Weddings in the fall have been quite popular among couples in love for a long time, because previously it was considered a good tradition, according to which this time of year is the best for getting married. That is why the season in question was sometimes the time for weddings in Rus'.
In the modern world, it has remained a favorite among newlyweds, second only to summer celebrations. Which is not surprising, because nature during such a period is beautiful: filled with bright colors and enchanting landscapes. We will tell you how to prepare for your wedding day if you have it planned for September, October or November.
Main pros and cons
Positive sides
- A slight drop in demand , and, consequently, prices for wedding services. And you can easily choose the date you like, it will probably be free.
- Fresh harvest and cheap prices . And those who have their own dacha will not have to buy it.
- The bride and groom do not have to hide their beautiful outfits under warm clothes. At the beginning of autumn it is still relatively warm, so a man will not freeze in a suit, and a girl can rent an elegant cape or fur coat, which will only add interest to her image.
- Most people are running out of vacations and, as a rule, everyone is in Russia, which means they will definitely be able to come to your celebration .
- Stunning photos , because nature in autumn is gorgeous. In September and October, you can walk through an ordinary courtyard on your wedding day, and even there you will get amazing shots. You will look great against the background of fallen leaves. Photos will sparkle with bright colors of orange, yellow, red, burgundy and green foliage.
- If you are going on a honeymoon abroad, immediately after the registry office, then this will be a great opportunity to extend your summer or arrange it when winter is almost upon everyone.
Negative sides
The only drawback is the weather conditions, which, unfortunately, are difficult to predict in advance. After all, at the beginning of autumn your wedding can be overshadowed by rain, mud and slush, and at the end by cold air temperatures.
Therefore, if you are going to have a photo shoot outside, do not forget to take umbrellas with you, and in November you may need mittens and scarves. But don’t despair, because with these accessories you can take funny shots and thereby diversify your photographs.
Straight-leg trousers + fancy blouse
Many of us are accustomed, after receiving an invitation to a wedding, to immediately drop everything and run to the stores in search of new things.
But now the whole world, especially the fashion industry, is striving for smart consumption. Therefore, if you are invited to a holiday, do not rush to the boutiques, but rather look into your wardrobe. We are sure there will be many interesting bows there.
A universal solution, in this case, would be a set of straight-cut trousers and a more original top - for example, a fancy blouse with ties or airy sleeves (probably everyone has this option). And most importantly, such an image can be easily complemented with simple shoes and a minimal amount of jewelry. You can limit yourself to a small handbag and a bracelet.
Where to spend
At the beginning of the season , when the weather is still warm, you can organize a banquet outdoors. Many people also do outdoor marriage registration in the open air. The following locations are suitable for this:
- park in the forest;
- romantic area by the pond;
- restaurant outside the city with an outdoor terrace.
If the wedding is planned outside, do not forget to take care of canopies that will save you in case of sudden precipitation, because the weather in autumn is unpredictable.
At the end of the season, it is better to choose places to celebrate under the roof. It could be:
- cafe Restaurant;
- karaoke club;
- a country house, a hotel, a tourist center or, in general, your own dacha.
Tweed suit with skirt
Once upon a time, the legendary Coco Chanel decided to dress all women in soft and stylish tweed.
Since then, tweed sets regularly appear in every collection of the French fashion house Chanel and in all fashion chronicles. They will fit perfectly into our wardrobes. A suit of a jacket and skirt will look stylish, elegant, but not pretentious. Perhaps this is the ideal solution for such a special event as a wedding. You can complement such an elegant look with a laconic handbag and pumps.

Bride
Outfit
In warm September and early October, it is quite appropriate to wear an outfit made of fashionable organza, romantic lace, natural silk or airy chiffon and tulle. But in November it is better to warm up a little; exquisite brocade, popular jacquard, elegant satin and other dense fabrics are suitable for this.
