Special Event

For most, when thinking of wedding dates, spring and summer always come to mind. But have you ever actually considered what a fall wedding would feel like? Despite being overlooked, autumn in Sydney has so much to offer. So if you are on the fence with what season is best for your wedding, here are some reasons why Fall may be the ideal time to say “I do”.

1. The Weather is Just Right

If you have your heart set on a specific place, there is no denying that the sooner you book, the better. And not only that, but many hot venues are also filled 12 to 18 months prior – particularly during peak wedding time. So if your wedding date is set and you have a dream venue in mind, you don’t want to wait around.

And of course the temperate climate allows you to wear any wedding dress or suit that you have always dreamed of wearing at your ceremony without freezing in winter or sweating through summer. Whether it’s a long sleeve dress or a light, breezy suit, fall weather has your back.

2. Better Vendor Availability

With spring and summer being the most popular seasons for weddings, fall is usually less crowded as far as venues and vendors go. This means you’re much more likely to score your first choice of florist, photographer or caterer. You might even pick up off-season deals!

The more options you have, the less stressed out you will be and more chance that you might actually get to work with who you want to!

3. Beautiful Natural Backdrops

Fall in Sydney comes with gorgeous natural colours that you don’t get in other seasons. The trees turn beautiful browns, reds and yellows that are going to look terrific on your wedding album. Just think of how beautiful those warm tones would be as the backdrop to your ceremony – a dream for any photographer!

These earthy colors can also be included in your wedding theme. Use deep reds, burnt oranges and rustic browns in your flowers, table settings, and also consider complementary colours for the bridal party. Would be a perfect way to add more warmth to your day without needing to go overboard on decorations.

4.Comfort Food Vibes

Fall kind of makes you crave for comfort food, doesn’t it? Since your wedding is in the fall, this gives you every reason to have nice hearty and tasty foods that everyone loves. Whether you are roasting veggies, preparing warm soup or in charge of a dessert bar with pies and hot chocolate – warming up your menu is easy to do!

Your food options can be a little more fun and relaxed in the cooler months. When the air gets cold, guests prefer warm, comfortable repasts over breezy, summery ones, adding an extra layer of coziness to your evening.

5. Longer Evenings, Better Lighting

In the fall, as the nights are gradually getting longer, you can use the setting sun to your advantage and take dreamy golden-hour pictures without having to stay up until midnight. The soft warm hues of autumn sunset can work wonders in making your wedding album look like a magical piece.

And guess what? The sun setting earlier means you can get to your reception faster and start partying sooner. And honestly, who doesn’t love a party that’s over before midnight?

6. More Guest Availability

The summer is typically when people like to take time away on holiday which sometimes can/may clash. Your guests are probably more available in the fall, as they are less likely to be out of town on spring or summer vacation for example, which can make it easier on them. And, because it is not the height of wedding season, most likely they will not be going to a ton of weddings right after yours. Flights and accommodations are also often cheaper in the fall which is a win for everyone involved.
