6 Reasons Why You Should Have A Fall Wedding

Throughout my whole life, I have always wanted to have a fall wedding. It sounds lame, right? It actually is! Enough about me, though. Fall weddings are trending now, more than ever, and people are booking weddings for October and November more frequently. There's hay, pumpkins, leaves, cider and crisp air awaiting us, so here is a nice little list of reasons to have a fall wedding. (Disclaimer: These are merely opinions. Great opinions, mind you, but just opinions.)


1. Fall is better than spring or summer.

Who wants to be all hot and sticky at a spring or summer wedding? Not me. Not anyone. Sweating is terrible and gross. Fall is calming, cool and pretty with the falling leaves. I, for one, imagine an outdoor wedding with arching trees and leaves slowly falling down. It's a beautiful sight.

2. It's easier to actually have a wedding.

In "wedding season," which occurs in spring and summer, everybody gets married. There are more weddings in that time than times I go to sleep (which is a lot). It's better to have a wedding that has no set time to end as caterers and others prepare for another reception.

3. Leaves! Leaves everywhere!

Nature is beautiful, and during fall, all the leaves are coming down, coating the ground and leaving trails of yellows, oranges, reds and browns. The mixture of the warm colors and the satisfying sound of crunchy leaves makes a person feel young and lively.

4. You could have an interesting anniversary.

Think of this: a Halloween wedding. Boom! Mind blown. Give out some candy to kids at the reception, have the bridesmaids and groomsmen wear awesome costumes; all is well. Then on the anniversary, the couple can go out with their kids trick or treating or go to a Halloween party. All is well and good.

5. Pumpkins are in season.

Pumpkins are no joke. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes with extra pumpkin spice, orange, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin everything. And it's all there for your wedding. It sounds so great to get married when there are pumpkins around.

6. Apple cider is also great.

Apple cider tastes best in the fall. No absolute reason why, but it always tastes better when you can see nature take its course—as in, standing at the windows with a glass of cider, watching the leaves come off the trees and blow through the wind. The world is so much more at peace in the fall.


Though there are many more reasons why people should have a fall wedding, it's up to you when you decide to marry. In my opinion, fall is just a beautiful time and so great for a wedding.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
