There’s something about Fall that makes us all want to stay in and snuggle up. Somehow it’s also a very popular time to tie the knot. Of course, you can’t beat the weather or the scenery, so it makes total sense. When planning your big day, try throwing in a few cozy touches. Your friends and family, who love you, but would otherwise be tucked in and watching Netflix, will thank you.

  1. Comfort Food

Have you ever thought about how great Fall food is? For example; caramel apples, pies, popcorn and even donuts. It’s like a build up to Thanksgiving! These comfort foods make for great wedding desserts and cocktail hour snacks.

4. Autumnal Alchohol

Gone are the spritzers of Summer! Your guests will jump at the chance to warm up with a cup of hot apple cider. Spike it with some rum for a fun kick! And those fall themed cocktails? They’re as tasty as they are Instagramable.
