As the crisp air of autumn swept through the streets, it was clear that fall had cast its enchanting spell once again. Everywhere you looked, there was a sense of warmth and coziness, a feeling of anticipation for the season ahead. For this couple, fall was more than just a time of year—it was a season of love, of laughter, and of cherished moments captured in photographs.
Wrapped in cozy scarves and sweaters, they ventured out into the golden-hued landscape, ready to embrace all that fall had to offer. With pumpkin-spiced lattes in hand, they strolled through parks adorned with the vibrant colors of changing leaves, each step a testament to their shared affection for this magical season.
Flannels, boots, and light jackets became their wardrobe staples, adding an extra layer of comfort and style to their outdoor adventures. As they posed for engagement photos, they couldn’t help but smile at the thought of the fall wedding they were planning for next year. With the scenery as their backdrop, they knew their love story was unfolding in perfect harmony with the season around them.
With Halloween and Thanksgiving on the horizon, they seized the opportunity to infuse their photos with the spirit of the season. Pumpkins became props, adding a playful touch to their save-the-date announcements. They shared kisses under the falling leaves, their love illuminated by the warm glow of autumn sunlight.
Their photographer, a willing accomplice in their quest for the perfect shot, went to great lengths to capture the essence of fall. Climbing trees and lying on the ground, they created moments that were both breathtaking and unforgettable. With crimson leaves cascading overhead, they felt as though they were living in a painting, their love story immortalized in the beauty of the season.
But amidst all the romance and beauty, there was also room for fun and spontaneity. With a childlike sense of wonder, they dove into piles of leaves, laughter echoing through the crisp air. They tossed leaves at each other, reveling in the joy of the moment and the love that bound them together.
As they looked back on their fall engagement photos, they knew they had captured something truly special—a love that blossomed in the warmth of autumn, a love that would endure for all seasons to come.
So, as fall beckons with its promise of romance and adventure, don’t hesitate to embrace all it has to offer. Break out the flannels and boots, gather your loved ones close, and let the magic of the season inspire your own love story.

Just because Halloween has come and gone doesn’t mean the fun has to end—especially for those who revel in the magic of this bewitching holiday. For couples who adore the autumnal allure or simply can’t resist the thrill of Halloween, infusing your wedding day with spooky touches is the perfect way to celebrate without sending your guests running for the hills!
While it’s a wedding, not a children’s Halloween bash, there’s still plenty of room to play with some cool, dark elements that add an enchanting twist to your special day. Think gothic themes with an edge of elegance. And if black happens to be your signature color, why not embrace it wholeheartedly? Channel your inner Haunted Mansion aficionado by incorporating ghoulish Disney accents for an extra dash of whimsy.
One subtle yet fun way to infuse Halloween vibes into your celebration is through signature cocktails. Get creative with the names—think “Pick Your Poison” or “Witches’ Brew”—and watch as guests delight in the playful spirit of the occasion.
When it comes to your wedding cake, consider giving it a nod to the season with a Fall-inspired theme or go all out by paying homage to your favorite Halloween movies. Fans of Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” will swoon over cakes inspired by the film’s whimsical aesthetic, adding a touch of cinematic magic to your dessert table.
For a more understated yet meaningful touch, consider incorporating Halloween-themed décor into your celebration. From elegant candle holders adorned with spooky quotes to subtle nods to the season’s colors and motifs, these tasteful touches add depth and personality to your wedding ambiance without overwhelming the senses.
And remember, Halloween isn’t just about being scary—it’s about having fun and embracing the things you love. So, go ahead and show off your Halloween spirit in all its glory, ensuring that your wedding day is a celebration to remember for all the right reasons.

Women with the “Apple Shapes” can fit into two categories: round body types or wide at the top and then taper down to a slimmer bottom. The rounder “apples” may carry extra weight in their stomach area. If you are this type of “apple,” and are a bit fuller in the waist, stick to wedding dresses that will give the illusion of a smaller waist-line. These include:
*Textured bodices: this will camouflage imperfections around the waist so that your stomach area doesn’t catch the eye of others
* Embellished designs: Embroidery such as strategic beading will make your waist appear smaller.
The other type of “apple” shaped women tends to have broader shoulders, larger busts, and a wide waist. Because these types have narrow hips in relation to their shoulder size, a dress that cinches in at the smallest point of the waistline should complement their body types. If this description fits you:
*Opt for a textured bodice (ruche or lace detailing) that will fit snugly to your waistline. This creates a “corset” like effect on your waist.
*Avoid trumpet styled dresses. These call attention to the widest area of your body and flare out to the lower body (legs and knees), where you are most slender.
#1 TIP: Both of the “Apples” will benefit from…
*A deep V-neckline dress. This creates a vertical line, drawing eyes towards the slender, vertical line of your body, not the horizontal
*A dress with an “A” lineor empire waist that gently falls away from the body.
“Hourglass” Shaped Body tips
If you are the woman who has the most desired body type among the rest, possessing a curvaceous body. You are characterized as the lady with large shoulders and bust, narrow waist, wide hips, buttocks and thighs, but in proper proportion to your shoulders. You have the body with most balance. Curvy figures with a balanced bust and hips and defined waist line will do best in finding a dress that accentuates the small waist, making the most of the feminine points of your body (your curves!).
Choose styles such as:
*Mermaid fit gowns
*Corset styled dresses
*Fuller skirts (trumpet styled gowns) that fit the body and flare out below hips
*Sweetheart or scoop necklines
*Strapless gowns (with fitted waists)
*Two piece dresses (with fitted bodice)
#1 TIP: Stick with styles that accentuate the waist, and those with fuller skirts.
