O nline retailers are offering 30- 40% off of new gowns, and even more on stock samples and discontinued items. Check their references, return policy and business rating. Though there is a definite savings involved, take into consideration that you probably will incur considerable alteration costs. Local stores may have sales, discontinued gowns and more. Our best advice is shop around, do not let a pushy sales person talk you in to a gown out of your price range or tell you the price is only good today to get your sale. Try on different styles to find what best fits your shape. Also watch your newspaper classifieds or local resale shops because you really never know what gems you could find!

Fabrics are a little heavier as the weather cools down, so your wedding gown might feature a longer sleeve length, richer laces and ribboning, as well as embroidered designs with rich embellishments. You may want to add a touch of color here, too, as wedding gown manufacturers have become more savvy to seasonal trends. You’ll want to look into some sort of shoulder wrap, as well, should the weather (or wind) become a little cooler as evening draws closer. Décor becomes ever important at your Fall wedding, and color choices are rich in golds, oranges, rusts, and all shades of green. Your flowers, both for your bouquet and table accents bring the season to your event in warm, earth tones. Of course, you can still utilize sea and island accents, including shells, sand, and candle décor, but you’ll want to enhance these to bring in the season. Try a color range of raffia ribbon or bamboo, as well as a wide variety of fresh fall flower accents. Combining colors, especially in the fall, makes for a wonderful visual, and your photographs will reflect the warmth and magnificence of Mother Nature. Your bridesmaid’s dresses and groomsmen attire can reflect your autumn wedding colors, as well. Your choice of refreshment can be Fall-focused, too. Ciders, wines, champagnes and other liqueurs reflect the autumn harvests. If you plan to serve a meal, you might consider fall foods, too, in addition to traditional bridal fare. Autumn foods include an Fall Weddings assortment of squashes and potatoes, breads and soups, to name a few. Your wedding consultant will certainly be of tremendous help By the Sea Transitional Colors Offer Exquisite Choices W Overall, these are all positives that speak to your pocketbook! Seaside weddings are no exception to this trend, and you can edding tradition speaks of spring and summer dates, but today’s brides are more often choosing off-season weddings for convenience, cost, and color! Statistics show that weddings are happening in every month of the year, and the fall is becoming even more popular than ever! The reasons are numerous – • Less demand for a particular venue means better value for you cooler weather provides more comfort for you and your guests • Fewer people at popular resorts, makes your event more private • availability of services (florists, musicians, caterers, photographers, and more) because the demand has decreased 10 | Beverly Clark make your wedding by the water just as spectacular in the autumn months as in the summer! Remember, the date you select for your wedding can have a significant impact on all of your costs. If you book your wedding during the premium months, everything will just be that much more in demand. See if the off-season or less popular months work just as well for you. The time of day is also a critical factor in the ultimate cost of your wedding, with earlier in the day tending to be less expensive than late afternoon or evening. to you in this area. Weddings are one of life’s most exciting times, and your Fall wedding is no exception. Planning is the key, and with a little thought, yours will be spectacular….and a treasured memory!
