As the leaves transform into stunning shades of orange, red, and yellow, our property becomes a breathtaking backdrop for couples searching for that picture-perfect wedding day.
Planning a fall wedding here in Pennsylvania (or anywhere the seasons shine) comes with unique opportunities—and a few things to prepare for. From cozy touches to weather considerations, here are some of our favorite fall wedding tips to help you create an unforgettable celebration.
🍂 Encourage Guests to Dress in Layers
At Olde Homestead, we know fall weather can shift quickly—one minute it’s warm and sunny, the next there’s a crisp breeze. We always recommend reminding your guests to dress in layers. Light jackets, shawls, or wraps ensure comfort without compromising style. This way, everyone enjoys the beauty of the day without feeling chilly.
🌦 Always Have a Back-Up Plan
Our Carriage House provides a stunning indoor setting, featuring a stone fireplace that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere — perfect for intimate ceremonies or cozy receptions. We also suggest having umbrellas on hand for guests; it’s a small touch that makes a big difference.
☕ Create a Cozy Fall Drink Station
Nothing warms hearts like seasonal drinks. Our couples love setting up a drink station featuring:
- Freshly brewed coffee
- Hot chocolate with marshmallows
- Spiced apple cider
- Mulled wine or spiced sangria
Not only does this keep guests comfortable, but it also adds a fun, festive element to your reception.
🪵 Rustic Barn-Inspired Charm
Even if you’re celebrating indoors, you can bring the barn wedding charm to life with thoughtful details.
Think wooden farm tables, string lights, seasonal florals, and natural textures like burlap and greenery. Paired with the glow of the fireplace and the warmth of fall tones, your reception will feel both elegant and down-to-earth — a perfect blend of rustic romance.
🔥 Fireside Gathering Spaces
One of our favorite fall wedding ideas is incorporating fireside spaces into your celebration. Whether it’s fire pits under the stars or gathering around the Carriage House stone fireplace, these warm spots naturally draw people together.
Offer baskets of blankets for an extra cozy touch. Picture your loved ones wrapped in a blanket, laughing by the fire — it’s pure magic.
📸 Take Advantage of Fall Foliage in Your Wedding Photos
At Olde Homestead Golf Club, we’re lucky to be surrounded by rolling hills, colorful trees, and wide-open views. This time of year, the scenery is especially breathtaking.

When you visit us, we’ll show you our favorite spots that allow your photographer to capture both intimate moments and sweeping landscapes.
