According to The Knot<\/a>, 46% of Hoosiers plan weddings during the fall \u2013 between the months of September and November. Whereas, 33% of weddings occur in the summer months between June and August. With fall being so popular\u2026you might be hesitant in booking your wedding during this favorite time, but consider these top 5 reasons why you should:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Crisp mild weather.<\/b> If any part of your wedding \u2013 rehearsal, ceremony or reception \u2013 takes place outside, you and your guests won\u2019t melt and can actually enjoy the sun with a nice cool breeze! Nothing a jacket can\u2019t tend to. Don\u2019t get me wrong, summer barn weddings are amazing, but keep in mind if you\u2019re outside in the summer, don\u2019t forget the guys are usually wearing layers of clothes, plus all the ladies have their makeup done and their hair curled to perfection…melting by the minute. With the high heat and humidity added to the mix, no one wants to be pitting out or have sweat dripping down their face as a photographer snaps an insane amount of photos! In the fall, leave these worries behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much like how you see those small hand fans during ceremonies in the summer, you can offer up blankets to guests instead. Plus, if the party continues outside, who doesn\u2019t like a nice little fire ambiance in the evening? Pending the venue has this option, firepits are another great fall perk a lot of people love \u2013 need I say s\u2019mores? S\u2019more kits before or after the big meal would be a nice touch for a snack \u2013 or even as a small favor to take home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colorful scenery.<\/b> Speaking of photo ops above, leaves in Indiana start turning in late-September, with peak times typically around the second and third week of October. Brown County even has a <\/span>Leaf Cam<\/span><\/a> you can view online, or if you have the Discover Brown County app. Even if you decide to have the ceremony and reception inside, definitely reserve photos to be taken outside, whether it\u2019s on-site at your venue or a nearby picturesque spot in a park or garden. Plan to soak up what nature has to offer this time of year. If leaves are off the trees, use them in the pics as props for some fun shots!<\/span><\/p>\n

Better availability.<\/b> Hosting a fall wedding might mean that more of your guests can attend the wedding \u2013 avoiding all the vacations people take during the summertime, and travel around the holidays. Only thing you\u2019ll have to be conscious of is fall break, and of course check major athletic schedules and festival calendars, which could cause a snafu all depending on where your festivities take place. <\/span>The Knot<\/span><\/a> shares a nice reference guide on dates to be conscious of if you plan on getting hitched between now and 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus don\u2019t totally count out the month of November \u2013 vendors could have more availability this month and generally speaking, a Sunday (or weekday) wedding could save you more money. During the fall, Saturdays are the first to book, so if you want that day for sure, you\u2019ll want to start looking to secure a date sooner rather than later!<\/span><\/p>\n

Comfort food.<\/b> When falls hits in Indiana, people crave that harvest-themed comfort food \u2013apples, cider, mulled wine, and pie come to mind. Incorporate some of these staples into your meal and your guests will get all the fall feels. Offer a cocktail special or happy hour drinks with a fun name that plays off the occasion \u2013 or incorporate hot toddys. If you\u2019re thinking dessert, offer a pie bar.<\/span><\/p>\n
