Planning a Fall Wedding

by Marcus Jones

all is officially here! The weather is getting cooler and leaves are changing. Fall weddings typically make for some of the most beautiful natural outdoor settings for a wedding, but there are certain details that must be addressed when planning a fall wedding. Here are a few tips on making sure you take full advantage of the season.

The Farmer’s Almanac isn’t just for farmers

With a typical wedding being planned at least 10 months in advance, fall weddings can have some of the most unpredictable weather of the year for an outdoor wedding. I would strongly suggest researching the Farmer’s Almanac for guidance. The U.S. retail edition of the Farmers’ Almanac contains 16 months of weather predictions for seven differentiated U.S. climatic zones, beginning in September of the publication year and extending until December of the following year. This is a range that usually covers the full planning period of a wedding. Even though it is not 100% accurate, it will give the bride and groom a starting point for choosing a wedding date.
