Sally Morris Editor-in-chief Welcome to this month’s Swanky Weddings October Issue, and welcome to the full swing of the autumn season! As the crisp October air settles in and the leaves paint our world in warm hues, we find ourselves in the heart of one of the most enchanting seasons for weddings. This month, we’re celebrating the unique charm that October brings to nuptial celebrations. October weddings offer a canvas rich with possibilities. The natural backdrop of golden leaves and harvest-ready fields provides a romantic setting that needs little embellishment. This month, we’re seeing couples embrace the season’s palette with deep burgundies, burnt oranges, and forest greens in their decor and floral arrangements. As temperatures dip, October weddings bring the opportunity to introduce elements of warmth and comfort. Think soft pashminas for guests, hot apple cider stations, and intimate candle-lit receptions. These thoughtful touches not only make guests feel cared for but also create an atmosphere of intimacy and warmth. October’s bounty is reflected in the culinary choices of savvy couples. We’re seeing an uptick in farm-to-table menus featuring seasonal vegetables, hearty soups, and comforting desserts like pumpkin pie and apple crumble. Don’t forget the trend of signature cocktails infused with autumn flavours like cinnamon, pear, and maple. Bridal fashion for October weddings is all about balancing elegance with practicality. Long-sleeved gowns are making a comeback, while grooms are opting for richer fabrics like velvet for their suits. Bridesmaids are stunning in jewel tones that complement the season’s natural beauty. The changing landscape offers incredible backdrops for wedding photography. From rustic barn settings to urban parks awash in fall colours, October provides a stunning natural studio for capturing those perfect moments. As we look ahead to November, we eagerly anticipate wrapping up the autumn season with our issues dedicated to the final golden days of fall. At the same time, we’ll begin to set our sights on the approaching winter months and the festive Christmas season that follows. See you there!
