Is September 3 too early for a fall themed wedding? Starting to regret our date choice

Do what you want! Besides, everything turns to pumpkin spice on Sept 1st, so I think you're good...lol

I think you're fine!

I think the darker colors would be fine. Pick whatever colors/theme makes you happy!

If DD sells me pumpkin spice coffee September 1st the day i return to work why can't you have a fall wedding?

I think it's fine; it is the unofficial end of summer...

You should be fine! pick jewel tones with gold accents. deeper colors will make it feel more like fall

Ok this thread is making me feel much better about the date. Thanks guys. I definitely want to do a gold accent since all the venue decor/lighting is gold. Haven't decided on the other colors yet but I was thinking sage green mixed with some darker colors.

Our wedding is Sep 10th and we are using dark jewel tones and having a moody, fall vibe in our decor. I definitely consider September more fall than summer ... despite the equinox not being til later in the month. But, I also think you can/should do any colors you want in any season!

It is your wedding, you can do whatever you want! Heck it is still August and all the stores already have out fall and Christmas décor!

If you want fall decor, do fall decor!

I think your fine. I don't know about your neck of the woods, but our craft stores and Target/Walmart already have all their Fall / Halloween stuff out. Which I am personally ecstatic about! I think people are already used to seeing Fall stuff at this point in the year. Maybe decorate with some Fall decor, and get some pumpkin scented candles to get everybody in the Fall mood. I'm sure it'll be fine. =)

You can do whatever you want don't be so concerned about the theme and the month. You can do darker colors for sure. Look up fall color schemes on google and a ton of things will pop up. Don't stress yourself so much.

Agree with pps - do what you want. I feel like unofficial fall comes when school starts. If you want pumpkins, have pumpkins too!

You can definitely do whatever you want with colors/decor, don't worry about the date! You also just never know with weather, no matter what! I went to a truly fall wedding with apples and pumpkins and everything in October, and it ended up being 85 degrees! It will work out = )

I totally include September in the fall months. I say go for it.

Regarding decorations, all the craft stores start selling "Fall "decorations late July, so you can get your leaves and pumpkins and whatever elements that you need to give you that "fall feel". So your date is doo-able.

We had a Sept 26 wedding and went a bit fall themed and it was 75 and sunny which is abnormal for Mn fall....but we still went with it

You can get some fall decor this year when it goes on sale. They fake pumpkins!

1) Dunkin Doughnuts already has Pumpkin Spice. It came in with this week's delivery. (My local manager gave me the DL)

2) Gonna go against the group here and say the 1st weekend in September is effectively a Summer wedding.

Fall (for me) is about weather, that nip in the air, leaves changing, etc. You're too too early.

Lol so last year I watched the trees around me like a hawk and nothing was turning so I removed all true aspects of fall out, like pumpkins and fall leaves. Guess what? Mother nature gave me the finger. We have so many trees turning already. Oh well lol.

So just know you can do what you want but if you are planning on mother nature to help with colors just don't be surprised if she says f u lol.
