MagsyMay Cut Rock Total Posts: 499 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 8/8/2009	Congratulations!! I agree with Coco, start looking for your venue first, as that may very likely determine your date! Places where we looked filled up 12 months or more in advance, so that very quickly determined the month we would be looking at. I just love Fall weddings! ETA: I like the idea of old houses with outdoor tents... what about neighboring towns that would be close by? Any pretty libraries? A lot of libraries near us have beautiful rooms they rent out for wedding receptions.

And you'll want to book sooner rather than later. Fall is quite a popular season, so things could be filling up! Also put together a tentative guest list, because that might limit or expand your options. You'll also need a budget to get started on all of this too.

princessplease Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,494 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 2/20/2009	Congrats!!!!!! I'd look into venues first before settling on a date. Sometimes, the venue availability can determine your date. Fall is popular, so places will be filling up soon. Good luck, and happy planning! ______________________________ On July 31 I will say those two little words that will take my breath away.

Congrats on your engagement! I do not know much about Kentucky landmarks, but I just wanted to recommend our reception photographer and link you to his blog. He is based in Berea, but shoots around Kentucky, so he might have some inspirations for you re: locations. Many seem to be at old estates and outdoors. Our reception is in Cincinnati and there are tons of great venues there or in Newport, if you are close.

Kentucky has some GORGEOUS caverns.... and they should allow you to have a reception inside them. I know they do here in Texas. :-) They'd be well lit, most of them, anyway, and it would definately be a different experiance. "Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust.
