Autumn weddings are known for their cozy aesthetics and rustic charm. Many brides want to create a fall wedding that feels comfortable for their guests and aligns with the changing season. There are so many ways to let your personality shine through your wedding planning decisions, and fall is such a beautiful time of the year to celebrate your big day. We put together three autumn wedding trends to consider in your wedding planning process.
Embrace Warm Color Palettes
While neutral colors had their moment in the spotlight in recent years, some brides are starting to opt for more bold color choices throughout the ceremony and reception. Many brides also choose to embrace warm, earthy color palettes during this time of year. Find ways to incorporate beautiful shades of yellow, burgundy, and emerald as you plan out the colors for your big day. If you’d like certain moments to stand out, consider including some patterns and bold accent colors to enhance your overall look. It’s your day, and it’s important to choose a color palette that makes you feel excited and confident when you walk down the aisle.
Create Rustic-Chic Florals
The right floral combination can make everything pop on your big day. Autumn is arguably one of the most beautiful times of the year, and there are plenty of floral combinations that you can utilize to give a nod to the season. Many brides opt for roses, chrysanthemums, or aster flowers with various combinations of greenery. If those aren’t your style, you can get creative with other local options during this time of the year. At Olde Homestead, we offer floral services harvested from our own woods and gardens. Our team will go above and beyond to make your day special and create lifelong memories for you and your guests.
Create a Cozy Atmosphere
As the weather gets cooler, there are so many ways you can add cozy elements to make your guest feel comfortable. If your ceremony is outdoors, consider offering blankets to your guests that match your overall aesthetic. Local, seasonal dishes are typically a big hit at autumn weddings, so be sure to find ways to incorporate your favorite seasonal items. Also, there’s nothing better than a hot chocolate bar with plenty of toppings to close out the night. Many brides opt for marshmallows, peppermint sticks, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings. Now is the time to get creative and to consider your favorite fall memories over the years. Our team will help you bring your ideas to life.
