{Autumn Weddings} Apple Orchard Wedding Venues


"Autumn", what comes to mind when you see this word? Pumpkins, apple orchards, hot chocolate, brisk nights, warm colors and leaves crunching beneath your feet? I most definitely agree. It's such a magical time of the year, it's no wonder couples find planning a fall wedding so appealing.

Inspiration is literally all around you! Nature hands you an amazing color palette, and there are so many new textures to work with as well. So, as you can imagine, decorating will be quite free flowing from the get go. But what about a venue? 

If you and your honey are totally in love with all things autumn, and this is truly your favorite time of the year, why not bring your friends and family together in one of the most autumnal venues ever? An apple orchard! 

Apple orchards are quickly becoming some of the most sought out venues for hosting weddings during the fall. It's almost a no-brainer. Not only in terms of visual appeal, but emotional as well. Maybe there's a certain apple orchard that comes to mind right away, whether it was the site of an amazing date, or a cherished family tradition. 

So, not only are they beautiful and fit the autumn theme, but they can be one of the most intimate venues.



When it comes to finding the right orchard, it might come off as a daunting task. Especially if you're located in the Midwest, it seems as though there are new apple orchards and pumpkin patches popping up now more than ever. 

So how do we choose one? 

Each state usually has their own directory of orchards. In Minnesota, we actually have a few --- The Minnesota Department of Agriculture and Explore Minnesota are a couple directory options. 

Quite a few orchards actually promote weddings on their own websites. Browse through and get inspired!
