9 reasons to have a wedding in autumn

3. Rich floral decorations

Are you planning to order floral decorations from local farms and suppliers? The richest harvest blooms in the fall. Seasonal flowers such as dahlias, asters, chrysanthemums, sedums, callunas, anemones, helenium, rudbeckia and garden cosmos, as well as ornamental grasses, make for the most beautiful floral arrangements.

Thanks to this diversity, you can have bouquets and decorations created exactly to your taste. Different colors, shapes, and textures combine better and give the wedding a distinctive, cozy, and natural look. In short, autumn offers more possibilities than any other season.

4. Decorations made from natural materials

If you are planning an outdoor wedding or a boho-style wedding, this season offers plenty of opportunities for decorating with natural materials. The colorful autumn landscape can be the most beautiful backdrop in itself. You can also get creative with various ornamental grasses and colorful leaves to give your wedding a unique character.

Such decorations look natural, cozy, and stylish at the same time. What's more, they can be combined with flowers and lights, so the resulting decor can be truly original without having to invest a large part of your budget.

5. Romantic photos

The third season is literally a paradise for all photographers. And if you decide on an autumn wedding, you are sure to love the memories in the form of photos and videos. Just imagine the two of you surrounded by colorful leaves, the golden hour, and soft light reflecting off the trees. How romantic! Your photos will look natural and timeless, and each shot will be an authentic reminder of your big day, exactly as it happened.

6. Stylish wedding outfits and original jewelry

Autumn allows brides and grooms to experiment more. In summer, practicality often wins out due to the heat, while in autumn you can afford to layer and wear unique jewelry. Brides will look great in long-sleeved dresses made of fine silk or lace, with a shawl over their shoulders or an elegant jacket. Grooms can easily wear a vest under their jacket, which would probably be out of the question on hot summer days.

And it is accessories that can take the overall look to a new level. Autumn weddings call for more striking jewelry with colorful gemstones – gold moss agate earrings, a salt and pepper diamond bracelet, an emerald necklace, or a chain with citrine perfectly matching the color palette of this season. These bridal jewelry pieces look elegant, bold, and sophisticated when paired with a classic wedding dress.

TIP MIALIS: To perfectly match your accessories with your look and the design of the whole day, don't forget to choose the color of the gold. In our studio, you can choose without any additional charges. Rose and yellow gold are perfect for autumn, standing out not only during the wedding but also shining in everyday wear.

7. Lower prices and more available dates

May to September are the peak wedding season months, which means busy schedules for photographers, florists, caterers, and venue rental companies. Prices climb during the summer months, and it is often necessary to reserve a date more than a year in advance. In contrast, autumn offers a pleasant respite. 

You can choose your venue without having to make any major compromises, and it often won't put as much strain on your wedding budget. Wedding services also tend to be more affordable – a photographer who couldn't find a single date in June will have more availability in October and can offer you a more personalized service. And what about the money you save? You can invest it in your honeymoon, for example, or in unusual wedding rings that are exactly what you want.

8. Romantic lights

Autumn evenings come earlier, so you can make your wedding reception and celebration cosier with candles, lanterns and fairy lights. What might seem a little kitschy in summer becomes a key part of the atmosphere in autumn. Go for warm light and the flickering glow of candles to create a touching and romantic setting where every guest will feel like they're in a fairy tale.

9. Themed wedding reception

Most summer wedding receptions take place in hot weather, so the menu tends to feature light and fresh dishes. But if you are true food lovers, autumn opens up completely different possibilities. You can play with seasonal ingredients and plan a feast that will delight your guests not only with its taste, but also with the way it fits into the overall atmosphere.

Creamy pumpkin soup, roasted root vegetables, pear dessert with the aroma of cinnamon – these flavors are inseparable from this time of year and will perfectly complement the autumn theme of your wedding. On colder evenings, hot cider or mulled wine will come in handy, warming you up and creating a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere.

Choose details with your heart

An autumn wedding is the perfect choice for those who want their day to be different from all the others. Colorful, cozy, romantic, and full of unforgettable details. If you love originality, warm tones, and want your wedding to look like it's straight out of the picturesque town of Stars Hollow, then autumn is the perfect season for your big day.
