With summer coming to an end and fall beginning, it’s a good time to plan to have your wedding. The weather is cooling down and isn’t as hot as it usually is during July and August which makes it much more comfortable for outside ceremonies or receptions. Fall also brings many other good aspects to a wedding as well as new trends – a few weeks ago we had a post about fall wedding trends, due to the popularity of that post we have some more fall wedding trend ideas for you!

Fall Wedding Favors

When deciding on the type of wedding favors you would like for your guests, it is easy to relate to the season in which we are in. With fall, you might want to inquire the changing of trees and falling of leaves, which happens every fall. If your wedding date falls closer towards Halloween you could have pumpkin sweets or spices. You can place your name on little sunflower seed packets for guests to eat or plant for a more rustic fall wedding. Another great idea for a fall wedding would be to have caramel apples placed in bags with ribbons tied around them, which you could match with your wedding colors. If you’re still stuck in the summer, no problem – we have summer wedding favor ideas for you too!

Fall Wedding Decorations

Usually when you think of fall you would think more of an outside look. For a reception or even your ceremony, you could have it outside surrounded by trees to give it more of a fall atmosphere. Another unique idea you could add would be instead of flower pedals lining the aisle you could put rustic looking leaves along the sides of guests chairs.

When choosing your linens you could give them a “crunched” look as a resemblance of leaves that have fallen. As well as adding amber colored lights around the room, which will give it more of an evening sun feel. If you choose on having an indoor reception another possibility would be to add potted trees surrounding the room with lights shinning on them.

Fall Flowers

The hottest trend in fall flowers are richly hued arrangements with a lot of texture. Instead of using a couple of different flowers, try a variety of many different kinds that go with your color scheme. A suggestion for some florists are poppys with dark centers which make a dramatic element that shows that summer is now over. When going into fall you should pick more deep and drastic shades than you would in the summer months. The autumnal tones are red, burgundy, orange, and plum.

Loosely tied bouquets are more of the summer look. For fall, you might want to think of your arrangement to be more packed and maybe held together by ribbons or velvet sashes. As for centerpieces, instead of flowers you can use plants to add to the fall look. If you do choose to go with flowers with your centerpieces, be sure to make the vases more than just the normal clear vases. With fall, vases with colors such as a gold-leaf, silver, or even wood make for a more appropriate look towards the fall season.

With the season of fall coming soon, what better way to start it off with other than a wedding that has all the fall season’s aspects!!  Make your wedding unique and memorable – use the season to you advantage!
