It wasn’t all that long ago that if you were planning an indoor-outdoor wedding, June was your month. But today’s bride and groom are looking to September and October for that. Our event planners count a whopping 17 weddings this month alone. What’s driving this change from early Spring to early Fall?
For one, we tend to have more rain in the spring than the fall. Another compelling reason for scheduling a fall wedding is that mid-western early falls are graced by fairly-even temperatures and… lush with color (hello, frame-worthy photos!)
Sometimes the weddings themselves are held in lovely country gardens such as those we love at the Conservatory at Evergreen (https://theconservatoryatevergreen.com/). The grounds are surrounded by fall foliage that makes wedding photographs absolutely pop! Owing to its location at the edge of Eagle Creek, the views include tons of woods and sparkling water, too. Guaranteed to delight your guests.
Another fab fall choice? Consider holding wedding vows and your reception at the tastefully decorated 100+ year old barn and farmhouse at Mustard Seed Gardens (https://www.mustardseedgardens.com/) in Noblesville. There’s lots of space to get ready before the wedding, as well as light-filled rooms inside to mingle, dance on sweeping oak hardwood floors, enjoy a cocktail at the stunning bar, or wander among the ancient maple trees, lush lawn, and outdoor fireplace outside. The ease of moving from indoor-to-outdoor spaces makes fall weddings here charming, immersive and memorable.
Industrial chic is another happening trend for fall weddings. That’s why several Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering bridal parties chose with MillTop Center (www.milltop-indy.com) in Noblesville. There, brides can make a dramatic entrance down a gorgeous curved staircase into towering brick-lined rooms chockfull of historic elegance enhanced by dazzling chandeliers. Multiple (and fun-themed) prep rooms for brides and grooms, and great accoustics for live music and dancing.
Like we say, Fall just plain works for weddings. And… we know some pretty great places to get you started with your plans. Let’s talk, taste, plan, and create some crisp and colorful wedding memories!
