Summer may be the most popular time to get married, but autumn brings more affordable wedding hire, gorgeous colour palettes and breathtaking autumnal backdrops.
As these celebrity brides show, weddings in the autumn season are truly spectacular. From Princess Eugenie's rustic coloured wedding theme through to Serena William's princess day, take a look through these incredible photos…
Lisa Faulkner and John Torode
Lisa and John fully embraced autumn at their wedding in October 2019, including with details such as the bride's wedding bouquet. It featured orange, pink and ivory roses, eucalyptus and other foliage that offered an unmistakable autumnal touch to her bridal look.

Hailey and Justin Bieber
An autumn wedding will typically mean cooler temperatures, but that's the perfect excuse to invest in a cool bridal leather jacket just like Hailey Bieber wore at her wedding to singer Justin in 2019. Her leather biker jacket was embellished with the word 'wife', but you could also have yours personalised with your wedding date or new marital name.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank
Princess Eugenie's wedding was a truly autumnal celebration, utilising seasonal flowers and ingredients to create a spectacular wedding menu. The Princess' wedding dress was perfect for the October weather, too, with long sleeves and V-neckline with open back detailing.

Not only would this help to make your wedding more sustainable, but using seasonal flowers can also help to make them cheaper, too.

Their wedding may have taken place in California rather than the cooler climes of the UK, but Mandy Moore's back garden nuptials were still an autumnal celebration with details that would work just as well indoors as they did outside. With patterned rugs and dip-dyed pampas grass lining the aisle, it created a cosy and quirky setting.

We love the way Karlie incorporated seasonal colours into her wedding with Joshua Kushner, dressing her "bride tribe" in complementing berry and plum tones. The nuptials took place in upstate New York, and their outdoor wedding was made even more beautiful thanks to the stunning woodland backdrop.
