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

We both love fall and definitely want a fall wedding. However we ended up going with the 3rd, over Labor Day weekend, which is still summer. We could only afford a Sunday wedding, the guest minimums for Saturdays were way too high everywhere, and we didn't want to inconvenience anyone (especially my 2 bridesmaids who will be in college and traveling family). We still would like it to feel more fall than summer. We'll have to skip the pumpkins, but would a darker color scheme work? I guess we have to skip the leaves too... Thoughts? I'm starting to regret our date choice - my ideal date would've been late September or early October. Plus it's been hot as hell in NJ for the entire month of August so I'm worried about temperature.

    I am having a Fall wedding in December, which might seem a little late for it... but all the november dates were already taken. I don't think you are too early... especially sine it is August and Halloween/Fall things have been out for a week or 2 already.

    I actually called up our venue today to try to change our date to either September 24 or October 1. I feel like I partially chose my date not to inconvenience everyone but...screw that. I want to be happy with the date. I know the leaves may or may not be turning yet but at least it'll actually be fall.

    A fall theme on September 3rd is perfectly fine! I would do the same thing. When I read that you were interested in sage green, I thought that sage green, navy, and gold sounds sooo pretty!
