Golden autumn foliage and a sweet breeze touching your cheek. A slow dance under the glow of paper lanterns. The wonderful temperate feeling of the air makes for perfect romance, and especially lovely evening receptions...
If you aren't already planning to use an event tent, think about it for when the skies aren't cooperating. Need ground space and ambience? Tap a good friend or relative who's got access to a vineyard, or a farm, or simply someone who resides in a picturesque location like the foothills where the leaves put on a stunning show in fall.
With all the natural splendor of the season, it will not be difficult to embellish for an autumn nuptial at such venues!
However, if the do-it-yourselfer inside you simply will not be content without throwing together a couple of dozen gifts, consider creating dark chocolate leaves inside treat molds, or decoupage gorgeous autumn leaves onto tiles to produce some cute drink coasters, or whipping out a plate of cookies trimmed into pumpkin or other seasonal shapes.
Old-fashioned elements go naturally with any fall wedding! Burlap, collectibles, and string will always be terrific picks, and glass is quickly becoming couple's choice regardless of the season. However, do not restrict your use of old-fashioned textures to tables. Consider ways to employ surprising textures and elements in other areas. Such as the amazing wedding cake you have in mind! Consider your wrapping the bouquets in burlap or string.
Different textures can also work into your garments. Today's bridal gowns are rich in magnificent textures such as wide lace and applique blooms. It is as if they are created to glorify the time of year. For colors, you're talking about timeless russets, sunny golds, splendid greens and browns, and deep reds here.
