An important stage of preparation is finding the perfect wedding hall. A wedding in the mountains it is an excellent opportunity to say the sacramental "yes" to each other in the open air among the majestic peaks and beautiful nature. However, in October it may be a bit too cold for an outdoor party, at least for some young couples. Maybe a better solution will be a celebration in the hall, which we will decorate with autumn decorations? The room should be spacious, adapted to the number of guests and the requirements of future newlyweds. It is worth investing in a place located away from the city hustle and bustle, surrounded by picturesque natural surroundings. Mountain nature - especially in the autumn season - impresses with its amazing, unique charm.

Let's remember that wedding in autumn is the risk of possible rain, wind or other unpredictable weather conditions. But an interesting month is October in the Jeleniogórska Valley (Karkonosze). Often in October there are still beautiful and sunny moments. There are days when wedding guests, especially during the aftermath in the gardens, wear short sleeves. This should be borne in mind when organizing a wedding reception, especially if, despite the season, we are considering it outdoor weddingat least partially.

Young couple organizing wedding in October should also take care of appropriate wedding outfits. Let's not forget about special outerwear, designed especially for young couples who decided to say "yes" to each other in autumn. However, the dress for a wedding in October does not have to be significantly different from the one in August or September. There's a really good chance the weather will be fine. The groom in a suit will certainly not be cold, and in the case of the bride, a beautiful scarf will probably be enough (maybe to contrast with the dress in the color of autumn leaves?), or an elegant bolero or some warmer cape that will protect her from the cold wind in case of bad weather. Let us also remember that usually on this most important day of life, we are additionally warmed by strong emotions!

Wedding dress - wedding in October

A wedding in October may be a challenge for people who design a wedding dress for the bride. It should be adapted to the weather, but at the same time take into account the night full of dancing, when it may be much warmer than outside.

Therefore, it is worth betting on standard models. Most often, brides who get married in October decide on wedding dresses with long sleeves. However, they are extremely delicate, made of lace or other airy material. Then they are only a decoration and in no way protect against the cold. No one wants to get cold during their wedding or be sick right after. So how to solve this problem? It is enough to put on a warmer cape that the bride will put on during the transition to the church or hall, the wedding ceremony and the beginning of the wedding reception. As soon as it gets warmer, he can safely get rid of it without any problem.

Here it is worth showing creativity when looking for this cover. Remember that it does not have to have a standard, classic cut. It can surprise with its appearance and be a beautiful addition or decoration. What is most important is the well-being of the bride. She should feel beautiful and exceptional in the wedding dress itself and in accessories that are necessary due to the weather.

Wedding in October – what to wear as a guest?

However, not only the bride and groom are wondering how to dress for the wedding in October. Also guests ask themselves this question. anyway weather in fact, it is unpredictable throughout the year, in the summer months there are more and more often very strong winds and heavy rains, alternating with tropical heat. Preparing some warmer cover for a short time, which is usually spent during the wedding and reception outdoors, should not be a problem.

What flowers to choose for an October wedding?

When organizing a wedding in October, it is worth betting on colors characteristic of autumn. Maybe red roses as a complement to the creation? They symbolize love and passion. A perfect combination for the day when these feelings dominate…

What else autumn flowers will they work best? Flowers for a wedding in October is a very grateful topic. When we hear the word "autumn flowers", we immediately see beautiful, rich dahlias or modest, homely asters in a whole range of colors. We can easily match their color to other decorations, because they can boast shades of white, red, purple, pink or blue. Interestingly, a very impressive autumn flower is the Chinese aster, which, despite its name, belongs to a completely different species.

Dahlias, also called dahlias, are the queens of the autumn garden. They have dozens of varieties in the entire color palette, they also differ in the structure of inflorescences, so every bride will find something for herself.

Let's not forget the chrysanthemums! They also bloom in the fall. Of course, we all know that these flowers have been associated with All Souls' Day for years, but it's time to change that. For several years, chrysanthemums have been delighting more and more often as an element of various autumn decorations, door wreaths and home decorations, as well as wedding bouquets. How can you deprive yourself of the pleasure of communing with the richness of these beautiful plants - white, yellow, orange, pink, red or purple? It is definitely worth using their diversity - chrysanthemums can be spherical, semi-double or full; single or in the shape of an umbrella - also during weddings and receptions.

Decorations for a wedding in October

As you can see, getting beautiful and at the same time original flowers on wedding in October no problem. All these flowers are perfect to decorate a boho-style wedding with them. The richness of colors and, at the same time, a slightly modest, rural and natural look will also perfectly harmonize with an ethno, folk or neofolk style wedding. And all this surrounded by autumn leaves, the colors of which are impossible to describe! It is worth adding heather to the composition: red, white, light pink or purple. In the fall, we can easily get pine cones or chestnuts, which will enrich our decorations. And since it's time for the pumpkin to ripen, can it be used not only for cooking, but also for decoration? Pumpkin lanterns decorating the wedding hall and the garden will be an original accent.

