If getting married in the Spring after we graduated from college wasn’t the best plan for me and my husband, we definitely would have had an Autumn wedding. Kentucky girls like myself have an innate love for Fall and all that the season brings (i.e. sweaters, boots, scarves, bonfires, cool weather and pumpkin everything). What better way to top off the perfect-weather-season than with some nuptials?
At the first sight of Fall, stores break out the candles, wreaths, and other essential décor. Talk about having everything you need to decorate your ceremony and reception space at your fingertips!
If you are having your wedding during this season, chances are you’re almost, if not completely finished planning your big day. But if you need some last-minute inspiration for fun activities to make sure your guests get to enjoy the wonderful things Autumn gatherings bring, or if your wedding is next Fall, here are a few ideas!
Fall-Themed Snack/Dessert/Drink Bars
DIY Snack bars at your reception are a great way to keep your guests active while waiting on you and your entourage to arrive and can encourage them to stick around after eating dinner. Embrace the season and its yummy food staples with one of these snack bars!

Fall-themed Games/Activities
Everyone loves a good game of pumpkin bowling and bobbing for apples. Keep your guests entertained with a fun game!
Fall-Themed Personal Touches
Send your guests on their way with favors that say “Fall!” Don’t forget the little touches to include throughout your ceremony and reception. They may seem tedious and unnecessary, but you will be glad you did them – especially when you get the link to your pictures from your photographer. :)
