Fall weddings are as magical as they sound. They’re the subjects of one-too many fairytale stories and most of them do live up to their reputation – if planned correctly.
We know what you’re thinking – why would anyone want to walk down the aisle when it’s not as warm as a summery day in August? Well, simply put, some couples are not big fans of breaking out in hives just to tie the knot. After all, to each his own! So basically, the cool and crisp weather of fall can truly make the bride’s day and the ideas behind a fall wedding are by the dozen, no matter the destination – because let’s face it, a Fall wedding in the Gulf is no different than a summery one. Of course, no wedding is perfect, there will always be glitches and bumps down the road, but the most important thing to keep in mind here is that the number one priority is the bride and groom’s happiness and satisfaction. That said, there are one too many ways to plan a fall destination wedding and here are a couple of tips and tricks that can make the preparations a lot less chaotic.
- Sure, outdoors-y fall weddings look incredibly gorgeous on Instagram, but there’s one thing you forgot about: the weather. What if it rains cats and dogs and you ruin your wedding day because you failed to prepare for an indoor wedding? Fall is home to unexpected showers and winds, so the best thing to do here is to plan an indoor wedding worthy of a royal celebration!
- But of course, you’ll want pictures in the great outdoors and we totally understand! Just don’t let your bridesmaids and yourself freeze to death by doing so. That’s why pashminas are always a good idea! Pick ones that match the theme and you won’t notice a difference in the pictures – and your bride tribe won’t end up with a cold.
- The themes can vary from colors to styles and so on. But your best bet is the earth-toned color palette – which will ultimately lend your wedding a certain Fall-sy je ne sais quoi!
- Keep in mind that the temperature and weather may change at any given moment. So make sure your wedding guests are well prepared during your party with pashminas as well!
- The décor should be really reminiscent of fall. That said, you can never go wrong with romantic candles and lanterns.
- The flowers decorating the venue and your bouquet can also include warm colors – something you should definitely discuss with your wedding planner.
- Finally, since the sun sets earlier in fall, it might be a good idea to do the wedding events an hour earlier or so, early enough to watch the sun set!
