Our Favorite Fall Wedding Ideas

There’s a magic to fall. The changing of the leaves and the crisp drop in temperature add a sense of excitement to the air. It’s no surprise that the season’s charms make fall one of the most popular times to have a wedding. Are you considering or already planning a fall wedding? Get inspired by the magic of the season and check out this list of our favorite fall wedding ideas.

Add Fall Tones

One of the most beautiful fall wedding choices is incorporating fall colors. You can use reds, yellows, oranges, browns, and other rich tones in your decorations to complement the beautiful fall foliage. Consider using fall tones as your wedding colors and outfitting your wedding party in rich reds or deep browns. You can amp up the fall feel of this rich color palette by incorporating cold-weather fabrics, like velvets or knits, into your decorations and clothing.

Use Seasonal Decorations

Incorporate the fall harvest and add seasonal fruits, vegetables, and foliage into your wedding decorations. Consider using clusters of small pumpkins as centerpieces or using sprigs of cranberries to decorate your place settings. You could also incorporate fall elements into your floral arrangements by adding small pinecones or fall leaves to your bouquets.

 Keep it Rustic-Themed

Rustic touches pair perfectly with the lovely, rich tones of fall, and work exceptionally well with outdoor or barn weddings. To add a rustic touch to your fall wedding, consider tying your invitations or place settings with twine or using hay bales for additional guest seating. Wooden signs and other wooden decorations are also a charming way to add a homey feel.

Keep Your Guests Cozy

If all or part of your fall wedding will be outside, consider adding “Warm Up” stations to your wedding as a thoughtful way to keep your guests comfortable. You could have fire pits stationed throughout the area or keep it simple with baskets full of blankets or shawls.

Enjoy Seasonal Foods

Embrace fall’s seasonal flavors and incorporate fall foods into your wedding. You could offer seasonal beverages like apple cider, hot chocolate, or whatever your favorite fall drink is. You could also offer some of fall’s many delicious desserts, like pumpkin pie or caramel apples.
