Autumn / Fall Theme Wedding

red-leafI see warm colors, cozy surroundings, and a very inviting atmosphere. When you imagine fall weddings, what comes to your mind? This is a wedding theme that really allows you to be creative, so you can bring the outdoors in.. Here are some tips and tricks on how to create your perfect fall wedding.

Autumn / Fall Wedding Themes-  Wedding Color Schemes

To create a fall atmosphere, use warm colors such as reds, rusts, oranges, browns, burgundy and deep yellows.

Autumn / Fall Wedding Themes-  Wedding Invitations

Cut your invitations into the shape of a leaf or pumpkin.

Autumn / Fall Wedding Themes-  Wedding Decorations

* Drape fall foliage over entrance ways, along the aisles and throughout the room.

* Old fashioned wine barrels. Find these at a local winery, hardware store (sometimes), or online.

* Bundled sheaths of wheat or stalks of corn

* Collect small pumpkins, pinecones, acorns, and leaves and scatter them all around the room. Also use them to fill wicker baskets, or copper buckets.

* Scare crows - These are a cute addition to really emphasis your fall theme. You can make your own out of hay and old clothes, or you can purchase one. For pre-made ones, I would start by looking online.

* Find long tree branches (about 7 feet long) that have lots of branches on them. Spray paint them brown, and stand them up in a filled pot so they'll stand on their own. Scatter leaves all around them, to look as if they have just fallen from the trees themselves.

Autumn / Fall Wedding Themes-  Wedding Locations

This is where you can get creative, to make your wedding truly unique! Set out to find the most interesting, rustic looking places that are relatively close to home. Look for inns, barns, old churches, old mills, orchards, vineyards, and parks with a lot of foliage. There are many untouched, old rustic farms out there that you may not know about until you go looking.
