Fall Wedding

Fall Weddings & Ceremonies

Thinking of having a fall wedding?      314  472-5017

Fall is a wonderful time year and it is my favorite season.  So Why not have a fall wedding ceremony.  I think fall is the perfect time of year to have a wedding.   And Fall Weddings are Beautiful.  The trees are starting to turn and many of the flowers are still beautiful and fall-weddingtemperatures are starting to cool .   Plus, there are a lot of great holidays to bring families together, so if a wedding happens to be around a holiday, so be it.

Fall weddings are a chance to rejoice and bring people together.  So if your wedding is a few days or a weekend before or after a holiday, you may have more people coming over for a holiday dinner.  I see it all the time.  Family members who haven’t seen each other in some time, come in for a wedding and end up spending the holidays together.   So there are many great reasons to have a fall wedding.

Fall weddings can be indoors or outdoors, although when outdoors it is always good to have a backup plan.  Many people today still like to play it safe and have their wedding ceremony inside.   And then, schedule time between the ceremony and reception so they can go to a park and take pictures if it turns out to be a beautiful day.  Or pick a venue for your fall wedding that offers and outdoor space with and indoor backup plan.

Here are some great St Louis locations to have an outdoor fall wedding that offer an indoor backup.    Botanical Gardens • Tower Gove Park • Olivia on the Hill

Prayer of St Francis

Wedding Ceremony Reading & Blessings

Below is some wedding poems, passages, readings, blessings and prayers that couple have chosen for their wedding ceremonies over the years

Passages • Poems & Readings for Your Wedding Ceremony

Prayer of St Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, the faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

I Carry Your Heart with Me

I Carry Your Heart with Me

Wedding Ceremony Poems, Readings & Blessings

 poem by EE Cummings:

i carry your heart with me,

i carry it in my heart

i am never without it

anywhere i go you go, my dear;

and whatever is done by only me

is your doing, my darling

i fear, no fate

for you are my fate,  my sweet

i want no world,

for beautiful you are my world,    my true

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;

which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide

and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

 i carry your heart – i carry it in my heart
