Looking For A Fall Theme Wedding Idea?

A wedding date anytime from September through November just begs for a fall theme wedding idea. Fall boasts a beautiful burnt orange, shades of gold and burgundy, and deep mahogany, all of which combine to create gorgeous colors for your wedding. It’s harvest time and you and your fiance are reaping the benefits of your relationship with your wedding celebration.

Hold your fall theme wedding ceremony at a tiny church deep in the woods or overlooking tree covered mountains. A log cabin or farm will offer the same effect as would a historic home.

Whether you have to rent one of these locations or know someone who owns one and is willing to lend it to you, it will be well worth the trip and/ or the expense. Any outdoor setting which puts you in the middle of the cool autumn weather and gorgeous natural colors is a perfect choice for a fall theme wedding idea.

Though you probably won’t be wearing any of the colors that are dangling from the trees outside, you may be interested in a heavy silk wedding dress in ivory or cream. Carry flowers of deep burgundy and gold, perhaps having the hem of your veil or train decorated with a light lace or bead accent in these same colors.

Your spouse can wear a bow tie or tie that matches your flowers or also incorporate a cream colored shirt with his black tux. Your bridesmaid’s dresses should match your flowers and the groomsmen should wear boutonnieres that match the dresses.

Accent your harvest and fall themes with classical guitarists or Native American flautists. Use fruits of the season like cranberries, squash, dried herbs and leaves as decorations for the pews and table centerpieces.

Tulle, always a wedding decoration plus, in your shades of wedding harvest colors can be draped over tiny lights, tied around chairs and used as bunting as a nice addition to your fall theme wedding idea.

Your wedding dinner should consist of vegetables of the season like baked yams, green beans, roasted chicken and thick steaks. Tomato soup and sides of squash and mixed salads will add color and taste to the tables.

If your reception is or has access to the outdoors, set up bonfires for roasting marshmallows or find a reception hall that has working fireplaces available for your use. Consider having a pumpkin ganache served on the side of your wedding cake or lightly sweetened cranberry syrup to drizzle over it.

As well as full stomachs and the warm glow from the fire, send your guests home with a small token of your appreciation. Call upon your fall theme wedding idea for inspiration. A candle holder made of brass with a ribbon inscribed with your wedding details is a good choice.

If most of your guests have had to travel to be with you, a small package of hot cocoa with a mug inscribed with your wedding information is a good choice. Maybe a packet of scone mix and a baking tin could be alternated on the tables so that those with too many mugs can choose something a little different.

No matter what you choose, with just a few of these fall theme wedding ideas, you’re sure to create an event that will stay with you and your guests for years to come.
