Growing up in San Diego, coloring paper leaves in class and stringing them together was the closest thing I had to fall foliage. After having the opportunity to travel, I fell in love with fall. The vibrant red, orange, and yellow leaves of Kyoto and Nara, among others, remain one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Another great thing about this season is the temperature. It’s perfect. On some days, you are visited by an early morning fog or treated to a light rain. Neither are bothersome. In fact, they can set the scene – one fit for a wedding. The most popular months for a wedding include not only June and August, but also September, when autumn begins, and October. And why not? There are so many charming things about fall, more than just Halloween, Thanksgiving, and orange. **Below you will find a collection of the most creative and romantic fall wedding ideas.
