An Autumn Wedding in Peak Color at Cedar Lakes Estate

Alex and Clayton were married at Cedar Lakes Estate during peak October foliage in the Hudson Valley, creating a naturally breathtaking backdrop for their fall celebration. Their intimate welcome dinner set a cozy, autumnal tone with pale pastel pumpkins, pillar candles, and long tables designed to encourage meaningful conversation. A seating display featuring hand-calligraphed Cinderella pumpkins and an outdoor lounge in soft fall hues welcomed guests into the weekend.

The wedding day began with a lakeside yoga session, followed by a lively trivia competition before the couple shared a private first look surrounded by vibrant fall color. Their ceremony embraced the season with warm apple cider, cozy blankets, and a full floral arch set against the mountainous landscape. Cocktail hour took place in the Pavilion with glowing lanterns and a custom panel seating display, while the barn reception brought the outdoors in through dramatic foliage installations, hanging rattan lamps, and a custom band backdrop in soft pink and berry tones. The evening concluded with dancing beneath a canopy of autumn leaves and romantic lighting—an unforgettable celebration of the season.
