In a radio interview this week, the recently-engaged singer admitted she's "overwhelmed" with the idea of planning a wedding. Clarkson also shared that she and fiancé Brandon Blackstock are considering a small, outdoor wedding this fall — though, like most brides, she's struggling to cut the guest list.
Well, Kelly, since you're feeling a little overwhelmed, we thought we'd help you out and pull together some inspiration. Here, check out our favorite ideas for an intimate fall wedding:
