Planning the perfect autumn-themed wedding? Here’s your ultimate guide—from décor to bridal and groom gifts—all wrapped in cozy, rich fall charm.
🍁 1. Choose Your Colour Palette
Autumn weddings shine in deep and moody tones:
Jewel hues: burgundy, emerald, aubergine
Earthy neutrals: terracotta, mustard, deep orange, rust
Experts also suggest brown, gold, and ivory for a classic late-fall look (thegartergirl.com).
Venue & Attire Tip
Barns, vineyards, lakesides, forests—each setting pairs beautifully with this palette. Just keep guest comfort in mind: provide heaters, blankets, or a backup indoor space
🍂 2. Décor & Ambience
Bring fall indoors with these standout ideas:
Pumpkins: Use minis as table accents
Natural centrepieces: Mix foliage, pomegranates, dried leaves, and candles in wood or metallic tones (shelterness.com).
Foraged installations: Create dramatic hanging installations using dried leaves and seasonal flowers.
Cozy nooks: Velvet seating, wood signs, warm rugs, lanterns—add lounge areas for atmosphere .
🌸 3. Seasonal Florals & Foliage
Use blooms like dahlias, mums, marigolds, and leucadendron; pair them with autumn branches and berries for texture
🎟️ 4. Invitations & Paper Goods
Set the tone with jewel-toned stationery, metallic inks, and botanicals. Think copper ink on ivory stock or emerald foliage pressed into your invites (paperlesspost.com).
🥧 5. Menu & Favors
Serve up autumnal delights: mini pies, spiced drinks, caramel apples. Use edible favours as décor stations too .
💡 6. Unique Activities
Ask guests to play games with autumn-inspired branding, create photo backdrops featuring cornucopias, harvest signs, or initials intertwined with leaves.
📋 7. Planning Tips
Weather first: Cover outdoor areas, lease heaters, offer blankets.
Off-season perks: Enjoy easier bookings and lower rates when choosing a fall wedding.
Three-colour rule: Stick to three main hues across décor, prints, flowers .
