#WeddingWednesday :: Tips for a Fall Wedding

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year! I chose October and the rich tones of fall for my own wedding! Pumpkins are a fall staple, they're readily available just about anywhere, and they can make for some beautiful decorations! I always suggest sticking with what's available in the fall, including pumpkins and gourds.

Certain blooms are in season during fall months. Using these will keep your floral costs down. The color palette available is amazing, so embrace the rich colors and go with the golds, reds, oranges, browns and yellows that are abundant in the autumn months!

Fall could bring chilly weather, so be sure you have something planned to keep your guests warm. Throw blankets for guests is a good idea, sweaters or pashminas for the 'maids and moms, and you could even offer a hot cocoa, coffee, tea, and/or hot cider station. Warm beverages take care of a chill quickly! Mobile espresso bars are available whether your event is indoors or outdoors!

Fall desserts - apple & pumpkin pies, caramel apples, smores by the fire....get creative with desserts for your guests and show them a true taste of fall! There are so many options available to choose from...it's such a hard decision, I'd have to have them all. :)

Vendor Spotlight :: Dallas Caramel Company in Wylie

I've had the opportunity to work with Rain and Dallas Caramel Company twice now, and both times they were absolutely fabulous! These caramels are to die for! I can't get enough of the sea salt caramels....I had to get those the first time I came across them! My personal favorite!

This time they not only had caramels and boxed favors....they went above and beyond anything I imagined! Caramel apples! They were obviously delicious, but they were also just gorgeous on the dessert station! Absolutely love this idea to provide as a treat for your guests!

Can't wait to work with Rain and Dallas Caramel Company again in the future! If you need sweet treats for weddings, special events, favors, gifts....check out Dallas Caramel Co.!

We did an Instagram giveaway for a Mother's Day gift Basket. Each participating vendor contributed a prize to the basket, and one lucky winner was chosen from our contest on Instagram! Our winner @seemommyknit was super excited to win the amazing basket, and she came by with her daughter to pick it up! We had to snap a group photo of everyone while she was there!
