Fall Wedding Ideas

Colors

The cool atmosphere of autumn makes outdoor weddings most appropriate so you and your guests can all be delighted with the yellow surroundings. The first idea if you're getting married in fall is to choose colors that reflect the season, which can be any from the shades of reds, browns, oranges, and warm golds. These colors blend well with the natural colors of fall. Use them for bridesmaids gowns, linens, wedding favors, or the cake!

Flowers

For floral arrangements, choices of flowers should be in season to save on costs. Carnations, daisies, mums, and roses are autumn blooms. Also arrange them with dried/natural wheat or fallen leaves and tallow berries, then bunched up together with shiny gold ribbons to add oomph and sophistication to your fall wedding decorations. Use them as corsages or boutonnieres aside from setting them for the wedding ceremony.

Favors

Autumns are reminders of typical country settings similar to Huckleberry Fin. This can be your inspiration for autumn wedding favors. Give local treats instead of contemporary items that guests find on ordinary days. Maple syrup, apple cider, in decorative glass bottles with the couple's names for label; tea, chocolate syrup, or coffee in personalized containers; small pots with carnations; or leaf-shaped candles, bookmarks, vases, coasters can be delightful wedding favors.

Most wedding planners would like a decorated pumpkin as table centerpieces since they resemble the season so well. Think of a Cinderella scenario and keep the event as elaborate and elegant, as it can be without spending above your budget can handle. Feel like a true princess by using a horse-drawn carriage to complete that autumn wedding romance. It is your special day, after all, so reserve timidity and be a dazzling bride.

Invitations

The golds, browns, oranges, and yellows are popular but you can select other colors within these hues such as rust orange, chocolate brown, burgundy, burnt orange, wheat, cinnamon, sepia, sangria, russet, saffron, and pumpkin.

The trendy colors of autumn 2007 are all that glitters, but use neutral colors for this season and add the elegance of bronze in your selection. Find bronze bridal garter set, traditional guest book, designer pen base, ring pillows, and even the flower girl basket. They key in blending colors in autumn is to go for monochrome items that ooze with elegance and stylishness.

Fallen leaves are the typical images of autumn from which you can base your fall wedding ideas from. Some invitations contain embossed leaves that offer a delicate and heart-warming impression. You may also apply images of blown leaves, scattered on the ground, piles of leaves, or leaf prints, into you invitations. If you want to deviate from the country feel, use squared images and color blocking to give your motif a contemporary appearance.

In addition, you can glorify the autumn produce by printing images of harvests into your wedding invitations. Apples, berries, grapevines, and pears can be used for motifs though they are less common.
