Fantastic Fall Wedding Ideas

Welcome your guests to your wedding with the traditional flavors of fall. A hot apple cider station would be a wonderful addition to either the ceremony location or cocktail hour. The aroma of the mulling spices is a delicious scent, and the warm cider is the perfect way get cozy on a crisp cool afternoon. You could really make a fun display with a rustic looking wooden stand, barrels of apples, and of course the hot cider carafes. Have cinnamon sticks on hand for guests to place in their mugs of cider.

Many fall weddings have a rustic charm, so why not embrace that spirit with charming details? Instead of regular chairs, set up hay bales for the ceremony seating. Cover them with fabric to make them prettier and less scratchy. For the altar area, tall stalks of wheat, colorful dried corn, and grapevines would be spectacular decorations for an arbor or Chuppah poles. Bring in more color with orange Chinese lantern pods and baskets of autumnal mums at the base of the posts. You could line the borders of the ceremony aisle with colorful fall leaves instead of using flower petals or a fabric runner. Small lanterns with a dark goldenrod colored candles inside would be gorgeous decorations for the end of each aisle.

Handcrafted bridal jewelry in warm fall colors would be great for the bride and bridesmaids. Especially pretty is bridal jewelry which is handcrafted with Swarovski crystal leaves in rich shades. For the bridesmaids’ dresses, consider a textural fabric like a luxurious silk dupioni in colors like chocolate, caramel, or russet. If you are not crazy about the super traditional fall colors for your bridesmaid attire, a soft sage green in dupioni would be a lovely choice for the season. You might wish to add a wrap to cover sleeveless dresses; look for one with special details like amber colored crystals along the border or even an embroidered leaf design.

Your wedding favors are a great way to embrace the special nature of autumn. One trend is little mini pies in glass jars to take home. A mini apple pie would be the perfect choice for the season. Add your own customized tag or label to make it even more special. Another option for favors is frosted sugar cookies in the shape of autumn leaves. It is a simple favor, but with thoughtful presentation, it is a wonderful choice.
