Summer is usually considered wedding season, but autumn weddings are for those who like to do things a little differently. If you’re attending an autumn wedding this year, you may be wondering what’s best to wear given the unpredictable weather. In the summer it’s easy enough to find a classic dress with strappy heels to create the perfect wedding look. However, autumn is where you can really get creative with your style. Here are some top tips on how to style yourself for an autumn wedding:

Jumpsuit or Dress?

Try to steer away from a typical floral dress for an autumn wedding and think about layering your outfit. For a stylish, sophisticated look choose a jumpsuit with clutch bag. Jumpsuits are ideal for autumn weddings as they’re perfect for any weather. Alternatively, opt for a long dress or A-line skirt with a fitted top for a sleek, comfortable look. If jumpsuits and dresses aren’t your thing, then a tailored suit with glamorous blouse or shirt underneath is the ultimate wedding guest look for an autumn wedding. Even if you don’t want to layer up for the photographs or inside the venue itself, it’s always a good idea to bring a jacket to drape over your shoulders just in case.

Accessories

Accessories for an autumn wedding should be simple and understated, ladies fashion watches and delicate rings are a good place to start. Summer weddings are the time of year for bright colours and patterns, including geometric jewellery or over-the-top feathered earrings. Autumn wedding jewellery should be kept minimalistic, with block colours like silver and gold leading the way. Pendant necklaces are perfect for weddings, making any outfit look instantly dressier. Alternatively, keep it smart with a rose gold mesh watch or bracelet, creating a timeless look that’s ideal for a wedding. Clutch bags are a firm favourite for weddings, but equally any kind of compact bag is useful.

The Perfect Shoes

Long gone are the summer days where you could wear heeled strappy shoes for the big day. You can wear boots to an autumn wedding, or even smart flat shoes. Giving you more options for outfit combinations. It’s important to invest in a good pair of comfortable wedding shoes as you’ll be in them all day! Choose a pair that you’ll likely wear again, as often we can be guilty of buying wedding shoes and boxing them up never to be worn again.

To ensure that you’re nailing the autumn wedding fashion, don’t forget about the finer details like nude makeup and a stylish up-do. Plan your outfit a few weeks in advance so you have everything you need and won’t need to rush around before the big day. Autumn wedding style is the best style! So, experiment with your look and have fun layering up.…

Fun Budget Date Ideas

Date nights are the best nights. Whether you’ve been together for 5 months or 5 years, there are always opportunities to make more memories together. It doesn’t have to be an expensive affair either, you can have the perfect date even if you’re on a tight budget. Here’s some amazingly fun budget date ideas:

Picnic (Indoors or Outdoors)

Pack some delicious snacks in your picnic basket and head off to your local park. If there’s guaranteed sunshine, then you can make a day of it! Alternatively, if the weather isn’t on your side, why not have a picnic indoors? You could even make more of an effort and cook the snacks yourself before laying your blanket down in your living room. Pop open some prosecco and forget about the rain outside.

Be A Tourist

You think you know everything there is to know about your city? Think again. Be tourists in your own hometown and you’ll be surprised about how much you’ve missed in your other visits! Browse the (free) museums and art galleries, take a stroll around the shops and have a coffee at that café you’ve always wanted to go to.

A Cosy Night In

Sometimes you just can’t beat a cosy night in with your loved one. So throw on some comfy pyjamas, get the popcorn ready and prepare for an epic movie night. Have a marathon with movies from your favourite directors or series. And as this is movie night, you never know where the night may lead, so be sure to wear some luxury lingerie under your nightwear.

Rent Bikes

Renting bikes can be a fairly cheap way to spend the day out in the sunshine. You could drive to an area you want to explore more or keep it close to home by riding around your town. Either way, it’s the perfect first date idea if you’re stuck for what to do. You’ll probably work up an appetite with all that cycling, so stop off for some delicious ice-cream after.

Go Camping

Embrace the great outdoors with a low-budget camping trip! Pack all the essentials and hit the road to find the perfect camping spot. Don’t forget to bring some marshmallows for toasting on the fire.

Take A Trip to The Coast

If you feel like escaping for a while, then take a trip to your nearest coast side. It doesn’t have to be an expensive day out if you bring your own food and entertainment (volleyball is always a winner at the beach). Stay until the evening to watch the sunset for a romantic end to your day.

Which Will You Try?
