english countryside autumn wedding tips

Thinking of having your own English countryside autumn wedding? Here are my top three tips.

HAVE AN INDOOR VENUE BACKUP PLAN. The UK is known for its unpredictable weather so come prepared. So think about this from the start before you even choose your venue. Go for a wedding venue that can cater to both an indoor and outdoor wedding. Not sure where to start? Here’s a list of the things you need to ask about wedding venues to help you figure this out. And here’s a guide to one of my favorite English countryside autumn wedding venues, Euridge Manor.

INTRODUCE POPS OF COLOR. Spring and summer weddings are mostly associated with pastels and light color palettes. But autumn is a good opportunity to introduce a bit of color. Add contrast to your wedding palette and make it more fun. Feeling adventurous? Read about some autumn wedding ideas you might want to try here.

FIND A LOCAL WEDDING PLANNER. Make your life easier by letting an expert plan your dream English countryside autumn wedding. Whether you’re based overseas or locally, a planner will save you from a lot of stress. I wouldn’t underestimate the value of an excellent local wedding planner even for a micro wedding. Curious to know why? Well, take look at this beautiful Ardington House micro wedding.
