Why Are Fall Weddings So Popular?
We’re pulling back the curtain on what makes fall weddings so captivating and in such high demand.
Matt Lien
The numbers simply don’t lie - 43% of all weddings happen from September - November, according to a recent study by The Knot. Look even closer and you’ll find that October is the most popular month to get married in the United States.
Fall effortlessly exudes natural beauty in Minnesota and is by far our busiest season at Legacy Hill Farm.
As the weather turns cool and the landscape transforms into a kaleidoscope of warm colors, guests at Legacy Hill Farm feel like they are stepping into a living masterpiece. It’s the perfect setting to enjoy a fall wedding in Minnesota.
Fall offers an idyllic inviting environment for couples to get married surrounded by their friends and family.
Romantic Ambiance
There’s an inherent romanticism associated with fall, making it the perfect season to say “I do.” The soft glow of candles, the warmth of bonfires, and the twinkle lights create a modern romantic ambiance that elevates the entire wedding experience.
As the sun sets earlier in the fall, couples and their guests get to enjoy all the best features of a fall wedding in Minnesota. At Legacy Hill Farm fall weddings get to enjoy more hours of darkness in the evening - which mean more hours to enjoy the cafe lighting, feature lights, bonfire, patio heaters, star filled skies, and up lighting throughout the property. Plus, guests love that they get to enjoy all of these things while easily walking on our paved paths after dark.
Autumn Inspired Desserts
From apple pies to pumpkin desserts, fall weddings know how to do dessert well.
Looking for incredible pies for your fall wedding? Stockholm Pie is a favorite among our couples. We’ve heard they even offer a Red Wing, MN pick up option.
Dreaming of the perfect pumpkin doughnut? Hanisch Bakery has an impressive array of fall doughnuts that make the perfect fall wedding dessert spread.
Coffee Bars
There’s just something extra special about getting to enjoy a handcrafted coffee by a skilled barista on your fall wedding day at Legacy Hill Farm. That’s why we love it when we see couples bring in Minneapolis Coffee Cart. They offer an incredible espresso bar and cold brew menu that you and your guests will be raving about as you sip your favorite brews during guest arrival, social hour, or even throughout the evening during your dance.
The Scent of Pumpkin Spice
There’s just something about a good fall candle - and one of our favorite things is when we smell these incredibly scented candles sprinkled throughout an event experience.
No one does this better than Hello Wildflower - we frequently find the absolute best smelling fall candles hidden into their furniture lounge decor when they are on site at Legacy Hill Farm decorating for weddings. We love it when weddings strategically position fall scented candles throughout the property to enhance their experience and we love it when Hello Wildflower thoughtfully infuses the scent of fall in their autumn event designs.
Share The Warmth
At Legacy Hill Farm guests get to enjoy an indoor / outdoor experience that creates a setting where guests can fully enjoy the magic of fall. We’ve thoughtfully designed our venue so that guests get to comfortably experience fall in Minnesota - not just look out a window at it. Our venue was intended to let you feel the seasons while also giving you thoughtfully designed comfortable weather protected spaces.
We’ve seen couples press into the cozy vibe of fall by providing baskets of warm blankets for their guests throughout the property and by having sofas and cozy furniture lounges brought into the property by Hello Wildflower that are then strategically set up with patio heaters nestled around them. The ambiance of these comfortable dreamy candlelit fall lounges is truly magical.
It’s a great idea for couples getting married in the fall to remind their guests to dress for the weather. Layered looks, jackets, shawls, and coats are popular among our fall wedding guests. Most of our couples choose to get married outside at our outdoor ceremony site option throughout the fall months. An indoor ceremony site option is available as well.
An Attitude of Gratitude
Thankfulness and gratitude are woven into the rhythm of fall. Their influence drives the inherent desire people share to gather together during the autumn season.
There’s something special about sharing stories together around a bonfire on a crisp autumn evening, and then gathering with cozy blankets surrounded by candles while talking to all of your best friends, and then dancing endlessly in the crisp autumn evening all on one single epic wedding night at Legacy Hill Farm.
Every year we find that we’ve slowly forgotten how truly magical the fall wedding months are… but every year we are undoubtedly amazed by them again. They are an absolute untouchable vibe filled with warmth and color, crispness and flavor, coziness and potential unlike any other wedding season.
And every year we are reminded of exactly why fall weddings are such a big. deal.
With You, For You.
