Fall Wedding Ideas - How to Plan a Fall Wedding

Looking for autumn-spiration? These tips and ideas for fall theme weddings will get you started towards planning a wedding with a fall twist.

Prepare for Variable Weather - Fall weather can be unpredictable: what starts as a sunny warm morning can turn into a brisk chilly evening. Be prepared for both extremes. Have portable heaters available (if your wedding will take place outside), and dress the wedding party in layers.

Celebrate the Outdoor Splendor - The season seems to call for an outdoor, rustic setting affording prime leaf peeping views. Some ideas: parks, orchards, vineyards, farms, ranches, barns, mills, or the grounds of an historic inn or mansion. If an outdoor setting isn’t an option, find a venue boasting a clear view of the fall foliage or countryside.

Consider Your Guests - Fall means back to school, which also means Friday night football games and scores of other after-school activities - all which may affect the ability of some guests with kids to attend. Be sure to set your date and notify your guests as early as possible


If you're looking to tie together the days details with your fall theme, this article has tons of fall wedding ideas - including fall flowers, decor, favors, and menu ideas.

Multicultural Wedding Invitations Add Color to White Weddings

If the American wedding industry had a theme song, it would probably be “White Wedding,” if you catch my drift. When did being a bride in the U.S. become synonymous with being pigmentally challenged? Tired of paying homage to the homogenous, some stationers are branching out with new lines of invitations and announcements that represent a more inclusive cross section of brides. Using all the colors in the Crayola crayon box, these multicultural wedding invitations feature rich jewel tones and illustrations of brides and bridesmaids from African American, Latino, Hispanic and Asian backgrounds. From an industry that banks on weddings as “expressions of individuality,” we think this makes too much sense. Now if only we can banish that bridezilla stereotype...
