Fall Wedding Themes
In the northern hemisphere, fall officially begins on September 21st and ends on December 21st when the winter season starts. The natural landscape has a seasonal touch enabling couples to take advantage of the crisp air, beautiful leaves turning color, abundant acorns, pine cones, pumpkins, Indian corn, berries, cornucopias and gourds.
Close your eyes and what pops into your mind when you think of autumn wedding colors? Vibrant reds, burgundy, orange, yellow, brown, gold and sage green are popular fall colors that dominate the autumn palate. Today’s modern brides are choosing chocolate brown with light blue accents.
Can you imagine having your reception in an old stone house, an 18th century inn or town hall? Consider having a casual party in an old barn, vineyard, apple orchard or mill by a lazy river. If you’re hosting a more elaborate wedding reception, look for a room with an old, large, fireplace, lots of rich dark wood and if you find a place with stained glass windows that’s an added bonus. Decorations
If you’re on a budget, decorate the tables using potted mums surrounded with tea candles. Other autumn centerpiece ideas that are a hit include, a carved out pumpkin filled with dried fall flowers or candles. If money is not an object, ask your florist to create a centerpiece incorporating pine cones and acorns along with your fresh flowers.
