Theme your Wedding with Autumn Wedding Ideas

What do you think of when someone mentions the words ‘autumn wedding ideas?’ The smell of crisp cool air permeates your senses, the fiery and passionate explosive colours of the changing seasons is all around you, and the smell of fresh hay, warm cider and bountiful harvests are all around. Cool long nights, pumpkins and falling leaves all create wonderful autumn wedding ideas.

Ideally your autumn wedding theme should convey all of the beautiful elements that we have come to love about autumn including a classy location, possibly decorated with red, yellow, rust, warm orange - autumn coloured leaves. A gazebo (possibly at a vineyard with grapes hanging over the path) works very well as an autumn wedding idea during the ceremony. Small pumpkins work great as outdoor pathway lanterns.

Often older, 18th century buildings convey more of a rustic feeling, and can make decorating a breeze. Apple votives can be floated in rust-coloured buckets full of water as secondary lighting. Squash can be hollowed out, and bright orange plants can be placed in them to grow days before the event to decorate the outdoor areas.

For the autumn wedding dinner and reception, there are a myriad of ideas. Autumn wedding favours – the ‘Perfect Pear’, do it yourself favours for guests can include anything from homemade personalized jams and jellies wrapped with each guest’s name, pumpkin wedding favour holders. Local autumn wines and cider are a big hit at the reception, and ‘corn on the cob’ can be used for many things from food, to decorating.

With a little patience and creativity, you can make a stunning autumn wedding idea come to life. Here are some other ideas associated with autumn to get your creative juices flowing:

  • Wheat
  • Sunflowers
  • Corn and corn husks
  • Harvest vegetables and fruits
  • Hay

Remember to start your autumn wedding ideas with creative wedding invitations, and if you really want the wedding themed, ask the guests to arrive in autumn themed attire.
