Setting a Date for Your Fall Wedding

Setting a Date for Your Fall Wedding

fall weddings

Congratulations on your engagement! How far into your wedding planning are you? We’re asking because one of the first things you should do is set a date for your fall wedding. Here are a few things to remember when choosing a date for your autumn nuptials!

  

·      What’s the Weather Going to be Like?

First, consider the weather. Fall can be a beautiful time of year for a wedding, but ensure the weather is perfect on your big day. If you’re set on a particular date, check the forecast in advance and plan accordingly.

 

·      What Date Will You Set?

Another thing to remember when setting a date for your fall wedding is the availability of your venue and vendors.

Many popular venues and vendors book up far in advance, so if you have your heart set on a specific location or vendor, book early. The same goes for any other vendor services you may need, such as catering, photography, or transportation.

 

·      Have You Considered Your Guests?

Finally, keep your guests in mind when choosing a date for your fall wedding. Many people have busy schedules and may not be able to attend if the date falls during a busy time of year.

If you have specific guests you want to invite, check their schedules in advance and pick a date that works for everyone.

 

With these things in mind, you’ll have no problem picking the perfect date for your fall wedding. Remember to plan and be flexible, and you’ll have a beautiful and memorable day!