The decor of the wedding hall, car decorations, wedding invitations, wedding gate or small gifts for guests should be matched with color and style to autumn compositions. Beautiful autumn colors are the perfect scenery for this special day. A deep red ballroom? Or maybe a wedding hall with golden accents? Maybe it's a bit unusual, but why not match the wedding arrangement to the season and colors outside the window?

Wine red fall wedding

Not only decorations, but also drinks that match the colors of autumn - is it a good idea? Certainly yes. It may sound a bit extravagant, but more and more wedding guests, apart from traditional white vodka, expect other, weaker alcohols, especially wine, at the wedding. If we choose as maroon wedding color – perfectly matching the autumn aura – red wine will perfectly fit into this trend. After all, it can have various shades - from cherry, through purple to a very deep, almost black red. Sometimes with violet, navy blue or red brick reflections. However, it does not necessarily have to be red wine, because there is a lot to choose from: it can also be white or pink (there are also different shades here!). Sparkling or no bubbles. As for the taste, it is dry or sweet, or intermediate, depending on the preferences of the bride and groom and guests.  

How about mulled cider? Not only wine will work as a warming drink. Not everyone knows that cider also tastes great warm. It is worth reaching for this wonderful liquor made from Polish apples (by the way, its golden color also fits perfectly with autumn colors!). The hot version is supplemented with typical spices for mulled wine - cloves, cinnamon, lemons, oranges and honey. If you want to amaze your guests, you can serve such cider mulled wine in hollowed out apples. 

Wedding Karpacz and the surrounding area

In recent years, Karpacz has gained the title of the tourist capital of Poland, actually dethroning Zakopane. It is very popular among individual tourists, corporate clients and young couples. On wedding in Karpacz many brides choose. There are also many family events such as communions, christenings and various types of anniversaries. For this reason, Karpacz is sometimes crowded, so it is worth taking an interest in its immediate surroundings. In the charming mountain resorts - Sosnówka, Przesieka or Kowary - we will find equally rich accommodation and catering facilities, and at the same time peace and respite from the crowd and hustle and bustle.

What menu for a wedding in October?

Worth using on the menu seasonal products, for example pumpkin for soup or cookies and fresh mushrooms for soups or sauces. The gifts of the forest in the form of boletes, butter mushrooms, mushrooms or chanterelles create a lot of culinary possibilities. Mushroom lovers will surely appreciate them and enjoy their unique taste. Autumn vegetables should also appear on the wedding table. Stuffed peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and eggplants, just like mushrooms, will please more and more vegetarians and vegans.

As for the meat dishes for the wedding in October, we recommend goose meat and home-made pâtés, promoted by Slow Food Polska, due to their organic origin. Of the fish dishes, pike and zander should appear on the wedding table at this time of year.

Autumn is also the time for Polish fruit. Apples, pears and plums from native orchards and gardens are the best in autumn. Fruit can be used both to prepare delicious desserts and various cakes, such as classic apple pie, plum and nut tart or yeast cake with plums. Wedding desserts – autumn flavors will delight guests. Plums will also be suitable for compotes, thanks to which natural drinks will reign at our wedding. They also fit perfectly with cabbage and traditional bigos.

However, do not forget about your guests who do not like a similar menu. We are talking about children or people on a vegetarian or gluten-free diet here. They will certainly appreciate the fact that the tables will also include dishes that they can try as well.

Children may also be dissatisfied with classic fall flavors. Therefore, among the autumn menu, including pumpkin or spice cookies, there should also be classic dishes. We are talking here, among others, about broth or poultry dishes that are liked by the youngest.

Thanks to the right selection of dishes, we will create a unique autumn atmosphere, smelling of nature, home-made pastries and spices!

Wedding in October inspiration

“To complete the autumn image, it is worth thinking about a beautiful bouquet in the colors that dominate in October: yellow, brown, red. We can decorate the tables with twigs, leaves, heather, chestnuts and light nice candles. Decorations made this way will be natural and unique. They will definitely attract the attention of our guests," advises Joanna Hoc-Kopiej, wedding expert, Dwór Korona Karkonoszy.

Wedding in October - autumn inspirations

Where do you get inspiration for the decorations used during wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions in October? The best solution is to keep an eye on social media. Here you can find ideas that are dictated by current market trends.

If you're interested in getting married in October, you should definitely check out Pinterest. There are plenty of interesting images and photos that can be a base for creative people who will decorate your wedding hall or wedding ceremony.

