As the leaves turn and the air gets crisper, fall becomes a magical time for weddings. The season offers a rich palette of colors and a cozy atmosphere that can make your special day truly unforgettable. Here’s how you can embrace the beauty of fall for your wedding, with inspiration for flowers, bridal party fashion, and reception decor. Plus, discover how to match your wedding theme to your invitations using our colored envelope options and liners to create a great first impression for your guests.

Flowers

Fall flowers bring a warm and vibrant touch to any wedding. Consider blooms like dahlias, chrysanthemums, and marigolds in shades of ruby red, terracotta orange, and pine green. Adding pops of pastel blue or metallic accents can create a stunning contrast and elevate the overall look. For bouquets, think about incorporating seasonal foliage such as eucalyptus, oak leaves, and berries to add texture and depth.

Floral Inspiration:

• Ruby red dahlias and roses for bold, romantic bouquets.
• Terracotta orange chrysanthemums and marigolds for a warm, rustic vibe.
• Pine green foliage and accents to bring a touch of nature.
• Pastel blue delphiniums or hydrangeas for a soft, unexpected pop of color.
• Gold or silver metallic leaves or ribbons for a touch of glamour.

Bridal Party Fashion

Dress your bridal party in colors that complement the season and your chosen palette. Ruby red, terracotta orange, and pine green are perfect for fall weddings and can be mixed and matched to create a harmonious look. Pastel blue can be used as an accent color for accessories or ties, while neutrals and metallics can add a sophisticated touch.

Fashion Tips:

• Bridesmaids in ruby red or terracotta dresses paired with pine green shawls or accessories.
• Groomsmen in classic suits with pine green or metallic ties and boutonnieres that match the floral arrangements.
• Flower girls in pastel blue dresses with metallic accents to add a touch of whimsy.

Reception Decor

Transform your reception venue into an autumnal wonderland with decor that reflects the season’s beauty. Incorporate rich fabrics, natural elements, and warm lighting to create an inviting atmosphere.

Decor Ideas:

• Table centerpieces featuring a mix of fall flowers, foliage, and candles in gold or copper holders.
• Linens in neutral tones with pops of your key colors for a balanced look.
• Pine green or terracotta drapery and table runners to add depth and warmth.
• Metallic accents in gold or silver for a touch of elegance.
