Autumn Menus
Autumn wedding menus are all about comfort food. As the temperature drops and leaves begin to fall, we’re no longer looking at fresh summer salads or light bites. Autumn wedding menus should embrace the season, giving guests a warm and delicious meal to start a great evening. Using locally grown and in-season food means your wedding feast will be fresher, more vibrant and tastier than imported or artificially grown ingredients. Think locally grown root veggies like squash, carrots, and gourd, in-season herbs picked from a Wicklow garden and wonderfully prepared local, free-range chicken, pork and beef. Our team of chefs will prepare a meal for your wedding that your guests will talk about for years to come.
Autumn Wedding Attire
As the temperature drops, attendees and couples of autumn weddings can wear warmer, more comfortable wedding attire. Forget bare shoulders and short dresses, you can expect to see floor-length gowns, deep colours and fur shawls in Autumn. Pale pink or blue florals might look out of place this time of year, but darker hues are an appropriate choice for an autumn or winter wedding. Rich, darker colours like emerald, green, black, navy, and burgundy are always popular and nicely contrast the bright white of the wedding dress. Men can embrace comfort with tweed suits and darker colours with crisp white shirts. Autumn weddings give guests and couples the freedom to choose comfort and warmth.
Autumn Flowers
Don’t worry about not having the most vibrant flowers for your autumn wedding. These days you can get flowers of all sizes, shapes and colours at all times of the year. However, using in-season flowers means brighter, fresher blooms that last longer. It’s also more environmentally friendly to use flowers that are locally grown and seasonal as less artificial heat and transport are needed to produce your bouquet. Choose autumnal colours like deep red and burnt orange for your autumn bouquet. Popular flower choices for autumn bouquets include Chrysanthemums, Iris, Sunflowers, Delphinium, Freesia and so many more. A great florist will help you design and choose a bouquet using their expert knowledge to choose flowers that are in season and will last.
Spectacular Scenery
Autumn is about embracing change, the most obvious of which is the weather. The leaves change from green to gold, the trees become bare and atmospheric, and the temperature drops dramatically. The evening sunlight at this time of the year is particularly beautiful and can result in some magnificent wedding pictures. Make the most of the beautiful surroundings of our Wicklow wedding venue and capture some pictures for the most important album of your life. It’s also a great opportunity to take a couple of minutes with your other half without family and friends to reflect on the day and remember why you’re there.
