Autumn Leaves
| Q | What is your advice on planning an autumn wedding? |
| A | Sarah Boalch says: Autumn is such a magical time to get married, the colours from changing leaves create the most beautiful backdrop for photographs for one! Incorporating those autumnal vibes into your ceremony could include dressing your ceremony space with themed florals, but why not include a handfasting braid to match? A handfasting is an ancient Celtic tradition, which sees the couple's hands bound to symbolise how their lives are now bound by the promises they have made to each other. Celebrants each have their own way of performing handfastings. For me, I love to bind the couple in braids that, when released, form an infinity knot – symbolic and a beautiful keepsake! I hand-weave all the braids so incorporating autumnal colours would be no problem. Another idea to include your guests would be to place an artificial leaf and pen on each chair, during the ceremony they'll write how they feel in that moment with you before throwing them like confetti as you walk back down the aisle at the end. The leaves are then collected up for you to create a keepsake from whether that be a family tree type canvas or to simply keep them in a special box – unique, colourful and fun! Plus, your aisle confetti photos would be amazing! |
