Fall Wedding Decorations - Colors, Ideas and Flowers

There are lots of different fall wedding decorations around, so much so that really you're spoilt for choice. Leaves, fruit, sheaves of corn and candles are just some of the ways that you can decorate your fall theme wedding.

The colors are warm and rich with reds, oranges, browns, yellows, gold and greens being perfect hues to set the tone for your fall wedding.

Flower ideas for fall wedding decorations

First and foremost, think about your flowers. Typical flowers that are in season (and therefore cheaper) are hydrangea, roses, calla lilies, gerbera daisies and sunflowers. Hydrangeas and roses come in a wealth of different colors so you can be sure that you'll match your wedding colors.

If you can't find the colors you're looking for, consider silk flowers which will give you a wider range of colors to choose from.

You don't just have to go with fresh flowers. In this season, dried flowers look equally as nice and can make fabulous garlands, confetti and table decorations. Perhaps mix and match the types of flowers you use (dried and fresh) to create unique decorations.

Also think about where you're placing your decorations. You don't just have to choose the usual places of tables or free standing decorations, you can also think about placing your arrangements at floor level in baskets, on windowsills and over doorways. Fall wedding flowers work particularly well when used in baskets, as garlands or wreaths.

Seasonal fruits

Fruits are often used as fall wedding decorations. Vine leaves, bunches of grapes, apples, oranges and berries are frequently used in flower arrangements or simply on their own. When they're dried, they work particularly well with dried flowers and really bring the season to life.

Bowls of fruit, either whole or cut up would also look great at table centerpieces or just as decorations around the room. Alternatively, you could use wood, plastic varieties or candles.


Soft and subtle lighting

For me, evenings in fall need to be cosy and warm. The nights are getting darker and the days cooler, so there's nothing better than being snuggled up inside with soft lighting and a fire. In your venue a fire might not be possible, but you can certainly make the most of soft and subtle lighting using your fall wedding decorations.

Candles, and plenty of them, will look great in any venue. Whether you use candelabras, tea lights or candle based lanterns, the soft light from the candles will bring in that warmth. Paper lanterns also create soft lighting and readily available in a variety of colors. Either hang them outside or bring them inside for delicate lighting.

The great thing about a fall wedding is that it's easy to co-ordinate your colors, wedding décor and favors as there is so much choice and the colors all complement each other so well. So don't be afraid to mix and match – this is the perfect season to do it.
