Make the most out of your Autumnal wedding 

Whatever the season you choose to marry, there’s always going to be that one thing completely special about the season you choose, that you’ll remember year on year.  

That also goes for Autumn.  

The crisp leaves turning yellow, then orange. The warm sun glow as the weather starts to cool, and the dewy mornings shimmering in the distance.  

What’s not to love? 

Whether you’re getting married this autumn, in 2023 or beyond, there are many things you can do to make the most out of your autumnal wedding. 

The wedding flurry is over: As an independent celebrant in the Scottish Borders and surrounding areas, the summer months are undeniably busy when it comes to weddings, holidays, honeymoons and festivals. So, when it comes to your autumn wedding, you won’t need to compete against finding a date that your most loved ones can attend.  

Picture perfect: You won’t need a filter to get the ideal light for your wedding photos. There’s something about the autumn light that just sits right, and guarantees to give you the wedding photos you dreamed of.  

Surprisingly good weather: It’s not too hot, or too cold. It’s just right. Autumn is, more often than not, reliable (that said, we’re still based in the UK…things can surprise you). But with the crisp Autumn leaves, full moons and stunning sunsets, it’ll be a wedding to remember.  

Keep it snug: An Autumn wedding isn’t complete without the emergency umbrellas, cosy warm blankets for those colder nights and a warm cider or two. It’s the small touches that you, and your guests will always remember.  

Reds, Oranges, Golds, it’s all about the colour: There’s something about Autumnal colours that just works. The greens, browns, neutrals. However you make use of these colours, from make-up accents to bridesmaid dresses, the colours will pop.  

Soft, relaxed style: Having an Autumn wedding, means you can take a nod to the world around you. The calm before the festive storm. And why not reflect that in your big day? Tumbling curls complimenting the perfectly effortless look, buffet-style food to suit your mood, and an outdoor firepit to complete your ideal day. It all just works.  

Flowers and foliage to set the scene: Opt for UK grown, locally available flowers, that will not only complete your wedding day look, but also keep your big day sustainable. Cosmos, hydrangeas and dahlias are just some of the flowers that will work well for your wedding day.  

Food that warms the tummy and the heart: Toffee apples, toasted marshmallows, and wood-fired pizzas. Need we say more? Your autumnal wedding is the ideal time to enjoy all of these and more.  

There’s so much to love about Autumn. So, if this time of year holds a special place in your heart, then set an autumn wedding – you won’t regret it! Seeking an independent celebrant covering the Scottish Borders, Newcastle and beyond, contact me today.
