Seasons Matter: How Timing Impacts Your Wedding Style and Photos

Not every season is created equal when it comes to weddings—and that's especially true in the scenic hills of North Georgia.
At The Heritage at Milford Family Farm, we are surrounded by natural beauty that changes dramatically throughout the year. The golden hues of fall, the lush greens of spring, the cozy charm of winter, and the warm sunlight of summer each bring their own flavor to your big day.
Fall Is the Fan Favorite (Here’s Why)
In Ellijay, autumn transforms our venue into a warm-toned dreamscape of terracotta, gold, and burnt orange. The soft light and cooler temps make outdoor ceremonies perfect. Plus, the photos? Absolutely breathtaking.

What color palette feels like “me”?
Knowing your aesthetic can actually help you choose your perfect season—and your perfect venue backdrop.

Toss the Tradition: How Guests Throwing Petals Can Transform Your Wedding Ceremony
Guests tossing flower petals down the aisle at The Heritage at Milford Family Farm.
When couples think of the traditional flower girl, they often picture one little one sprinkling petals down the aisle. But what if you invited your guests to be a part of this moment too?
At The Heritage at Milford Family Farm, we love helping couples create interactive, personal ceremonies. One beautiful idea we’ve seen? Supplying real flower petals in paper cones or baskets and asking all your guests to toss them joyfully as you walk back down the aisle as newlyweds.
Why It Matters
This small detail does more than look great in photos. It invites your loved ones into your celebration in a physical, emotional way. Everyone participates in the joy, and the result is an unforgettable moment filled with laughter, cheering, and flying petals.
It’s also a great option if you don’t have a flower girl or want to do something a little more unexpected.
How to Pull It Off
Place cones or small baskets filled with flower petals on each guest’s seat
Ask your officiant to cue the toss during the ceremony closing
Use real, biodegradable petals for an eco-friendly, beautiful moment
