Ideas Needed for Fall 2011 Wedding

Does anyone have ideas for other additional combinations. I'm still tossing around color schemes but shimmery gold is definitely planned for the reception look . I'd love to chat with all who are learning things as we go along The wedding is going to be a church wedding & formal evening reception. Still tossing around color schemes especially since we live in western Massachusetts where the foliage is superb but the 2nd week of September is a little too early for a leaf or pumpkin theme.

I'd love to hear any suggestions on color themes, unique ideas people are considering to make their reception personalized. I;ve heard of guest books that have actual pages to fill out qith questions like hoe you know the couple and memories of them We;d like something more than guests just signing a book, Any ideas or suggested wed site. Suggestions would also be help for any fall 2009 & 2010 brides who are further in their wedding process. Is anyone else planning their September 2011wedding day?  I'm new to these forums so I'd appreciate any help offered I'm getting married of 9-10-11 in Massachusetts.