As for the styles, here too everything will depend on the month of your wedding. At the beginning of the season they look great:
- light flying models;
- fashionable suits and overalls made of lightweight materials;
- lace tops;
- floor-length skirts
From the classic options, you can choose a straight dress, a tight “Fish” or a sophisticated “A-line”. If you are afraid of precipitation, then you will probably like short dresses or ones with a detachable train. Dresses can be decorated with floral prints and appliqués, lace inserts, interesting flounces, and ruffles.
At the end of the autumn period, it is appropriate to look for more closed models with sleeves and a collar.
Also, the bride should think in advance what she will wear outside, over her dress. It can be anything:
- light fur coat;
- cape;
- scarf, shawl or stole;
A wonderful idea for a Russian folk wedding. - cardigan;
- blazer;
- bolero;
- coat;
- lace, fur or knitted cape;
- denim or leather jacket;
- sweater.
Shoes
Finding shoes for a girl for a wedding celebration in the fall is not a problem, because the newlywed has a lot of options. At the beginning of the season , open or closed shoes and ballet flats are undoubtedly suitable. But in October, it’s better not to take risks and pick up some nice shoes.
An interesting solution for a themed holiday would be to wear rubber or cowboy boots.
At the end of November , snow falls almost everywhere, so it is appropriate to wear boots, and if desired, change into slippers at the registry office and at the banquet.
As decoration, you can find shoes with fresh or artificial flowers, pearls, satin ribbons, lace elements, all kinds of sequins and stones, bows, rhinestones, sparkles, embroidery or beads.
As for color, it is not necessary to try to find white, because bright accents in the image are also needed. And if your outfit is completely snow-white, then you can choose shoes in a more saturated shade.
Bouquet
Wedding compositions, of course, are selected in accordance with the time of year you have chosen - in red, yellow, burgundy, orange shades, they are perfect for this period.
Typically, autumn bouquets are made of asters, dahlias, roses, chrysanthemums, ranunculus or gerberas, and are complemented with berries - viburnum and rowan, acorns, ears of wheat, dried grass, large beautiful leaves from maple or oak.
Hairstyle
As for holiday styling, it is recommended to give preference to more complex ones, for example, a high or low bun, a tight ponytail, and various braids. After all, in the autumn season it often rains and because of the humidity, simple hairstyles, for example, curls, can lose their original appearance.
During this season, hairstyles are often decorated with flowers and berries. The inflorescences can be woven into your hair, or you can choose a voluminous wreath or headband.
Groom
In early autumn , lightweight fabrics are still preferred; a man can choose a suit made of cotton or polyester. But in October and November it is better to wear thicker fabrics, for example, boucle, flannel, corduroy, velor, tweed, gabardine or cashmere.
It looks interesting on the groom at this time - a warm vest, cardigan or sweater. If it is very cold outside, then for a photo shoot in the fresh air it is appropriate to throw on a coat.
What exactly to wear and what look to choose will depend on the overall style of the wedding and, of course, the bride’s look. After all, newlyweds should look harmonious together.
Let's talk about the groom: all the fashion trends of November
In November, the groom has a great opportunity to look stylish and bright.
If you think through the image, taking into account the latest wedding trends, the guy will not be one iota inferior in efficiency to his chosen one.
Suit for the groom
In November, it is better to give preference to a three-piece suit.
It is preferable to choose a product made of woolen fabric.
Many grooms prefer tweed - a cozy and soft material.
Tweed suits look great in photos, as the fabric is considered quite textured.
For a November wedding, choose natural autumn shades of brown, dark blue and dark green, gray, burgundy, wine and mustard. Don't forget about the cage, which is perfect for both a wedding shirt and a suit.
A new wedding trend is the groom’s suit, the elements of which are selected separately. A jacket and trousers made from fabrics of different textures and colors look unusual.
Sweater, cardigan or knitted vest
You don't have to stick to a classic jacket in November.
Cold weather is a great reason to step out of the ordinary.
