October is here and that means the official start of autumn was just a few weeks ago!

In the spirit of pumpkin spice and everything nice, here is a list of wedding ideas that will make your big day celebration feel as warm and cozy as your favorite fall sweater:

1. Fall foliage makes for a vibrant photo backdrop.
2. For an outdoor wedding, a crisp breeze makes your veil dance in the air.
3. If you’re getting married indoors, bring some of the foliage inside!
4. Caramel apples are a Fall staple and a perfect addition to your dessert display.
5. Don’t forget about the pumpkin apple cider donuts. ‘Tis the season!
6. Your guests certainly won’t complain about a tower of fall-flavored mini pies.
7. You can treat your guests to a decadent chocolate cake on a rustic cake stand.
8. Bridesmaid’s gowns in earthy tones complement the autumnal colors.
9. Plaid attire for groomsmen just screams fall.
10. A wheat boutonniere for the groom has loads of rustic charm.
11. For the bride, consider a bouquet in rich orange and yellow hues to mimic the changing leaves.
12. A classic wagon is an adorable addition to your wedding decor.
13. Use a wooden sign to let guests know what’s in store.
14. Share a welcoming message on a chalkboard
15. Use personalized beer bottles as understated centerpieces.
16. And just remember: You’re never, ever too old for a pumpkin-head photo picture.

The first of October, Innette & Robert Dominguez hired Ranch Events to cater Robert’s retirement party.  The following was a review posted on YELP from Robert:

“Outstanding event coordinating and venue staff.  My family coordinated my 20-year career retirement event.  240 guests. Julie assisted with planning, catering, directed us to a great fresh flower florist and phenomenal DJ.  The staff tended to guests professionally and very politely during the event. Adjusted the temperature of the Captain’s Ballroom as needed to keep guests comfortable. I strongly recommend Julie, her staff, and the Marina Village Conference Center to host your event.” read more

If you are trying to choose a month for your wedding, there’s something so warm and cozy about fall and this feeling lends itself to make a perfect time for a wedding. The color palette for this season is everything from orange and brown to deep green and the occasional deep purple. You can mimic the browns and oranges you would see out- side and pair them with gold and olive. This season can place an emphasis on natural elements you find in a rural setting, such as rustic farm tables and twigs to hold signs. Lilies and roses can be intertwined with artichokes and grapes that captured the abundance of the season. read more
