Q What is your advice on planning an autumn wedding?
A Georgia says: Choose the right venue. At this time of year, it's important your venue is versatile. Look for places with both outside space in case of warmer weather, as well as a comfortable indoor space for guests when the temperature drops in the evening.

Check the weather. Autumn weather can be unpredictable, with the chance of rain or cooler temperatures. Have a backup plan if you've decided on an outdoor ceremony. Tents and heaters can help keep guests comfortable. Encourage your guests to dress warmly.

Dress for the season. Brides may want to choose heavier fabrics for their dresses, such as satin or velvet, consider accessorising with a wrap or shawl for extra warmth. For the groom and bridal party, consider earth-toned suits and fall-coloured accessories.

Seek picture-perfect light. As daylight decreases in autumn, plan your ceremony and photos accordingly. An earlier ceremony may be better to ensure you have enough natural light for your photographs. For evening receptions, use warm, romantic lighting to create a cosy glow.
