If you're planning a wedding, fall might be the best time of year to have it. The weather is cool and crisp, the leaves are changing color and the sun sets earlier, which means less time spent in the dark trying to get photos taken before the ceremony.
And if you're not sure whether fall would be right for your wedding, check out these five reasons why it makes sense:
It's not too hot — or too cold. If you want to get married outside on a warm day in summer, there's always the chance that thunderstorms will roll through and ruin everything. But in fall, there's less chance of this happening because the days are cooler and the nights are warmer — making it easier for guests to stay comfortable. Plus, fall is when most people have their weddings anyway — so if you're looking for something different than what everyone else is doing, this may be a good way to go about it. Fall weather tends to be warm enough for outdoor weddings (without being too hot), but not too cold, so you can enjoy your outdoor ceremony without having to worry about being too cold or rainy. Plus, with all those gorgeous trees around you, what better way to show off nature than by having an outdoor wedding?
The leaves change color. It's hard not to fall in love with nature during this time of year; so if you want your big day to include some beautiful landscapes, then autumn is definitely your best bet. This can also help set the mood for your reception site — especially if you're having an outdoor ceremony or reception on a premise that is close to nature! Imagine getting married under a big oak tree or next to a pond surrounded by colorful flowers — it's truly breathtaking! You'll want to make sure that your photographer captures these moments perfectly so you can look back on them forever.
You get more bang for your buck. This might be cliché but true: Weddings aren't cheap! No matter how much you plan ahead or how much money you save up, weddings still cost money — lots of money! If you're looking to cut costs without sacrificing quality, fall is the perfect time to tie the knot because flowers will be cheaper than they would in other times of the year.