Consider replacing your jacket with a warm cardigan. A sweater or vest can be safely worn under a jacket.
It will be both beautiful and warm.
Coat
If painting is scheduled for late fall, consider a coat.
Choose a solid model that will add mystery and charm to the groom.
Don't forget about the little things for the groom
Every detail is important in the image of the groom. And the season is necessarily reflected in the choice of little things that make up a unique image.
Butterfly
In November, a butterfly will look original against the background of a warm suit.
In this case, it is better to choose a bowtie made of tweed or velvet. A stylish groom can opt for an unusual knitted bow tie.
Boutonniere
When choosing a boutonniere in November, consider options from dried flowers and succulents.
Using wheat ears, autumn leaves, rowan.
Details in the form of cones and acorns, cotton bolls and other natural materials look great.
Add burlap appliqués, feathers and other eco-friendly elements to your boutonniere.
Neckerchief and scarf
A perfectly chosen scarf can be the finishing touch to the groom's look.
A scarf will add mystery, and a neckerchief will add aristocracy to the guy. It can be voluminous or narrow, classic with a muted shade or bright, checkered.
Knitted scarves are especially original. The main thing is to choose a way to tie it so that such a warm, original accessory fits into the style.
Photoshoot
As we have said more than once, nature is irresistible at such a wonderful time of year. Therefore, it is advisable to arrange a street photo shoot against the backdrop of bright colorful landscapes:
- You can go to a city park or forest.
- Organize a small picnic among gold and burgundy leaves.
- Take a walk through a wheat field.
- Great shots are taken near the water, which reflects the entire autumn color scheme.
- You can also ride horses - this has become especially fashionable in recent years.
- For your walk in the fresh air, both an amusement park and a regular children's playground are suitable.
- Visit city attractions.
There are a huge number of options, and, of course, umbrellas, seasonal fruits and vegetables, balloons, and colored smoke will help diversify your autumn shots.
In the rain, newlyweds and even guests can wear multi-colored rubber boots, and in snowy weather, take mittens, scarves, sweaters and blankets with you. For cooler temperatures, it's a good idea to have a photoshoot in a professional studio, cafe, botanical garden or theater.
Bride's look at a November wedding
On the most important day in her life, the bride dreams of being a queen. Can weather conditions really hinder the fulfillment of a dream?
Of course not, if you place the right accents and choose the outfit and accessories for your November wedding.
Wedding in November: what should the bride wear?
The first question that brides are interested in is what dress to wear for a wedding in November.
Short dress
If you don’t want to collect all the dirt with the hem and stand out not with a snow-white, but with a dirty outfit, choose shortened options.
It doesn't have to be a mini dress. A cocktail version with a length no higher than the knees is suitable.
You can also consider models of tea length wedding dresses in retro style.
Choose a dress without an open top. Let the sleeves be long or three-quarter length. On a cool November day, such an outfit will be more appropriate and will prevent you from freezing.
Dress transformer
If you still dream of a long dress, take advantage of the idea of fashion designers - consider the option of a transformable dress. This outfit features a detachable train skirt or fluffy crinolines.
This way you can look like a queen at the celebration itself and not worry about the cleanliness of your outfit while walking.
Knitted dress
A knitted dress for the bride remains an original idea for late autumn. This is a real find for late autumn. Usually this outfit is made to order.
Therefore, a knitted dress for a bride is always exclusive. And it, of course, will not allow the girl to freeze.
Simply shorten the item slightly and remove some overly colorful elements - and you're ready for a glamorous cookout party.
Outerwear ideas for a bride in November
You will have to choose options for what outerwear to wear over the dress.
During a walk and a photo shoot, the bride will be quite cold in one wedding dress.
Bolero
Short capes like these are a great idea for a November wedding.
But fluffy and knitted boleros are considered the most suitable for an autumn wedding theme.
