weddings.
Once you have announced your
engagement, it is time to decide the
date of your wedding. Many couples

far the most popular time for
weddings in most areas of the world.
During this season, you have the
best chance for warm weather, clear
skies and beautiful blooms.
However, because these months are
so popular, you must compete with
other couples for DJs, photographers
and reception sites. In turn, many
vendors increase their prices at these
times because they are in high
demand and can get top dollar.
A viable option is to celebrate
with an autumn wedding. Early fall
boasts crisp weather, picturesque
and colourful foliage as the leaves
change their colour, and an inviting
harvest appeal. That is why many
are opting to exchange vows in
September or October.
Autumn weddings are also ideal
when planning your honeymoon. By
September, most children have
returned to school, freeing up resorts
for your desired retreat. Just keep in
mind that this time of the month is
hurricane season for some parts of
the Caribbean, so plan your
honeymoon accordingly. You might
consider getting travel insurance just
in case Mother Nature crashes your
trip.
If you decide to have an autumn
wedding, here are some ideas to
make your celebration special.
