Having an Autumn Wedding Outdoors? Don’t Forget About Wedding Tent Rentals, Decorations, and More

Autumn is known as one of the most beautiful times of the year in many parts of the United States. However, it’s also known for its unpredictable weather, but that doesn’t necessarily stop true love! Plenty of couples actually choose a fall wedding when they “save the date,” so if you’re one of them, then you still have the chance for a beautiful ceremony.

Just what can you do to make your autumn wedding special? From fall-inspired decorations to heated wedding tent rentals, here are three fall wedding tips that you won’t want to forget for the big day:

• Choose seasonal decorations. Want the perfect fall decor for your wedding? Not only can you choose wedding decoration rentals like arches and floral arrangements, but you can also make your own if you’re feeling inspired. If you’re a big fan of fall, incorporate leaves and gourds into your decor. You can also pick a color scheme that signals fall, with plenty of warm gold, orange, and red tones. In fact, this is a good general rule with your decor: choose three colors or shades and make sure that your linens and decorations all follow that theme. Additionally, if your outdoor wedding will last into the evening, make sure to hang string lights or lanterns, so your guests have some light when the sun goes down early.
• Pick out a fall-inspired menu. Although many people decry catered meals as bland and uninspired, this isn’t the case if you choose a menu that is in season and fresh. Fall is the perfect time for sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and savory soups and pasta dishes, in addition to hearty meat entrees. Make sure that you choose something seasonal, and don’t forget about your drinks, either. If you offer coffee or tea after a meal, at least 80% of your guests will accept your offer; if you plan for two to three drinks per person at an open bar, then that means your guests can get their fill of Octoberfest marzens and pumpkin spice ales.
• Don’t forget about rentals. In order to keep everyone sheltered and comfortable at your celebration, you’ll need to remember things like wedding tent rentals and table and chair rentals for your guests. Wedding tent rentals are a great option in case the weather turns cool, so your guests can escape to a heated tent. You can also pick out your linens, tables, and chairs for the ceremony when you use an event rentals service. This saves you the money you would spend buying these items yourself, and it will save you the embarrassment of not having enough seating for your guests, too.
