Fall Wedding Ideas and Themes by Georgina Clatworthy
A fall wedding is perfect for those couples looking for a warm and intimate feel to their day. The season evokes a sense of families coming together and it is also a romantic time for a wedding. Here are some hints and tips to help you create a fall wedding.
Where to Have a Fall Wedding
Look for places evocative with the season such as barns, halls and inns. A fall wedding can be elegant and casual in the right setting. Orchards and vineyards are also great places for fall weddings or look for places where you can enjoy views over the autumn foliage and enjoy its rich colors.
The Décor for Your Fall Wedding
Create an entrance with sheaths of wheat or corn at your reception venue. Your color scheme should reflect the rich autumnal shades of the season such as red, brown and orange. For a modern scheme, use rich chocolate brown and accents of light blue. For decorative accents on your tables, use pumpkins, cornucopias, acorns and gourds. Make jack-o-lanterns by carving your monogram into pumpkins and use them as table centers.
Fall Wedding Flowers
During the autumn season you will find a wide choice of inexpensive flowers and foliage such as mums, roses, daisies, yarrow, Fall Leaves, berries and grain crops. Pumpkins are a great choice for fall weddings and hollowed out, they make great vases for flower arrangements. Choose blue or white pumpkins as an alternative to the usual orange.
Attire for Your Fall Wedding
Instead of traditional white or ivory gowns, choose cream or off-white dresses with accents of gold. Choose jewel tones for your bridesmaids or autumnal colors and match the groomsmen’s vests with them. For a luxurious touch look for fabrics such as velvets and brocades. Fall weather can be unpredictable and it maybe hard to find out in advance what the weather and temperature will be on the day. Accessorize with shawls, caplets or wraps which can be added or removed easily when required.
Planning the Menu
For a traditional fall dinner choose roast turkey and pumpkin pie, but there are many other options for your wedding breakfast. Roast quail, rib roast and hearty soups all evoke the season. Serve side dishes of seasonal vegetables and mashed potatoes, along with whole grain bread rolls. When your guests arrive serve them a warming welcome drink of cider punch with a cinnamon stick stirrer and as an alternative to wedding cake choose a baked apple dessert.
A Fall Wedding Cake
For a fall wedding choose a spiced cake covered in rich chocolate or forget the cake altogether and serve up apple, pumpkin and pecan pie with pumpkin bread.
Wedding Favors
Choose favors in keeping with the season like apples, cider punch or preserves. Caramel apples wrapped with cellophane are very evocative of fall or boxes of marzipan fruits. For a more decorative favor give miniature pumpkins or corn dollies tied with ribbon.
A Halloween Wedding
A Halloween wedding gives couples the opportunity to have some fun and put on a themed, fancy dress reception. Ask your guests to come in full spooky dress and masks. As the happy couple, you can choose to either wear traditional wedding attire or costumes, or perhaps both and change at the reception. Set up a pumpkin carving table to keep the children occupied.
