Fall Wedding Decorations: Centerpieces
and Decor for Autumn Weddings
Fall Wedding Theme Decoration and Centerpiece Ideas
If you are looking for a warm and intimate wedding
reception, consider a fall wedding. As people start thinking
about coming home more, and spending more time with their
families, it's a romantic time for a wedding. Here are some
fall wedding ideas to get you started.
Where
to Have a Fall Wedding
Think of storybook fall setting such as inns, 18th century
churches and meeting houses, old mills and even barns. A fall
wedding can be casual yet elegant set in a beautiful old barn.
You might also look at an apple orchard, a vineyard, or any
place that will have a view of fall foliage. If you live in
a climate where the leaves don’t change, look for a
venue with lots of rich dark wood and warmth such as a gentleman’s
club or university club. A fireplace is an extra special touch.
The Décor for Your Fall Wedding
Set the tone for your fall wedding as soon as your guests
enter with sheaths of wheat or corn at the entrance.
Choose either rich jewel tones to decorate the room, or a
traditional fall color scheme such as reds, oranges, browns
and yellows. A modern fall color scheme uses only chocolate
brown with light-blue accents. Fill the room with the bounty
of the season - pumpkins, cornucopias, acorns, and gourds.
Make jack-o-lanterns with decorative patterns rather than
scary faces, or use paper bag luminaria for a similar effect.

Fall wedding table decorations are a wonderful
way to tie the season into your wedding. The key to fall decor
is to use natural objects to create beautiful works of art.
So take a look around you and begin planning! When you think
of the fall season do you picture warm colored vegetables
growing in a field? If so, then you probably live in a part
of the country where changing leaves and late summer veggies
mark the fall season. These beautiful vegetables are not only
tasty, but also wonderful to use for table decor.
Pumpkins
are an easy way to spice up a fall table. Arranging them in
different sizes in the center of the table takes no time and
offers a simple yet pretty look. Be careful not to use pumpkins
that guests cannot see over however.
To make the table more attractive, you can also
add a garland of fall leaves or even tulle under the pumpkins.
Tiny pumpkins can be floated in bowls of water with floating
candles for an interesting table decoration.
Squash is another vegetable that can be used
for table decor. It can be arranged much like the pumpkins
or can be added with pumpkins for a look of variety.
For a busy bride, sometimes the best decorative
solutions are the easiest to accomplish. Potted mums are
wonderful
for table decor in the autumn season. Mums come in a variety
of colors and are a trademark flower of fall. By buying pre-potted
mums, brides can rest easy knowing the table decorations will
not be a hassle. To dress up the pots, brides can wrap them
in tulle and secure the fabric with a nice ribbon.
Fall Wedding Flowers
Generally you can find Mums, roses, daisies, yarrow, fall
leaves, tallow berries and both natural and dried wheat for
inexpensive prices during the fall.
A spray of wheat or a mum accented with a pheasant feather
makes an elegant boutonnière. Consider hollowing out
pumpkins for your centerpiece containers – if you don’t
have the time, many craft and home stores now sell realistic
fake pumpkins.
But if you go with the real thing, consider white or blue
natural pumpkins for an elegant and unique touch.
