Fall is a great time of year for a wedding either indoors or outdoors. With cooler temperatures and warm colors of falling leaves, fall provides a beautiful season for wedding décor. A fall wedding is a great way to celebrate the change of seasons and excitement of upcoming holidays with new friends and family members.
Whether you’re planning an indoor or outdoor wedding, you can take advantage of beautiful autumn colors in warm hues of bronze, red, gold, orange and yellow. You can include these colors in your wedding cake, flower arrangements, table décor, and wedding favors for your guests.
An Indoor Wedding
If you’re planning an indoor wedding, you don’t have to worry about the weather on the day of the event. You can concentrate on your wedding invitations, wedding gown, bridesmaids’ dresses, floral arrangements and table décor for your reception. Depending on the number of invited guests and style of your wedding, you have a lot of options for your reception. If you’re planning a formal wedding, consider a luxury hotel banquet room or a private country club. If you opt for a more casual wedding, consider a rooftop reception or a gathering at a quaint New York City cabaret.
An Outdoor Wedding
If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, the weather will be a major factor. A sudden drop in temperatures, gusty winds, or an unexpected rain storm can put a real damper on an outdoor wedding. Since it’s hard to predict mother nature, it’s important to have a backup plan to move people indoors quickly if the weather becomes a problem. With an outdoor wedding, you can take advantage of mother nature’s fall beauty and use the landscape as a colorful backdrop. If it turns chilly, offer guests cozy throw blankets and hot cocoa or apple cider. You can even provide your bridesmaids and groomsmen with warm pashminas that match your décor.
Whether you prefer an indoor or outdoor fall wedding, take advantage of fall decorating ideas that will create a warm, comfortable setting. Consider table centerpieces with pumpkins, gourds, corn stalks, fall flowers and gold or bronze ribbons. Sprinkle colorful autumn leaves down the aisle, rather than traditional rose petals. Create beautiful table place cards with preserved maple leaves in warm hues of red, orange and gold. For creative wedding favors, consider delicious caramel apples wrapped in orange cellophane with gold and bronze ribbons, or driftwood candle holders that showcase nature.
