FALL….IN LOVE!

What does September symbolize?

For many, the month of September signals the end of summer, the beginning of autumn, and the start of a new school year. With respect to the calendar, September marks the beginning of the series of months named after their numerical position in the year.

One could say it represents a new start! A fresh beginning. A start to something beautiful. So as the night becomes a bit darker, the leaves change to a breathtaking amber, auburn, crimson.

The smell of crisp air, pumpkin and spices all around. This might be one of my favorite times here in Myrtle Beach, finally getting some cooler temps, the crowds of the beach have lessened, yet we are still full of beautiful beach days! The cooler temps often are a tease here in South Carolina as it is filled with so many more alluring beach days ahead! One might say you could make it a September to remember!

With a few days of cooler weather approaching, one might ponder, what can we do after or before the wedding here in Myrtle Beach? Well even though the weather may not be here yet Myrtle Beach is in full swing of fun fall activities during this time.

 

Here are just some local events in the area while you are here for your wedding in the fall!
