Planning for Fall Weddings

Attention all you autumn brides: it is time to get your wedding planned! Whether you have recently become engaged or have been planning your wedding for a year, you are now entering the “crunch time” during which you need to really nail down all of the details for your special day. These are some of the things that fall brides need to focus on in the coming months…

Hopefully by now, you have your venue booked. If not, that should definitely be your top priority. When you are working with a shorter lead time, you may find that many of the most popular wedding venues in your area will already be reserved. Couples who can be flexible on dates or the day of the week (ie, a Thursday evening instead of a Saturday afternoon), will certainly have more options available to them.

Another thing that fall brides should be sure to figure out ASAP is their wedding ensemble. The lead time on ordering a designer gown can easily be four to five months, and that is not even including the time needed for alterations. Some designers will offer rush delivery for an additional fee, or you can try your luck at sample sales if you wear a fairly average dress size. Once your gown has been selected, go ahead and pick out all of your accessories at this time, as well. You will want to shop for your shoes, undergarments, and bridal jewelry sets early, so that you are not scrambling around at the last minute.

The smaller details of the wedding can be dealt with as your date gets closer. For instance, it is just fine if you have not yet decided on wedding favors or bridesmaid gifts yet. As long as you get to those types of elements a few months before your wedding day, you will be in good shape. Of course, if you are the kind of bride who gets stressed out by leaving things on your “to do” list, there is nothing wrong with getting those details sorted out early, either.
