September Wedding Ideas
The weather in September is often perfect, and there will be a wealth of delicious food items to choose from, all fresh and local. See if you can use local, organic foods in your wedding offering.
The birthstone for September is the sapphire, which is a wonderfully rich blue color. You can also go with the traditional fall colors of oranges, reds, and yellows. Those can be absolutely beautiful in a wedding or celebration.
