Designer Fall Wedding Stationery

In New England the autumn season seems to go by way too quickly.  Some years are better than others for color, and we all dread a windy storm coming through that will snatch our colorful leaves away too soon.

Where I live, in southwestern New Hampshire, leaves can begin to change as early as late August.  It's always a bit of a shock to see color when it's still hot outdoors.

The leaves really begin to change in September, which is always a beautiful month, but by mid to late October foliage season is winding down.

For the best chance to see gorgeous color, the first two weeks of October are generally spectacular!

To keep up with the color, view the Foliage Map at the Yankee Foliage site, during the season.

Fall weddings are beautiful, but couples who want to get married in New England in the Fall season may have trouble booking a venue, especially if the wedding will be small.

My daughter is planning her wedding and wants to get married in a small Inn in northern New Hampshire and we are finding that many of them won't commit to booking a wedding during peak "leaf peeping" times.

Peak time for leaf viewing in New England usually runs from mid-September to mid-October so at the very least begin your venue search early and if you find a place to celebrate, be ready for possible crowds of 'leaf peepers' everywhere you go!

Fall Leaves Wedding Sticker

Trees, real and designed or drawn, are popular choices for fall wedding invitations, like the Love Birds Falling Hearts Oak Tree invitations shown here and created by InvitationBlvd at Zazzle.  Trees are what make the Fall season what it is, and whether it's bare branches with leaves floating down, or scenic wooded areas, the stationery can be simple or elegant and there are a lot of paper options.

Zazzle is a great site to find specialty wedding invitation sets.  With so many talented designers making unique wedding paper, your invitations can be custom made to your specifications.  Most designers give customers the option to contact and make requests.  Keep in mind that most every wedding invitation you see can be altered.  From the font styles and colors to the size of the cards, and specialty envelopes can even be made to match some of the invitation sizes.

Choose traditional flowers of fall for wedding bouquets and table centerpieces or go with a more non-traditional flower choice in traditional fall colors.

The orange orchid stationery is perfect for Autumn with it's bright coloring. Orange orchids could also adorn the bridal bouquet or tables at the reception.

More orange flower ideas would be roses, ranunculus, Gerbera daisies, calla lilies, alstromeria (aka Peruvian lilies), and big dahlias.

If you have never used the Vacation Rentals By Owner (VRBO) site, you are missing out on some unique and wonderful places to stay on vacation.  Or find the perfect country setting to spend the honeymoon in the heart of New England.

Just pick your favorite spot in the northeast, and search the site for a home on the ocean, in the Lakes Region, or the mountains.  The site includes photos and complete descriptions of the residence, usually with personal reviews from previous renters.