Another place where you can find numerous inspirations regarding the wedding and reception in October are the websites and social media of wedding subcontractors. The Crown of the Karkonosze Manor has an extensive offer gallery, which has lots of ideas for an October wedding. All the bride and groom need to do is look at a few photos and choose what best suits their requirements. Then, all you need to do is arrange the wedding hall appropriately and adapt it to the bride and groom's requirements.

After choosing the right inspirations, the next stages of wedding preparation and wedding decorations are much easier. Then the people who are responsible for them, drawing inspiration from the provided frames, choose the best elements and create a coherent whole out of them.

Additional attractions for guests during the wedding in October

October is a month when there may be problems with organizing additional attractions for guests outside. Why? The temperatures are already much lower, which makes it harder to go outside. Most often, only the most persistent guests who need a moment of breath in the fresh air do it.

So what to organize for guests as additional attractions during the wedding reception? There are many proposals. We will show you the ones that work best.

Interactive guestbook

Surely everyone who has been to any wedding remembers the guest book. It is usually an album in which each guest can write their wishes for the Bride and Groom. However, it turns out that there are many problems with it. Especially if there are many children at the wedding. They gladly take the opportunity to scribble something. They often do not care that in the place of their "masterpiece" there were wishes from the relatives of the Bride and Groom.

To avoid similar situations, we recommend using an interactive guestbook. Its mode of operation is very similar to the photo booth, which is also a hit at many wedding parties. An interactive guest book consists in recording a short video or taking a creative photo, to which wishes will be attached. Guests do not need to print or sign anything. All they have to do is record their wishes coming from the bottom of their hearts. You, as a young couple, can later play the recordings for a long time and remember those wonderful moments you spent with your loved ones.

Remember to encourage your guests to use the interactive guest book. Some of them may be afraid of handling professional equipment. That is why it is worth putting an appropriate plate next to it with information, which will also be an encouragement to share your feelings with the Bride and Groom by means of a short video recording.

Photo mirror – why is it worth having it at a wedding?

photo booth was for a long time one of the most popular attractions at a wedding. She showed up at almost every party. Today, it is increasingly being replaced by a photo mirror, the principle of which is very similar. In the case of an October wedding, you can choose additional decorations that will remind you of this special time in the following years.

Pumpkins instead of faces, tasteful bowler hats or autumn leaves will certainly complement many stylizations. Regardless of whether we are talking about elegant outfits and tasteful photos or maybe about fun and smiling poses taken by young people who have fun during your wedding.

There is no need to encourage anyone to use a photo mirror. We assure you that after just an hour of fun, there will be the first people who will take advantage of the opportunity to take beautiful photos. Then you can proceed in two ways. If you want to have another souvenir, place a book and double-sided tape near the photo mirror. This way, guests can paste their photos for you as a souvenir. They can also take them with them. This way, they will remind them of their special day and the wedding at which they had such a great time.

Wedding in October - a good time to get married

Let's not forget that October means savings on every plate, because this month is no longer the high wedding season. So we can count on a lower price for admission at this time. In addition, prices from subcontractors will certainly be lower during this period. Savings can always be spent on additional attractions for guests.

It happens that the prices of the so-called "plate" differ by as much as a dozen to 30 percent. This is a significant difference. It allows you to save on this element of the organization of the wedding, which is the most expensive. It has been known for a long time that a good wedding hall and high-quality food for guests are one of the highest expenses incurred by the young and their parents when organizing a wedding.

Karkonosze wedding

Autumn aura in the mountains is a dream time for a wedding and reception. The Giant Mountains have always enchanted with their unique charm. According to the name - Giant Mountains – these are huge mountains, even if not with their size, then certainly with their beauty. Each event in the mountains immediately seems more interesting and unique than the one organized in another location. So to the question - where the wedding? – there can be only one answer: in the Karkonosze Mountains, for example in Sosnówka near Karpacz.

Similarly, the photographer - in October there are much fewer orders for both marriage, wedding and other sessions. This is not the season of communions or other grand family events. At this time, few people decide to have a photo shoot. Everyone chooses a warm blanket and a meeting with tea. Thus, due to the low occupancy, wedding photographer in October will probably offer a much lower rate than in the summer season, when several couples often wait for one date.

Are you wondering what else you can save on by organizing a wedding in October? There's still an orchestra or a DJ. One of the key elements of the wedding. Everyone wants the musical setting to be the best possible. Even if the couple decides on a less attractive room or decor, they will certainly try to make the music interesting. And in October, almost every band and DJ have free dates. All that remains is to enjoy great music at a much lower price.

A wedding in October in the mountains - a perfect idea for a honeymoon

This is a fantastic idea, especially if you live in other parts of Poland on a daily basis. It will certainly be an amazing adventure for you, and the souvenir from the mountain wedding session will accompany you for the next years.

