In a radio interview [1] this week, the recently-engaged singer [2] 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 [3].
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:

Clarkson admits that she's terrified of everyone watching her walk down the aisle. "That is like the worst thing ever," she said [4]. Might we suggest distracting them with some gorgeous décor?
