With the colorful foliage and perfect temperatures, fall is a popular time for weddings in Hunterdon County. (And luckily, those are two factors that won’t be changing due to the COVID-19 pandemic!) While concern over the virus’s spread is expected to shape weddings throughout the next year, many couples are still happily planning their special day. Here are a few creative ways it’s expected to shape next year’s landmark life event:
The Dress
A daily fashion diet of yoga pants and topknots will give way to full-on Hollywood glamour with renewed interest in chandelier earrings and statement necklaces. For designer gowns that WOW, check out Hunterdon Happening List Winner for Bridal Boutique White House Bride in Whitehouse Station.
The Food
Buffet tables and food stations won’t be as prevalent for the next year or so. Instead, plated meals and waited tables will gain in popularity. Hunterdon Happening List Wedding Caterer 15 Landsdowne Catering & Mercantile in Frenchtown offers full-service catering and can take care of all the details.
The Cake

Gather in Frenchtown excels at such arrangements, garnering it Hunterdon Happening List Winner title for Best Wedding Florist.
Invitations
Invitations on natural paper with watercolor images or plaid or geometric borders and custom calligraphy are in vogue this fall. Pastels highlight the season. Hunterdon Happening List Winner Adori in Pittstown has a wonderful collection to choose from.
Decorations
Wedding décor will be sustainable, raw, natural, locally sourced and traditional. There is a strong sway towards ’70s materials and aesthetic – macramé, crochet, rattan, block colors, wooden beading and textured linens. An expert wedding planner can help you track the latest decorating trends such as Hunterdon Happening List Winner June Beri Events in Hampton.
