Autumn is the perfect season for a wedding, whether indoors or out. The natural backdrop of breathtaking hues and the crisp fall air combine to create an atmosphere like no other, ideal for celebrating the joining of two unique souls.
Planning your picturesque fall wedding can be tricky though. Choosing the right colors, flowers, lighting and cuisine to complement the season takes time and effort. This guide can save you both.
The Venue
Whether you decide to tie the knot outdoors or in, you’ll want to take advantage of the color show going on in the trees. An outdoor ceremony does this to the fullest but weather tends to be finicky in the fall. Indoors may be the best, or only, option. Should your wedding be inside, a venue with plenty of windows for natural light will be ideal.
The Colors
Autumn weddings are stunning, aren’t they? People often choose to utilize the traditional seasonal colors, the gold and crimson and warm browns. While these are lovely and classic, there are many other colors that complement what nature already provides. Plum, evergreen, and ivory tones are exceptionally pretty for fall, as well as navy, teal, or deep rose pink.
The Decor
One of the things that makes a fall wedding so special is the seasonal decor available. From fallen leaves and pumpkins to rustic branches and burlap, the options are endless. It’s easy to mix and match textures to create a beautiful visual display. Try pairing sparkling crystal with a burlap table runner or tie satin ribbon around rough branches. The contrast creates depth and interest that your guest will remember.
