Fall Wedding Ideas:

*Pick warm colors to decorate theceremony and reception venues. Decorations in any of these shades are great suggestions: Burnt sienna, red, orange, and mustard. A modern fall color scheme is chocolate brown with light blue accents. However, all the fall colors compliment each other, so it is also very easy to mix all the colors of the season without going overboard or have color overload.

*Add a unique detail to your ceremony substitute dried leaves for petals in your flower girl's basket. If fall foliage isn't abundant when you wed, you can order pressed leaves online (from drynature.com). Line a pint-size basket with a cotton fabric. Using scissors, cut a large round of fabric and a slit on opposite sides to accommodate the handles, then place in basket. Wrap silk ribbon around, and tie in a bow.

*For something really cute and unique, find or rent an old-fashioned flower cart and use it for your gifts.

*You can use pumpkins carved with the names of the couple as table centerpieces. White or blue natural pumpkins will add an elegant and unique touch. Autumn colored candles or votives tied with ribbons in harvest colors also make great fall centerpieces. (Remember to use unscented candles at indoor events. Fall is a popular time for allergies. Scents will make allergies even worse.)


*Add cinnamon sticks and cloves to the wedding punch or drinks for a simple fall touch!

*Hollow out a white pumpkin, encrust it with jewels and pearlized glitter; fill it with dip for crackers. You can also add these jewel encrusted pumpkins to centerpieces and fill with candles.(Make cuts in the sides for extra candle light glow.)

Look to the season for inspiration! I am sure you will be amazed at what you can incorporate into your wedding day.
