The crisp fall air gives you an excuse to incorporate all things cozy into your big day (pumpkin spice wedding favors anyone?), the scenery is simply gorgeous, and the menu is sure to be phenomenal, with all of your fave comfort food included in one beautiful harvest feast.
Of course, when it comes to wedding planning it can be difficult where to begin. Just deciding on a wedding favor can feel like a momentous task. Fortunately, there are countless brides who have been through it all, and are happy to share their weddings dos and don’ts with brides-to-be.

Love the idea of an adventurous elopement? You have to see Katherine and Michael’s li’l wedding! The couple said their ‘I dos’ 6,000ft up, surrounded by miles of breathtaking mountain landscape. With just six guests in attendance, the couple had the chance to truly take in the scenery, spending hours exploring the location (photographer in tow, of course!).

Chelsea and Josh’s Tennessee wedding is the epitome of rustic elegance. Their beautiful barn wedding at the K&M Barn at Lewis Farm featured darling details, like twinkle lights galore and lovely wedding altar decor, and had a warm, cozy feel. Looking at the wedding photos, it’s hard to believe that this gorgeous intimate wedding cost the couple just $7,000.

Feeling overwhelmed with wedding planning deadlines? Don’t stress- Lauren and Caleb had only six (!!) months to plan their wedding at Dobson Orchards in Fredericktown, MO, and it turned out beautifully. We love how the couple incorporated rustic fall-inspired details into both the ceremony and reception, including the gorgeous jewel-tone bouquet and stunning reception decor.

Love the idea of a desert wedding, but not so keen on the idea of saying your “I do”s in 100 degree heat? Opt for an autumn wedding in the desert, like Marissa and Chris did. From the awe-inspiring desert landscape, to the bride’s fabulous Rue De Seine gown, the wedding was the perfect mixture of desert authenticity and rustic glamor!
