Happy Autumn!

Fall is my favourite season of the year because the weather is just right - not too hot and not too cold. And for some strange reason since fall used to coincide with the start of the school year, it still brings back those good memories for me - the excitment of going back to school shopping and seeing friends after summer vacation.

My top colour picks for a Fall wedding are gold, burnt orange/red, and brown hues.

Here are some fall inspired wedding ideas!

At one wedding I assisted at, the bride and groom chose to cut and serve pumpkin pies instead of a traditional wedding cake (or serve mini apple and pumpkin pies)


I wouldn't suggest a Halloween-themed wedding but Halloween-inspired candy like candy/caramel apples or candy corn is always fun

Fall leaves lining your centrepieces (Make sure you gather them on the morning of your wedding so they don't get dry and wrinkled)

Pumpkins are place cards

Fall foilage boutonnieres (acorns, dried leaves and orange/yellow ribbon)

Fantasy Weddings

I love it when couples take their passions and incorporate them into their big day. Here are some fun (and sometimes, extreme) fantasy/science fiction weddings:

1. Twilight Wedding
The bride wore a replica of the Alfred Angelo wedding gown Bella wore in the movie and the couple even changed their last names to the Cullens!

2. Star Wars Wedding
You can always count on Storm Troppers as groomsmen! In this wedding, the groom pledged in his vows, “I promise to protect you from the Dark Side, through hyperspace and into the far reaches of the galaxy.” How sweet!

3. Harry Potter Wedding


Guests rode on the Hogwarts Express, were given wands as wedding favours, and were even divided into the four Hogwart's houses!

I would love to be a part of planning a themed wedding - it would be so much fun!
