touch me season” has passed and the snuggling season is just beginning.

Stay tuned. The fall wedding season is fun.

Embracing Fall Weddings

Autumn weddings present an excellent opportunity to celebrate your marriage and your new life as husband and wife. With the craziness of summer behind you the fall season brings with it new opportunities for gathering friends and family together for a wedding celebration that you will remember for many years to come.

Fall Weddings Provide Unique Wedding Design Opportunities

Furthermore, an autumn wedding not only looks and feels different from your run of the mill June wedding, but because the very differences of an autumn wedding have the potential to make your wedding party spectacular. The rich yet understated colors of autumn, for example, give the florist the opportunity to create the warm, inviting, and even elegant wedding atmosphere that every bride dreams of.

Imagine the reflection of a roaring fire dancing in the crystal and silver on your reception tables. Add a cornucopia if you like or accent your tables with a maple leaf favors to highlight the hope you have for an abundant and beautiful future together.

I love candles, and fall weddings are a perfect opportunity to go crazy with candles in your fall wedding decor. Build a centerpiece for your head table by renting a cake set of cake stands (obviously not one that puts the cakes directly over each other - rather one that when covered with a white cloth will resemble an ascending series of plateau mountains) and covering it with candles that match your design theme. That done, accent each of your reception tables with a candle as a focal point and then choose candle wedding favors to send your guests home with warm memories of your wedding day.

Of course, there are many other decor opportunities to make your autumn wedding pop. Stay tuned...

Illuminating Your Fall Wedding

The fall is a wonderful time to hold a wedding. The craziness of summer is over and your family and friends begin to look towards opportunities to get together and enjoy the warmth of togetherness. More, the fall season brings with it lower prices on everything from hotel rooms to wedding photography even if only because fewer people are demanding those services. This means you might very well be able to get more for your money from an autumn wedding. The problem, however, has been that your choices in fall wedding décor and favors have been limited. Fortunately, I have found some Fall themed Garden Glass Gel Candles that represent a giant step in solving that problem and presenting you with an excellent opportunity to add style and elegance to your fall wedding.

Excellent Start to Great Fall Wedding Centerpieces

These tall, beautiful, and tastefully scented gel candles inside an elegant "glass" would make an excellent focal point for each table’s centerpiece at your fall wedding reception. Surround them with silver or crystal along side a roaring fire and you have the basis for an elegant event that subtly recognizes the season. Or surround them with a collection of dried leaves, baby pumpkins, gourds, and acorns etc. and you have a full on seasonally appropriate fall wedding display. These gel candles contain dried foliage and other autumn accents suspended in the warmly colored gel to tie the candle visually to the display on your tables. Add the fact that each of these “Fall in Love” Garden Glass Gel Candles has an approximate six hour burn time and you have a great choice for your table’s centerpieces.

Autumn Weddings

Since we are now officially, if not universally practically, into spring I thought I should throw a bone to those brides that are just now starting to plan their wedding. Since most brides plan roughly six months in advance that means - Autumn Weddings.

Fortunately, Fall weddings are an excellent choice for individuals to whom financial resources are limited and even better for whom resources are not so limited. The reason? Simple. Off peak season in any industry means better bargains for the consumer and in most parts of the country autumn weddings fall into that 'off peak' season.

Fall Weddings Bring Families Back Together

Likewise, the autumn wedding season itself presents an excellent opportunity to celebrate your marriage and your new life as husband and wife. With the craziness of summer behind you the fall season brings with it new opportunities for gathering friends and family together for a wedding celebration that you will remember for many years to come.
