Autumn is the best season, that's a fact. The crisp post-summer air, the sort of temperature that lets a jacket be a pure fashion choice rather than dictated by the weather. It's the colour of beaten copper in the trees and the crunch of leaves on the floor. Autumn is refreshing, it's invigorating; the season of new beginnings. It makes sense then, that discerning people would choose it as the best time to get married.

Unusual perhaps to get married in a zoo, but the Mappin Pavilion is a gorgeous autumnal venue for receptions.
