Plannnig fall or even early winter wedding is not as hard as one may think. First the colors, it all depends on if your going to run with the colors of the season or if your going to go with your favorite colors. Nothing is set in stone stating that you've got to use seasonal colors. Going to theknot.com and theweddingchannel.com will give you wonderful ideas for the use of colors, themes and other things. You can always check i-wed.com and ask some pros for help as well it never hurts to ask around.
Congrats and good luck

theknot.com is very helpful when planning your wedding they give you everything you need to get started a checklist to help keep you on track. You can post your invitation on there and have people RSVP and also sign a guest book. You can also upload your pic's from the wedding,engagement,honeymoon for all those who couldn't make it still see you shine on YOUR day! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! As far as colors are concerned think about winter colors for example: sapphire blue, emerald green really i think any darker colors would look nice for winter weddings. I got married in May and i had a two-tone wedding(Ivory,Lilac and Lavender).My matron-of-honor and maid-of-honor dressed were lilac and lavender and my bridesmaids wore lilac. I hope i was able to give you some good ideas and i planned my entire wedding with the help of theknot.com in less than 5 months.

I got married in October once...(I know, interesting first sentence, long story) The colors were the traditional black and white but the groomsmen had dark red vests and ties, the bridesmaids had black, strapless, full-length gowns with a white strip of fabric around the chest portion and the groom and I both work white (with the groom wearing a red vest as well). I had my hair up with an alstromaria on the right side of my 40's style, glamorous do. For flowers, red-orange alstrmarias are to dies for. I mixed them with red roses and orange lillys. It was absolutely beautiful and very memorable. Everyone still talks about it. we did black candles on mirrored plates on the tables with fake red rosepetals strewn about and we had black lanterns hanging from the cieling. I did the entire wedding, including my dress (David's Bridal) for $3,000. It was incredible. Need more help, email me, I'll see if I can find pictures.

I am planning my wedding also, it is for september 20,2008, which is also a fall wedding. Think of colors that are rich and earthy, mine are pink and brown, the guys will be wearing brown tuxedos(jim's formal wear) My gown will be either ivory or champagne. But there are fall/autumn wedding themes on the net, really cute stuff for decorations/favors. Good Luck!

Relax, breath, organize. Right now concentrate on getting the church, reception hall, and music booked. You can find wedding planners at Barnes and Noble and you can keep organized that way. Find out how much you are able to spend on this wedding and start ordering your cake, caterer, start looking at styles for your dress, your bridesmaids dresses. Pick a color for your wedding. I recommend something original but make usre its easy to find. for my sister's 15anera we had a very beautiful apple green color but it was so difficult to match that we ended up with different greens.

My wedding was on December 7 and I loved it. I wouldn't change the date for anything. I picked Silver & Red as our colors, they fit with the season and I liked them. Have you bought your dress yet? If not, you should. That will pick the 'formality' of the reception. Once you have the colors & the dress picked, things will start falling into place.
Good Luck & Congrats!

I would love to help brainstorm with you! I am not a wedding planner, but I consider myself creative. Feel free to email me if you want! Do you like fall colors? You need to look through some bride magazines, and get some ideas first, then go from there! Have fun!! And congrats!!

My sister got married in November, and it was beautiful. Her colors were brown and tan with pink accents, which we were unsure of at first, but it ended up being really pretty. I would start by finding sites for your ceremony and reception. Once you narrow down the date and location, everything else is a lot easier to coordinate. Good luck and have fun!!

Choose a date/Find and book a location
(These 2 things go hand and hand).
Find a minister to marry you
Decide on attendants and groomsmen
Find dresses / Decide on Tuxedos
Choose Flowers
Choose Caterer and plan menu
I got married in December....we incorporated cranberries and garnet color flowers with white/cream colored flowers and they were beautiful! I bought martini glasses and filled the bottom of the glasses with cranberries and then water and topped with a floating candle. They were very elegant on the reception table.
