Why is October Now the Most Popular Wedding Month?

Updated: Jun 27, 2023

Fall is a magical time of year, and October weddings have become increasingly popular in recent years. With cooler temperatures, vibrant foliage, and a cozy atmosphere, October is a beautiful month to tie the knot. Here are a few reasons why October weddings are so special:

Beautiful backdrop: The changing leaves and autumnal colors provide a stunning backdrop for your wedding photos. Whether you opt for a rustic outdoor wedding or a more formal affair, the fall foliage creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.


Mild weather: In many parts of the country, October brings mild weather that's perfect for outdoor weddings. Cooler temperatures mean you can enjoy your special day without worrying about sweating through your dress or overheating in your suit.


Seasonal decor: From pumpkins and gourds to hay bales and cornstalks, there are plenty of seasonal decor options to choose from when planning an October wedding. Incorporating these elements into your wedding decor can create a warm and cozy atmosphere that's perfect for a fall wedding.


  1. Off-peak pricing: October is typically considered an off-peak month for weddings, which means that you may be able to save money on venues, catering, and other wedding-related expenses.



If you're considering an October wedding, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

  1. Book early: October weddings are becoming more popular, so it's important to book your venue and other vendors early to ensure you get the dates and services you want.

  2. Be flexible: While October weather is generally mild, it's still important to have a backup plan in case of rain or other inclement weather. Consider indoor options or tents in case the weather turns.

  3. Embrace the season: Incorporating seasonal elements into your wedding decor, such as fall leaves or seasonal flowers, can help create a cohesive and beautiful atmosphere.

Overall, October weddings offer a beautiful and unique backdrop for your special day. With the right planning and preparation, your October wedding can be a magical and memorable event for you and your guests.

Rachel and Samuel were so incredibly trusting towards me when it came to capturing their wedding day. They truly were one of my favorite couples to work with and just went with the flow. Samuel and his groomsmen were so much fun to photograph and hang out with, while Rachel and her bridesmaids were so welcoming and almost made me feel like I was an unofficial member of the bridal party. The whole week leading up to their wedding was so cold, with temperatures only in the mere 30s, but Saturday rolled in with a high in the mid-70s, making this day even more perfect. Rachel and Samuel had so much fun together and their love for each other is crystal clear; they simply could not stop smiling at each other!


Much love,
