While we love a good summer bash, fall weddings make our hearts skip a beat. The gorgeous colors, crisp air, and cozy vibe of an autumn wedding are absolutely breathtaking. If you’re not convinced, here are ten more reasons to love fall weddings.

1. You can have a beautiful outdoor ceremony without worrying your guests are going to melt or freeze. (Well, at least not worrying as much.)

If you're reading this, it's a good bet yo're in the midst of wedding planning. Congratulations — you've come to the right place! Welcome to the September/October issue, where you'll find heaps of info and inspo.

Mmm-m-m mini! Behold these oh-so-chic Little White Dresses.

The long, sun-drenched days of summer are so appealing for weddings. But before you plan an outdoor wedding during these steamy months, there are a few important things you need to keep in mind:

1. You'll need to book your date early. Not only is it the most popular time of year to get married — meaning the best venues book up quickly — but you're also going to be competing for your guests' attention; between vacations and other weddings, it pays to let your wedding VIPs know your date as early as possible so that they don't make other commitments. 

Can't picture having your wedding in a traditional ballroom? Summer is the perfect season to take your wedding outdoors. And while you can certainly still throw a formal affair under the stars, we have a soft spot for less buttoned-up summer affairs. Here, some of our favorite ideas.

Ceremony Aisle
With an outdoor ceremony, you typically have much more flexibility with the seating arrangements. We love this winding aisle, which gives each guest a front-row seat as you walk.
