November is a month known for its unpredictability. It is difficult to predict in advance what the weather will be like on a given November day - it may still be warm, or the first frosts may hit. But most often, November is cool, rainy and muddy, so people rarely choose this month for a wedding. What to do if the wedding is still in November?
The main thing is not to panic! It is necessary to take into account the possibility of weather surprises and plan the wedding scenario so that guests have the opportunity to quickly move from the street to the room. And if the newlyweds are lucky, then on their most important day they will enjoy a real golden autumn, full of rich colors and accompanied by beautiful leaf fall.
Signs and traditions
The good news is that in Rus', getting married in November was considered a good omen for the start of family life. Our ancestors believed that a couple who got married in November would live their lives in prosperity, because autumn is a rich time.
By November, the harvest is already over, and there is not as much housework as in the summer, so many couples got married in this month. There is no fasting in November, which means the newlyweds could get married in church and not limit themselves to anything during the wedding feast.
There are signs related to a wedding in November:
- The bride is recommended to wear gold and discreetly pin a pin on her clothes. It is believed that this will protect her from the evil eye;
- a coin placed in the bride’s shoe promises prosperity for the couple;
- a man who gets married in November acquires a faithful companion who will care for and cherish him for the rest of his life;
- If it starts snowing the night before the wedding, the bride must walk through the freshly fallen snow. Thus, she will become the only woman for her husband for the rest of her life;
- Before the wedding, the groom must go outside with an autumn leaf and a rowan branch in his hands. He must give one of these items to the first person he meets: if the groom meets a woman, she will receive a leaf from him, and this will guarantee the fidelity of the young wife. If a man meets first, he must take a rowan branch from the groom, and then the family will never know the need.
Here's what the weather meant on the wedding day:
- frost is a good sign for the young, promising them the birth of a healthy heir;
- snow promises happiness to the newlyweds, and rain promises material wealth;
- thunder is a bad omen, promising instability and problems for the marriage;
- wind on a wedding day means that one of the spouses will be unfaithful to his other half.
You should not take omens too seriously, especially not focus on bad omens. How the marriage turns out depends mainly on the young people themselves.
Selecting a date for celebration based on signs and superstitions
Many people believe that if a relationship was registered in May, then the bride and groom will suffer for the rest of their lives. But such a belief has long lost its power. According to statistics, those who got married in May live long and successful marriages. But most newlyweds prefer to choose a date based on superstition, so as not to jeopardize family happiness. In ancient times in Rus', the wedding celebration took place after the harvest. The chosen number was influenced by fasts, holidays and other events.
There are several signs left from those times.
- If you celebrate in January, then the young will become widowers early.
- A wedding in February means that peace, love and understanding will reign in a young family's relationship.
- March wedding - living away from home.
- If the marriage takes place in April, a changeable life awaits the newlyweds.
- A wedding in May foreshadows betrayal.
- If you get married in June, the newlyweds will always love each other.
- Marriage in July portends a sweet and sour life.
- A union recorded in August promises not only love between spouses, but also strong friendship.
- A wedding in September will lead to a long and calm family life.
- Those getting married in October will be shrouded in problems.
- A marriage concluded in November will bring wealth and happiness to the family.
- A wedding in December is for luck. Every year the power of love will only grow stronger.
If you study ancient signs, they say that if you get married from Monday to Wednesday, then the young couple will experience happiness, prosperity and health. And Thursday and Friday are considered not the best days to celebrate.
It is not recommended to register a marriage on the name day of the bride and groom. Unfavorable days are considered to be February 29 and June 11. It is best to give preference to the following numbers - three, five, seven and nine.
The best days for a celebration
According to the Chinese horoscope, 2021 is the year of the White Metal Ox, and its corresponding digital symbol is 5, a sign of fertility and abundance. This means that the entire year 2021 is favorable for the creation of a new unit of society. At the same time, it is best to hold a wedding not on the weekend, but on Friday, because on this day the stars are ruled by Venus, which provides protection to lovers.
Thus, the most favorable dates for marriage are all Fridays in November, which in 2021 fall on the 5th and 12th, as well as the 19th and 26th. A marriage concluded on these dates promises to be happy and prosperous.
It is not advisable to get married during the new moon and full moon that fall on November 11th and 25th.
It is best to celebrate the wedding during those time periods when Venus is in the sign of Libra. In November these are the periods from 9 to 15 and from 28 to 30. However, do not forget that fasting begins on November 28, and at this time the newlyweds can no longer get married.
Thus, the most suitable day for a wedding in November 2021 is November 13th. Many people consider “thirteenth” a bad number, but from an astrological point of view, this particular date is very favorable for creating a new family.

How can a couple dress in the same style for a wedding?
