When you think of a fall wedding, immediately, the thought comes
to mind of pumpkins, Indian corn or any ideas revolving around Halloween
or Thanksgiving. There's so much more when it comes to Autumn and
planning a wedding reception during this colorful season.
One of the first things to focus on is the color palette reflecting your fall wedding event. With so many beautiful rich and vibrant colors surrounding us during this spectacular season, which color choice or choices not only blends with the season, but also works into the theme of your wedding. With purples or oranges being the top color choices for fall and fall weddings, there are more warm and elegant colors to be considered. Copper, mocha, golds, chocolate, caramel or are in the brown color palette, sea green, olive, sage, jade or moss are in the green family of colors. Shades of orange and brown are popular together, eggplant and olive, olive and rust, mocha and dark olive, or chocolate and eggplant are sure to give your wedding a fresh look of the season. There are endless possibilities for combining colors but limit yourself to two but no more than three color combinations.
The Wedding Reception
For the festive nature of the season, wedding receptions can lend themselves to gorgeous decorations, and with the autumn's colors and motifs, creative brides have much to work with for inspiring ideas. Decorating the banquet hall or outside wedding area is among the most important part of entire wedding, highlighting the fall season.
If your thoughts are on an outside wedding, tie a battery operated mini party light inside paper lanterns and hang around the outside of a tent, once the sun goes down, the lanterns will give a warm and romantic glow. This also works hanging in trees or inside a barn style wedding.
Decorate an outside arbor with grapevines and string lighting throughout or hang small votive candles onto the vines.
If you're creative and a DYI bride, using the natural surroundings can work to your favor with table decorations. Cut up small tree logs into discs and then write table numbers on them to be placed on the reception tables, then do the same for place seating but use a smaller diameter with your gusts name and table number. Ideal as a rustic table number sign and place seating.
Do the same with pumpkins and carve a table number, and at the same time, the pumpkin can be used as a vase and filled with fall wedding flowers.
Using cuts from a tree also create great centerpieces for candles or flower arrangements, hollow the inside creating a vase or as a tealight or candle holders.
Another rustic idea is craft wood tags labels and personalize with guests names using them for napkin ring holders.
Rustic style metal lanterns come in a variety of sizes and heights and have become popular at weddings for any season. Use as centerpieces or hang around the venue using candles or fall festive flowers inside.
Spruce up the tables with burlap runners adding to the fall atmosphere.
Vintage French style pails or pitchers filled with chrysanthemums, daisies, hydrangeas with make for abundant centerpiece arrangement.
Place an abundant centerpiece vase of tree branches on top of a mirror, and then scatter petals or leaves reflecting falling leaves from a tree.