A wedding in the mountains

What if, after your dream wedding, you could stay in the mountains for a while and plan a wonderful honeymoon among the peaks? It's a great idea, not only for the experience and location, but also for organizational reasons - you don't have to pack up and travel again. In return, you get many days of great mountain adventure, during which you will not only rest and get to know completely new places, but you will also have a unique opportunity to perform a wedding session in an unusual arrangement.

All you have to do is book a room for more than one night. The owner of the facility will probably offer you another room for the next nights. The honeymoon room is special and always prepared for the next couple. But in October, as we have already mentioned, there are much fewer weddings. It may happen that the following weekend after your celebration, no wedding will be planned in the facility. Then you have the opportunity to use a special room or suite for the entire duration of your honeymoon!

Imagine it! Not only the wedding night, but also a whole week or two spent in an exceptionally beautiful room. This is a great opportunity to spend time together without having to change the place, organize other elements of the trip or risk that the next facility will not meet your expectations.

A wedding in the mountains is a great idea for an overdue holiday

wedding and wedding in the mountains. October is the last chance for a holiday for our wedding guests. For those who did not have time to leave, it will be an ideal opportunity for a short vacation. After the wedding, you can spend a wonderful time in a smaller group. Mountain expeditions, trying local specialties, monuments, as well as bonfires and feasts during autumn evenings. Is there a better attraction for the Bride and Groom and guests than such a way to spend autumn?

Suggest your loved ones to postpone their holidays to October in the year of your wedding. Certainly, in any workplace, this will not be a problem. This is the time when everyone returns to their duties. There can only be isolated cases of leave or sick leave. Therefore, both guests, as well as their colleagues and superiors will be pleased with the possibility of postponing the holiday to October. Organize a few short mountain trips for your loved ones. Show them places that are of special value to you. Maybe you have your favorite trails that you want to share with your loved ones?

Regardless of whether you choose to stay in the mountains just the two of you, or maybe you encourage your family and loved ones to do so, you will certainly notice a lot of advantages of such a solution. Returning to everyday duties and new tasks in a marriage only after some time spent on mountain trips is much easier and more pleasant. It is also associated with less stress and running to do important things that can't - apparently! - wait.

A wedding in October in the garden? Why not!

You want to arrange an original wedding party? Would you like your celebration to be remembered by your loved ones forever? Do you dream of a wedding unlike any other? Consider preparing a wedding reception in… a garden! It will not be the place itself that will be special - an outdoor wedding is becoming more and more popular - but the time of the year in which it would take place. Impossible? Let's stop for a moment how to organize an outdoor wedding?

Nie(pogoda). Jak mawiają Anglicy, nie ma złej pogody, jest tylko nieodpowiedni ubiór. Może nie lubicie galowych, wizytowych strojów i nie macie ochoty spędzać w nich całego przyjęcia? Szpilki przyprawiają Was o ból nóg, a krawat o ból głowy? Zamieńcie je na cudownie miękkie i ciepłe golfy, wygodne dżinsy, praktyczne buty i urządźcie wedding in the garden.

An atmospheric evening bonfire, delicious mulled wine, warming autumn dishes, total chill - doesn't that sound appealing? Let's take the example of Italians or Spaniards who, even in autumn and winter, spend time in outdoor restaurants and bars, not caring too much about the weather. And the aura in our country is less and less different from that in southern Europe. Alternatively, you can prepare a special tent, in case the rain also decides to participate in your wedding ... The guests will also be grateful to you - they will not have to spend money on one-time outfits. Just like you. It would be an eco and less waste wedding – very timely!

Besides, outdoor dancing has a wonderful warming power. Hot rhythms will certainly encourage guests to dance, and no cold will be terrible for them anymore.

Wedding in October 2024

A wedding in October 2024 will certainly have different prices than in 2023, because the economic situation is changing very dynamically. Costs may increase. If? This cannot be predicted. So maybe a wedding here and now? Maybe this is a good time for last minute wedding? If you make decisions quickly, have some savings, are not afraid of spontaneous actions, this option is perfect for you.

And the wedding in October, but in 2025? Is it good idea? A lot can happen in a year and a half. The fact is that you can easily prepare wedding in October 2025but no one can predict what budget will be needed.  

Regardless of whether we are talking about October 2024 or 2025, this is certainly a period when it is easier to find a free date in the facility we are interested in. Moreover, many wedding halls offer significant discounts at this time, so an autumn wedding will certainly be cheaper than in the peak season. Also, rates for music, photography or floristry services may be even several percent lower than at other times of the year.

Fall weddings are beautiful!

Wedding in October has very good reviews. There is no doubt that both young couples and guests surrender to the charm of the October weather and remember this time fondly. Guests often emphasize that they were a bit afraid of an autumn wedding and did not expect that a wedding could be so successful at this time of year! However, for several years now we have been able to count on the golden Polish autumn, and usually the weather is the biggest concern of young couples.
