How to Nail Your Fall Wedding Décor
Modern fall weddings are often some of the most magical (and memorable). Not only is autumn a naturally gorgeous time of year, but fall florals and foliage pair perfectly with the cozy casual vintage and rustic elements many of us have saved to our “one-day” Pinterest boards over the years.
Looking for inspiration for your fall wedding decorations?
These autumn wedding décor trends will help you create the perfect tone and atmosphere for your harvest-season wedding.
Crafting Your Autumn Palette
Embrace the rich tapestry of fall colors. Think beyond the traditional oranges and reds—consider:
- Jewel tones like emerald and burgundy
- Earthy neutrals such as taupe, cream, and rust
- Unexpected pairings like deep teal with burnt orange
Pro tip: Incorporate metallic accents in copper or gold to add elegance and warmth.
Nature's Bounty: Floral & Foliage
Let the season's offerings take center stage in your décor:
1. Mix fresh florals with dried elements for texture
2. Incorporate foraged leaves, acorns, and pinecones for a natural touch
3. Use seasonal fruits and vegetables as unique centerpieces
From dahlias to chrysanthemums, autumn's blooms offer a rich palette to work with. Don't be afraid to think outside the vase—pampas grass, wheat stalks, and even pumpkins can create stunning arrangements.
Textures that Tell a Story
Add depth to your décor by layering textures:
- Rustic wooden elements for a countryside feel
- Burlap and macramé for boho chic
- Luxurious velvet and satin for glamorous touches
These tactile elements can tie your theme together, from ceremony backdrops to centerpieces to table settings.
Thematic Harmony
Autumn lends itself beautifully to several wedding themes:
- Rustic Charm: Think bronze fixtures, wooden crates, and vintage barrels.
- Bohemian Romance: Pair enchanting linens with fall florals for a free-spirited vibe.
- Vintage Elegance: Incorporate antique pieces like old typewriters or ornate mirrors for a nostalgic flair.
Lighting the Way
Create an intimate atmosphere with thoughtful lighting:
- Candlelight for a romantic glow
- Twinkling string lights for a magical canopy
- Ornate lanterns for rustic charm
Consider a hanging floral arrangement intertwined with warm market lights for a breathtaking focal point.
Table Talk: Dinnerware that Dazzles
Your table settings are an opportunity to reinforce your autumn theme:
- Choose plates and silverware that complement your color scheme
- Opt for amber or golden-hued glassware for a seasonal touch
- Design bold place settings that make a statement
Remember, every detail contributes to the overall ambiance of your fall wedding.
