Autumn Wedding Decorations

[sonee mark]

There are so many options with a fall wedding. September offers delicious reds, muted greens, and golden yellows. You need to look to a local apple orchard for color and decoration inspiration-- small apple details printed on place cards, apple topiaries as centerpieces, warm apple cider as a cocktail option, and milling spices as a parting gift for your guests.
October brings burnt ochre, deep russet, and forest green tones. The use of pumpkins, fall leaves, acorns, and gourds will set a warm tone for your wedding, and they are all inexpensive ways to decorate. Favors could be as simple as some roasted pumpkin seeds in a small burlap sachet and a ribbon. Use the nature around you to inspire color and texture for your day. If you are looking to really make and impression and want something different for you wedding, take those pumpkins and carve Jack o' Lanterns as centerpieces and scatter some candy corns around the base.
November brings a harvest of colors and ideas. It is a season of being thankful and your wedding is a chance to capitalize on that sentiment. Rather than traditional table numbers, mark the tables with gold words signifying things for which you and your groom are thankful. Rather than a typical wedding cake, look to the season. Petit fours of pumpkin cheesecake, pecan pie, and spice cake would be a surprising dessert for your guests to enjoy.