The couple’s clothes, harmonious with each other, attract the eye and make a lasting impression. If you are going to a wedding together, take care of the combination of your outfits.
When the whole family is invited to the wedding, it is worth harmoniously combining the clothes of children and parents
We have already written about what to wear for children to a wedding . You can read more about this here.
There are several options on how to create a fashionable family look for a wedding with friends or relatives. Here they are:
- The easiest way for a family to dress in the same style for a wedding is dark bottom, light top.
- You can dress in one color scheme.
- Use items of similar cut and style.
- Complete your looks with matching accessories or clothing pieces.
- Wear things made of the same material.
- Maintain a common style. If the whole family is wearing sneakers, and the father is wearing formal shoes, there will be no harmony.
- Choose things with a similar pattern. For example, stripes, checks, a certain print theme, etc.
If you don’t want to radically change your habits, you can, for example, dress your husband in a regular suit, but match it with a tie that matches the color of his wife’s dress. Don't try to look the same. You need to complement, not duplicate, each other.
Harmonious couple at a wedding
Location
Most often, the wedding is held in a cozy café or restaurant building, but you can rent a country house, an old mansion or even a castle - any suitable room. Autumn is a time when everyone craves warmth, so you should give preference to cozy rooms with wooden furniture. Ideally, there will be a fireplace - in this case, guests can forget about the bad weather outside the window and truly enjoy the holiday.
The decoration of the hall should be dominated by warm autumn shades: crimson, golden, yellow. Decorate the tables with live arrangements of large yellow and red flowers mixed with leaves and place candles between them.
Both white and brown tablecloths will look good on the tables; The walls of the hall can be draped with fabrics in autumn colors. Use gold-plated plates and red and yellow napkins for your wedding feast.
Interesting! November is a good time for a themed wedding, such as a retro party.
If the newlyweds love to amaze and give surprises, then you can escape from the November slush and organize a wedding somewhere abroad. Thus, the wedding will smoothly flow into the honeymoon. Travel agency staff will help you choose a suitable country for newlyweds.
Outfits and accessories for the bride and groom
Typically, the bride chooses a traditional white dress for her wedding. But here it is necessary to take into account that the weather in November is far from warm.
It is advisable to take replacement shoes with you, for example, classic pumps for the registry office and restaurant, and ankle boots for walking around the city and photo shoots on the street.
It is wise to wear flesh-colored tights or leggings - they will not be visible under a long dress, but the bride will not freeze. On top you will have to throw on a shawl, bolero or light jacket, and if the day turns out to be very cold - even a sheepskin coat.
If the newlyweds have chosen a retro-style wedding, a bright knee-length dress would be appropriate. A wedding in November dictates special requirements in choosing the outfit of the future wife.
The bride can use as accessories:
- an elegant hat with a veil;
- long white gloves;
- beads and other amber jewelry that go perfectly with a white dress and fully correspond to the autumn theme.
Attention! We have a separate article about choosing a warm and beautiful dress for the cold season. Here she is.
You can add notes of autumn to your wedding bouquet: for example, dilute the floral arrangement with yellow leaves.
It is advisable for the bride to have the necessary minimum of cosmetics with her, as well as wet and dry wipes, so that in case of bad weather she can quickly touch up her makeup. It is better to use waterproof cosmetics.
The groom can keep warm by wearing a vest under his jacket - this will look very stylish and will also allow him to stay warm outside. In case of extreme cold, a coat would be appropriate. An elegant scarf or hat will help complete the look. The color and style of the suit must match the bride's wedding dress.
Choosing a bow for a man
For male guests, there are also some simple tips on how to dress for a wedding celebration:
- firstly, you should not wear sports and office clothes, as well as sweaters and jeans, unless, of course, the wedding style suggests this;
- secondly, like women, it is better to listen to the wishes of the future husband and wife and if they indicate the dress code of their holiday in the invitations, then follow it;
- and thirdly, if you are with a companion, then you need to harmonize with her, that is, be in the same style and, perhaps, even the same color scheme.
In the fall, it is appropriate to wear a suit made of thick fabric, for example, cashmere, wool, gabardine, tweed or flannel. And if it’s really cold, you can throw on a cardigan or coat.
The suit itself can be anything, classic, with a print, a three-piece with a vest, everything will depend on the preferences of the man and the style of the event. If you are not a fan of suits, then replace the jacket with an elegant shirt with a bow tie or tie.
By the way, in the fall, “Boho” and “Rustic” themes are popular, for which it is just appropriate to wear thick trousers in combination with a shirt and suspenders.
We hope that now guests will not have a question about what to wear to an autumn wedding with their friends and relatives. We wish you a fun time at such a wonderful holiday as a wedding celebration!
