The leaves are in the air, and so is love! Fall is finally here, and it’s the perfect season to commemorate the love between you and your special someone. Give life to your dream fall wedding with these five ideas.
1. Dip into Fall’s Expansive Color Palette
Choosing the right set of colors for your wedding can be taxing, but having somewhere to start makes the job a little bit easier.
For your fall wedding, play with the wide range of colors the season has to offer. Fall is best known for its hues of burnt red, orange, and yellow, but you can also get experimental with burgundy, purple, black, and even sage green.
Most of these colors come in a variety of shades. What kind of vibe do you want your fall wedding to have? Dark and formal or bright and vivid? Choose colors that accurately pull off your desired look and feel of your special day.
2. Cozy Up to the Fall Décor
Your home isn’t the only thing you deck out in fall décor when autumn rolls around. How you decorate is crucial to tying together your wedding theme.
Once you’ve got your wedding colors picked out, think about the decorative pieces you want to go with them.
Fall staples include pumpkins, leaves, dried florals, mason jars, and just about anything rustic. If your wedding colors are on the darker side, add a dash of vibrance with an assortment of decorative pumpkins and leaves.
On the contrary, a warm, radiant-colored wedding would benefit from the soft, subtle touch of pampas grass and white roses.
Incorporating the natural, outdoorsy aura of fall into your wedding décor is especially easy when you host an outdoor wedding, which we dive more into detail about below.
3. Have an Outdoor Fall Wedding
Take advantage of the season and have a fall-themed outdoor wedding ceremony. With four Rosen Wedding properties boasting eye-catching outdoor scenes, the possibilities are endless.
Fall in Florida is unmatched. Temperatures are lower, but not cold — or hot. It’s just right.
Because of Orlando’s warmer temperatures, the greens last a little longer throughout the year. This is perfect for those who want their fall colors to vibrantly stand out against their setting.
Outdoor weddings also allow you to get more creative with your décor. If you favor the rustic side of fall wedding themes, woodsy decorative pieces like barrels better complement a natural landscape than they do an indoor setting.
4. Pick the Right Fall Foliage
As the seasons change, so do the flowers in bloom. Channel true fall energy by choosing the right mix of flowers for your wedding.
Sunflowers are the first ones we think of when imagining fall. Its vibrant golden hue perfectly
complements the warm browns and oranges of the season.
If you want to step away from the ordinary, however, you could incorporate flowers like dahlias, zinnias, peach garden roses, and cosmos. Mix some greens into your floral décor with ivy or eucalyptus, and fill the gaps in your bouquets with baby’s breath or aster.
5. Aim for Fall-themed Fashion
You’ve taken the necessary steps to ensure your fall wedding looks the part, but now you must do the same for yourself and the wedding party!
For the bride, fall is the perfect season to explore wedding dresses with long sleeves. Opt for a lacey look to preserve the free, elegant feel associated with the season while also keeping cool in the outdoor temperatures.
For the groom, step away from the standard black tuxedo and go for something bolder. Brown, burgundy, and burnt orange make stellar choices.
You can also make your bridesmaids and groomsmen’s attire contrast; vibrant colors on one side and dark colors on the other!
Don’t shy away from asking your guests to arrive on theme as well. In addition to a formal dress code, you can include color requirements on your wedding invitations.
List a range of colors for your guests to choose from; maybe different ones for men, women, and children. This allows the execution of your wedding theme to flow much more seamlessly.