Cape
A stole carelessly thrown over the bride's shoulders is simply a designer find for an autumn outfit. This could be a ready-made warm cape or a knitted shawl.
Cardigan
A cardigan that is familiar to everyone, as casual wear in autumn, can easily become a bright element of a wedding look.
Your look will be unique and stylish.
Blazer
A jacket will help create an informal look. This can be either an elegant costume element - worn over a delicate white dress, it will emphasize the elegance of the bride, or a playful denim jacket that fits perfectly into the grunge style.
Leather Jacket
And if you want to create a daring look, consider a leather jacket. And it doesn't have to be a biker wedding.
By choosing a leather jacket in light pastel shades, you can maintain the tenderness of the bride’s image. And playing with contrasts, combining a white dress with a black jacket, will emphasize individuality.
Coat
If the thermometer still tends to fall below zero, consider a coat or light raincoat. These clothes can be worn over a wedding dress for a walk if the sun refuses to come out on your wedding day.
What shoes should a bride wear to a fall wedding?
There are many signs and folk traditions associated with the bride’s shoes. Beautiful cute stiletto heels - for a long time other options were simply not considered.
Brides could not even imagine that they could wear boots or boots to their wedding. And they paraded through snowdrifts and huge puddles in light but traditional shoes.
Fortunately, modern wedding trends have greatly expanded the horizons of brides’ wardrobes.
Leather for a rustic wedding, cowboy for a cowgirl, cute white for a classic, rubber for a rainy, fur trim for a frosty one. Whatever boots you choose for your wedding in November, your feet will be warm and the photos will be amazing.
And at any time you can replace your boots with traditional shoes - no one forbids the bride to have two pairs of shoes at her wedding.

Signs promising wealth in the home
A wedding in November is perfect in many ways. Signs portend grace and wealth, and nature surprises with its colors.
For a happy family life, the bride’s attributes must contain a yellow tint, for example, a bouquet consisting of autumn flowers, decorated in golden tones.
To live in wealth and financial well-being, the holiday table should be decorated with branches of viburnum, the berries of which are a symbol of November.
On the wedding day, it is better for the first woman to enter the house with a bouquet of autumn leaves, with which she will bring prosperity to the new family.
Styles
Modern newlyweds love to have a wedding in a certain style. If you are also interested in this idea, then we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the options for the autumn period.
Rustic
If you are close to nature, the aroma of flowers and greenery, home comfort and everything simple, then choosing a rustic theme would be a great idea.
It is appropriate to organize such a celebration outdoors, and ideally in the countryside. A dacha, a rented cottage outside the city or a beautiful place in the forest will do.
A girl should put on a long sundress or an airy dress and complement the look with a wreath of wildflowers and the same bouquet. The groom will look great on trousers made of light fabric or jeans in combination with a shirt, vest, suspenders, cap or hat.
In the design, use:
- natural materials: chintz, linen, cotton;
- a stack of hay;
- wicker furniture;
- fabric bags with grain;
- sunflowers and so on.
Cowboy
High boots, hats, jeans, horses, burlap and wood are all cowboy style. It is better to organize such a wedding outdoors, somewhere outside the city. A great idea is an equestrian club or an estate with horses.
For a bride's outfit, a short dress with leather laces on a corset or a sundress is suitable. A hat, a denim vest and stylish cowboy boots will help to further convey the desired image.
For the groom, it would be great to choose a checkered shirt, vest, jeans with a leather belt and a voluminous buckle, as well as high boots with spurs and a holster with a revolver.
Vintage
The “Vintage” theme will look very harmonious in the autumn season. The clothes of the bride and groom should look as if they were taken from grandma's chest. This style involves lace, flowing fabrics, beige, sand and grayish-pink tones.
The bride's look includes headdresses - elegant voluminous hats and tiny “pills” with a veil, as well as fur capes, classic suits and straight floor-length dresses. The groom will suit a suit made of thick fabric in gray-brown shades.
