The Venue

Outdoor weddings in rustic, barn settings are still popular, although this fall’s trend is to add a bit of polish with fine china or rich fabrics such as velvet. Bucks Happening Wedding Venue Winner Durham Hill Farm in Pipersville offers the perfect setting.

The Flowers

Ivy vines, thistle and small leafy twigs are giving bouquets and flower arrangements a whimsical appeal this fall. Wine-colored dahlias and pampas or wheat grass add a touch of grace. Always Beautiful Floral Design Studio in Quakertown excels at such arrangements, garnering it Bucks Happening List Winner title for Best Wedding Florist.

Photography

Another Royal Wedding spillover trend is painted-portrait like photography featuring great lighting and dramatic architectural backdrops, building décor or stunning nature scenes.  Bucks County provides a natural backdrop with so many historical settings. Bucks Happenings List Winner for Best Wedding Photography Luria Visuals Custom Productions in Warminster captures many of those backdrops in their work.

Signage

Blackboards as welcome signs at venue entrance or glass in ornate frames with calligraphied cocktail offerings are replacing paper signs at weddings.  Bucks Happening List Winner for Antique Shop Bucks County Estate Traders in Perkasie is a great stop for vintage frames. Eleven Eleven Handmade Signs in Bensalem, Bucks Happening List Crafting Vendor Winner, is the go-to for anything sign related.

Music

It’s up to individual taste whether to go with a band or a DJ, but in Bucks County, musical acts are expected to put on a visual show. That’s why bands such as Bensalem-based Bigg Romeo, a Bucks Happening List Winner for Favorite Wedding Band, are so popular. They add lighting and props to make the show memorable. DJs such as Bucks Happening List Winner Total Entertainment in Yardley will bring along a photo booth to add to the fun.
