The time to plan for your fall wedding decorations is now and these ideas will give you a great start.
The autumn season provides such a wonderful choice of rich hues and interesting options that it makes it especially fun to plan a wedding for. You can choose to make your decor as formal and elegant, or as informal as you wish, using nature and all its beauty.
For the Entryway
The decorations your guests will see first are the entrance doors to your ceremony location. Why not start at the entrance doors by placing dried cornstalks made into stalks on each side of the door? Hang wreaths that match the fall flowers you are using through the wedding on the doors themselves.
A cream tablecloth or one in your accent color can cover your guest book and program table. A fall designed pen and matching guest book will make an elegant statement and put the programs in a woven basket and tie with a bow or raffia to continue your fall wedding theme.
Inside the Church / Ceremony Location
To decorate the aisle pews, follow through with mini-wreaths that match the wreaths on the doors. You may also use a glittery maple leaf that you have centered in a tuft of fall colored organza to match your theme colors.
The altar arrangements can also feature fall foliage. Mix the colors of fall leaves with flowers, pinecones, acorns, berries and dried wheat for a stunning and unique look.
Using candelabras at the church altar will give a soft glow that compliments these colors.
For the Reception
The wedding reception venue may help to determine how much and what kind of decorating you will need to do. For example, a countryside wedding or a rustic barn provides its own lovely backdrop.
If you are using a ballroom in a very nice hotel then the drapes and other decor will certainly require a lot more decorating to transform it into your fall theme wedding site. For your table linens you have choices of cream, mocha, a chocolate, or ivory as a great starting base. To that, add a fall table runner and scatter fall colored silk flowers on the cloth.
Chairs look terrific covered by burlap sacks and tied with raffia at an informal setting. If the wedding is more formal, tie with ribbon in one of your main theme colors.
Here are some great fall wedding centerpiece ideas:
1. Pick up miniature pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn and arrange them in an attractive copper or bronze bucket or in a pretty basket.
2. Place fruits such as apples, oranges, lemons, and other non-perishables in bowls or baskets and put some nuts in their shells among them.
3. Cranberries are a bright addition arranged in a basket or clear bowl for a simple and affordable centerpiece on a dark cloth.
4. Buy candles in leaf shapes and float in a fish bowl placed on a mirror so it will reflect the beautiful glow of the candles.
5. Scatter fall leaves, gourds, small pumpkins, acorn and other fall foliage rather than a centerpiece in the center or down the center of table.
These are but a few of the many things you might do for your fall wedding centerpieces, so use your imagination and have fun.
For the Head and Cake Tables
On to the head table and the special decorations for your special table … A garland of fall flowers and foliage strung across the front of the table with simple sunflower baskets arranged at each end of the table is a good backdrop for pictures.
Another option is to swag a lighted fall garland which would be especially lovely if you're having a night wedding.
The wedding cake table is a focal point of the reception and should be decorated keeping that in mind. Scatter twigs, small branches, nuts, pinecones, acorns and fall leaves on top of the table. Swag a fall garland around the table for a finish.
Well, there you are, I truly hope there are some fall wedding ideas that you can use or that starts your creative juices flowing.