Retro
If you want to plunge into the twenties and thirties of the last century, then you will certainly like a wedding in the spirit of American retro. In this case, the newlywed needs to focus her appearance on a long straight outfit, a fur boa, a pearl necklace, and a retro-style hairstyle will help complete the look. It is appropriate for the future husband to wear a formal suit with a bow tie.
The color palette of the celebration in question should include pastel colors.
In the style of "Autumn"
To decorate your wedding day in the “Autumn” style, you will need large maple or oak leaves, pumpkins, apples, sunflowers, viburnum, rowan, ears of wheat and other attributes that remind you of this time of year.
We mentioned the autumn color scheme above.
Halloween style
As everyone knows, Halloween falls in October. Therefore, creative lovers can have a wedding in the style of this holiday. Long black gloves, a veil, luxurious jewelry and, of course, gothic dresses will look great on the bride. To maintain the look, the groom can choose a tuxedo and top hat, as well as a tie in the shape of a bat and cufflinks in the shape of pumpkins or skulls.
The color scheme of such an extraordinary theme must necessarily include: black, red, orange and yellow shades. Brave newlyweds can even paint their faces, as those who celebrate Halloween do.
Three-piece trouser suit
This set will be the best choice for events of absolutely any scale.
In the now trendy three-piece suit, you will look luxurious both at a friends wedding, at a prom, or just at some party. This image can be complemented at your discretion. For example, you can get by with elegant sandals and a minimal amount of laconic jewelry. Or, on the contrary, “load” the look a little - add a shirt, massive accessories and pumps to the vest.
Folk signs
- September is the most favorable autumn month for marriage. It promises a happy, strong, quiet, harmonious, calm and long-term family life, with mutual respect between spouses for each other. A new life is the beginning of a good thing;
- October is the least suitable month for marriage. Although it will bring wealth to the family, it will also reward it with difficulties, disputes and conflicts;
- November - will present the spouses with a happy, peaceful, carefree, measured and financial life;
- This time of year was considered the most suitable for marriage. Despite the fact that autumn will bring difficulties into the lives of husband and wife, if they can overcome them together, then the family will be truly strong, happy and harmonious. It also promises wealth for lovers, although the path to it will be full of labor and work.
An autumn wedding can become a truly soulful and warm holiday. The main thing is to carefully prepare for it, plan everything in advance and remember the possible vagaries of the weather. We hope that we have helped with advice and wish you a colorful and memorable celebration!
When is the best time to get married in November?
Our ancestors believed that couples who got married in November would be able to live a happy life together. Prosperity awaits them. The newlyweds will be faithful to each other.
In addition, there were various signs. Even bad weather was a good sign. If the morning was frosty, a strong baby would be born into the family, and snow meant happiness, and rain meant wealth.
If you rely on the lunar calendar, new moon days are considered unfavorable days for marriage. Marriages concluded during the waxing moon will bring a happy life, mutual understanding and love.
There are practically no restrictions on the church calendar. It is better not to plan a celebration for the last days of the month, since the Nativity fast begins on November 28.
You can rely on the church or lunar calendar when choosing a holiday date or choose a day convenient for your guests. The choice remains only for the newlyweds.

The luckiest days in August are the 11th and 12th.
(Sunday and Monday). The moon these days will be located in the sign of Capricorn, which indicates a strong and long marriage, especially if the marriage is with a widower.
There are also many valid days, but I would like to highlight August 16 and 17, 2019

Beautiful dates:
08.08.19
- this is a good day for marriage. Venus and Jupiter will be in harmony, which will give good support to this marriage, despite the position of the Moon in the sign of Scorpio. It is especially good to enter into a first marriage for both spouses.
19.08.19
- Not a very good day. The Moon will be located in the daring sign of Aries and square with Saturn: such a marriage can end very quickly, and the spouses will remain enemies and will not maintain friendly relations after the divorce.
