Ideas for a fall/October wedding!!!?

Question

me and my boyfriend want to get married in the fall around october (cause that's when we met) we want a countryish wedding.. hay bales for seats brides maids in sun dresses BUT it might be too cold. Should we have it out side by a run down old barn Or in the middle of my uncles pond island and rent swans for the pond and have a tent for the reception right in the yard?

it going to be a low budget simple wedding but not for a couple years so give me Lots of ideas on decorations and everything!!!

Answer 1

I like the idea of having it at the pond with the tent.  Although, we considered having ours at a barn also.  Some old barns have been restored so that have new interiors but keep the rustic appearance.  You may want to search for something like that. Either way, you could still have hay bales, and maybe corn stalks for decorations as well?  A cute lantern idea I saw was to take Mason jars (used for canning), attached a "handle" made from wire so that it can hang from shepards hooks, trees, ect. and then put a candle inside.  You can even add a ribbon around the top in your wedding colors.  I think sun dresses may be too "summery", but you could still have strapless or spagetti strapped dresses.  Just get a wrap or jacket for each girl in case it's cold.  I'd also recommend a longer dress (calf or floor length) since it's a fall wedding.

Answer 2

I think lanterns are really cute for centerpieces and can really have a romantic/sophisticated feel.    

Answer 3

definitely orange and green flowers.Fruit platters.For some reason I love decorations of fruit as centerpieces for my kitchen table during October.
