Should You Choose a Fall Wedding? 5 Reasons Couples Love Autumn Weddings

The Wedding Guide
July 7, 2026

Choosing a wedding season is one of the biggest decisions couples make early in the planning process.

While summer weddings are common, many couples are now discovering the magic of fall weddings.

Autumn offers beautiful scenery, comfortable weather, and a cozy atmosphere that many couples love.

At The Meadows, we host weddings exclusively in September and October, when the property is surrounded by fall colours and the campground season has ended.

If you’re wondering whether a fall wedding might be right for you, here are five reasons couples love this season.

1. The Natural Scenery Is Stunning

Fall is one of the most beautiful times of year in New Brunswick.

Trees turn shades of red, orange, and gold, creating natural backdrops that are perfect for wedding photos.

At The Meadows, the forest surrounding the venue becomes especially vibrant during September and October.

This means couples often need very little additional décor, because the landscape already provides the atmosphere.

2. Cooler Temperatures Are More Comfortable

Summer weddings can sometimes be very hot.

Fall temperatures tend to be more comfortable for both couples and guests.

Cooler weather makes it easier for guests to enjoy outdoor ceremonies, explore the property, and dance during the reception without overheating.

According to Weather Canada data, early autumn temperatures in New Brunswick often fall within the comfortable range for outdoor events. And if you're really worried about the cold in the evenings, you don't have to be! Our reception high peak pole tent can be heated!

3. Fall Colours Work Beautifully With Wedding Decor

Autumn naturally complements many popular wedding colour palettes.

Common fall wedding colours include:

  • Burgundy
  • Rust orange
  • Juicy plums
  • Shades of green
  • Champagne gold

These tones pair beautifully with natural wood harvest tables and warm string lighting.

4. The Atmosphere Feels Cozy and Relaxed

Fall weddings often have a cozy atmosphere that guests love.

Couples sometimes incorporate:

  • Campfires
  • Warm drinks
  • Soft blankets
  • String lighting

Outdoor venues especially shine during fall because the cooler air and earlier sunsets create a warm, intimate feeling.

5. Your Wedding Becomes a Full Weekend Experience

Because The Meadows offers full weekend access from Friday to Sunday, couples can turn their wedding into a full experience rather than a single-day event.

Guests can:

  • Camp on-site
  • Spend time exploring the property
  • Gather around the fire after the reception

This relaxed atmosphere is one of the reasons many couples choose fall weddings at The Meadows.
