Embrace a Beautiful Autumn Wedding
The easiest way to start planning an autumn-themed wedding is to choose rich autumn shades for the wedding's colors. For a clean, more minimalist look, the color palette should incorporate only two or three colors. Good combinations would be gold and red or orange and cream. For a much more colorful wedding, one can choose to incorporate the full spectrum of autumn colors. For example, the centerpieces and bouquets can include flowers in multiple shades of gold, orange and red.
Similarly, bridesmaid dresses can be chosen in a pattern that features several warm-toned colors. For a truly unique look, bridesmaids can even wear dresses in different colors that mimic the beautiful variety of color displayed in the fall foliage.
Once the bride and groom choose their colors, they can focus on developing their autumn theme by incorporating it into other elements of their wedding. For example, the wedding invitations should not only be printed using autumn colors, but should also include images that evoke the spirit of fall. An excellent and beautiful choice is an invitation that features an autumn leaf motif. Similarly, another way to develop the theme of an autumn wedding is to provide autumn-themed favors for the wedding guests. From leaf-shaped place card holders to acorn-shaped candles, there are a myriad of favors that are appropriate for a fall-themed wedding. In addition, if the favors are not clearly autumn-related, they can still be presented in colorful boxes and festooned with leaves and other symbols of fall.
It is also easy to develop an autumn-themed wedding dinner. Because autumn is traditionally associated with the celebration of a bountiful and rich harvest, it lends itself rather easily to a particularly inspired menu. Pumpkins, squash, corn and orchard fruits all reach their peak ripeness during the fall. An autumn-themed wedding menu becomes a truly sumptuous feast with the addition of rich soups, appetizers and side dishes that include these kinds of seasonal produce.
When a couple embraces the spirit of the autumn season in their wedding theme, they truly convey a message of warmth, love and security. As a result, an autumn-themed wedding is not only a beautiful and memorable experience, but also a truly meaningful one.
