In our humble opinion, fall is easily the most picturesque season of them all. While we love the look of new blooms in the spring, the joyous pastels of the summer and the chilly blues of the winter months, nothing compares to the orange, amber and brown hues of the fall—which makes it the best time of the year to have a garden wedding. The downside? The weather tends to be a bit rainy and brisk in the fall.

However, whether you've always pictured yourself walking down the aisle in a seasonally appropriate, totally untraditional black gown or October just has a special meaning for you and your person, there are plenty of destinations that can accommodate your outdoor wedding dreams without a hitch. Below, check out the top ten cities for fall garden weddings according to gardening company, Brecks. They were ranked based on factors such as access to wedding venues with outdoor gardens, Yelp ratings of garden wedding venues, climate data and precipitation data, among other factors.
