Sunset First - Before choosing your ceremony timeline look up the sunset on your date and discuss the optimal timeline with your wedding photographer & wedding planner. From there your wedding team will create a timeline to make the most of your photography coverage, access at your venue and of course time with your friends & family to celebrate!

Tis the season - Seasonal menu that is! Work with your caterer to look for ways to bring in fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits to accentuate the abundance of the fall harvest. If you are having a destination wedding, this is a perfect way to blend your theme with your setting and really set the tone for your guests.

Weather Contingencies - Rest assured that your plan b is rock solid so that you don’t have to sweat any changes in the forecast. Your wedding team will have resources and suggestions for creating a back up plan for heat, or even chilly weather from ground fans, evaporative coolers, shade umbrella’s and more.

Scope it out - Check out some wedding galleries from weddings that have taken place around the same time of year at your wedding venue. This gives you a good idea of what will be in bloom, what areas stay shady and best photo areas to plan around. Your wedding planner or venue coordinator can walk you through ideas and focal points to give you some options for decor placement and how to maximize your budget while complimenting the setting.
