Although they are not as common as spring weddings, fall weddings continue to be popular for people that are looking to have an outdoor wedding set to the beautiful background of changing leaves as the weather gets cooler.

If you live in a more temperate area of the U.S., having an outdoor fall wedding can be a great way to celebrate your union and the season.

Try to incorporate the fall colors and flowers (such as mums) that commemorate the season. Other fall favorites like pumpkins, straw bales and logs create a unique setting.

Finally, for utensils and dishes, be sure to use china and silverware (or heavy plastic-ware) so they don’t blow away in the wind. For drinking glasses, personalized mason jars are an affordable option and they provide a rustic touch to your fall wedding reception:
