With fall right around the corner, it's time to prepare for more than just the pumpkin spice lattes and sweater weather; it's peak wedding season! Whether you're planning an upcoming wedding, simply looking for some inspo, or preparing for the wedding of a loved one, TillingHouse has listed some fall essentials to really incorporate the season into the big day. They come from what we see working at fall weddings in Monmouth County every year.
Ambiance, Decor, and Venue
One of the most breathtaking parts of fall is the natural color palette that paints the foliage. TillingHouse wedding venue in Eatontown, NJ, boasts expansive outdoor grounds to provide a picturesque backdrop to any fall wedding ceremony. With some added seasonal decor—such as pumpkins, lanterns, and rustic wood accents—transform the already beautiful landscape of TillingHouse into a harvest haven.
Consider dahlias, mums, and sunflowers for an added floral touch, and fall produce like apples, pears, and pomegranates could serve as centerpieces. Jewel-toned and earthy accent colors would complement the natural colors of fall exquisitely. String lights or fire pits can additionally heighten the romantic atmosphere as the ceremony eases into dusk. TillingHouse can also accommodate indoor locations, meaning guests have a warmer retreat for any particularly chilly nights. Taking advantage of the dual locations can elevate the night, giving guests multiple changes of scenery.
Food & Drink
Food and drinks are crucial to ensuring that the wedding party and guests are fueled for a night of celebration. An autumn-inspired menu—with dishes such as butternut squash soup or pumpkin cheesecake—could be a delicious way to tie it all together. Seasonal cocktails such as spiked apple cider or pumpkin margaritas can also tastily warm guests up.
At TillingHouse, your wedding culinary experience is crafted entirely in-house, with the team handling every detail. Led by Chef Ryan DePersio, TillingHouse's culinary staff provides you with ultimate gourmet excellence.
Wedding Attire
The unstable weather of fall can make it difficult to choose what to wear. With sometimes warmer and sometimes cooler weather, being prepared for anything the night might throw at you is crucial for an exceptional time. Depending on the provided dress code, attire options can differ. Nevertheless, these tips and tricks for a fall wedding could help make your desired outfit perfect.
Women can opt for shawls or long-sleeved dresses, combining elegance and comfort into one style. Heavier fabrics and textiles such as leather, cashmere, or velvet can provide warmth while still maintaining the sophistication of your outfit. Instead of heels, wedges or classy boots may be more favorable for ceremonies with outdoor venues. Men can go for tweed or wool suits for that added, yet removable, trendy layer of warmth. If outdoor seating is available, consider providing blankets and cozy socks for that added relief from the cold.
No matter what your desired wedding needs are, TillingHouse can help make your special day unforgettable!
