Summer weddings are in full swing, but, the colors and feel of Autumn are on every wedding planner's mind right now. Brides are coming to us with their Fall wedding dates and while we are currently organizing weddings that include all the sultry and soft images that Summer weddings typically involve, our minds are starting to switch their focus to the blaze of bold colors, the crispness, and all the energy that epitomizes Fall weddings
The beauty and color of Autumn present so many options for outdoor spaces, and oftentimes what would have been a simple green meadow with green trees has now transformed into a spectacular venue that needs little to no embellishment. Perhaps lights in the trees to maintain that dazzle throughout the evening, and some pristine white tents in case of a passing shower.
Even indoor weddings can capitalize on the beauty of Fall when there are windows that overlook a forested area, or a garden.

Closed venues can be decorated to mimic the natural look or to compliment the colors of the season, or perhaps Fall colors are simply not what the bride envisions.
Some things to keep in mind when diverging from seasonal colors and themes are the floral features and the food. Many flowers are available year round that are not typically in season in the Fall, but, they will cost more out of season, so a bride needs to take that into consideration when planning for specific flowers.

There are also options of flowers that are available year round, such as carnations and other mass produced flowers, that can be ordered in specific colors, sizes, and textures. As at anytime, the more greenery you use in your florals, the lower the cost. Another consideration for decor is the use of non-florals such as feathers, strands of pearls or crystals, just a plethora of options.
The other factor is the food at your event. Seasonal foods are budget friendly, in the same way as seasonal florals, because they are widely available, and in greater abundance. That doesn't mean you cannot have a luau or barbeque in October, but, it can raise your budget.

The main thing to remember is that when it comes to your vision for your wedding, there are no rules other than the ones you set for yourself through your budget. So, if you want tropical flowers in your bouquet for a November wedding, and you have budgeted to afford that, then, do it.
