text: Autumn is a beautiful time to get married! I love Indian Summers - (is it still politically correct to say that? I don't want to seem insensitive. ;-)\n\nI would say: (1) a deep, rich wine or plum color or (2) moss green or (3) a beautiful earthenly champagne color. Have you ever seen the pictures of Cindy Crawford in a champagne-colored dress when she was a bridesmaid/attendant for one of her model friends? That is the color I am thinking of and it was stunning! I hope you know what I mean. It was in People Magazine a few years ago.\n\nLast year, I attended a late fall wedding in Sicily, Italy. The reception was held in a castle. The attendants had shimmery gold, rustic brown and forest green dresses. Each one was a different color and it was gorgous beyond gorgous. Coupled with the massive wrap-around outdoor terrace, the Greek-syle columns in this place, cashmere walls and paintings worth a small fortune, a luxury yacht moored in the Meditteranean with little blinking strings of light everywhere, right off the grounds....it was like a fairy-tale. I know this is a bit much that most people can afford but I have no idea of your income / means.\n\nHere is another idea that may be hard to envision but someone I know did their entire wedding in black & white. I must admit I thought it was not a good idea - but it was done with class and luxury and was the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. All the guests agreed. I know the wedding planner of that one if you need some tips!\n\nYou can have a beautiful wedding on any budget. Love is the magical ingredient that makes it all beautiful. Often times, too much emphasis is put on the wedding and not enough on the marriage. Congratulations and best wishes on entering this exciting phase of your life! Good luck!
