I'm trying to decide on a date for my wedding in either September or October, 2008. We're getting married on Camelback Mountain in the Poconos. I wanted to benefit from the fall foliage, as those are the colors in my palette. Thanks, in advance.
Answer Kelly,
The fall foliage peaks in the Poconos around the first week or so of October. You will get some nice color by the end of September. If you wait until after October 15th, then you will have missed the peak, but there will still be some color left.
I hope this helped.
