{weddings} Welcome, Autumn 2013

A little something special happened while I was taking a blogging break for a beautiful wedding: Autumn officially arrived!  The season of chilly nights, changing leaves and hot apple cider is here.  &, of course, Autumn weddings are happening!  In celebration, I've gathered a few favorite Autumn wedding images for you to enjoy.

Welcome, Autumn!  I am so happy you're here.

leftovers

* Due to a little miss Hurricane Sandy headed our way, I am writing all posts in advance this week.  My thoughts & prayers are with everyone in her path.  May you be safe & well!

  

 

Wondering what to do with your leftover Halloween pumpkins?  Well, wise Martha Stewart suggests hallowing out your pumpkin, filling it with Fall flowers & surrounding it with votive candles.  Here you've got a gorgeous arrangement in lovely Fall hues; you could easily use carnations or another affordable flower for a similar look.  If you really attempt this Fall beauty, before putting your flowers in the pumpkin, use floral foam or place your flowers in a glass before placing them in the pumpkin.  Your pretty flowers will stay watered & fresh-looking for as long as possible.  Easy, peasey.

Too bad I drew on my pumpkins with Sharpies!

{Real Fall Vermont Wedding} Shila & Brad

If you love Fall weddings as much as me, you're guaranteed to have your heart skip a beat or two as you admire this ultimate Fall wedding in Vermont.  Pumpkins galore, from plain to monogrammed to glittered!  Burlap details, including a fantastic fabric & burlap ceremony program.  Gorgeous flowers in Fall tones.  Rustic wood stump cake stand.  A very charming quilt.  Enough from me, let's dive in to the pretty images from Ampersand Wedding Photography:

My Favorite Moment: The Bride & Groom smooching on the Bridal Party Bus!  You can just see the fun, celebratory atmosphere as the Bride & Groom are whisked away into happily ever after.  So. Much. Fun.

My Favorite Detail: How do I choose just one?!  A glittered pumpkin will get me each & every time. 

Congratulations, Shila & Brad!
