Add a Bit of Fall Flavor to Your Wedding

If you’re putting the finishing touches on your fall wedding, there are still plenty of ways to incorporate seasonal flavors, colors, and themes throughout your celebration. Whether you’re tying the knot indoors or outdoors, doing DIY decor, or still deciding on food options, adding a little fall twist is a unique way to make your wedding stand out.

Wondering how to add seasonal elements into your wedding this year? Check out these seven fall wedding trends that are fresh, fun, and easy to incorporate into your upcoming celebration.

Outdoor Toasts

As your wedding day approaches, if the weather is looking cool and breezy, you might want to turn to the great outdoors as a backdrop for part of your celebration. Chat with your venue to see if there’s a spot you can do a quick outdoor champagne toast or end of the night send off.

If you’re still looking to book a place for a wedding welcome reception, the night before, or an after party, search for venues with outdoor options. That way, you can tap into the nice seasonal weather.

Dark Cooler Palate

Autumn weddings often tap into hues of red, orange, brown, and green. But this fall, a lot of couples are going with a color palate that incorporates darker fall colors.

In fall of 2023, couples are turning toward colors like hazel, golden brown, eggplant, and dark blue to decorate the venue and include in their floral arrangements.

Bridal Gloves

Bridal gloves are a popular accessory this fall season. Adding on silk or lace gloves for the ceremony and cocktail hour is an easy and unique way to elevate your bridal look.

Plus, since the fall season often brings cooler temperatures, wearing gloves might help you feel warmer for the outdoor moments without requiring you to put on a coat or alter your dress.

Cake Toppers

While other seasons can often influence the style and flavors of the wedding cake, we’re seeing caterers integrate big and bold cake toppers as a way to enhance the cake design this fall.

You can add a fall twist to your cake by adding a topper that’s made from dried fruits or flowers. Or you can even go bold with sparklers as a cake topper, incorporating the fall gold colors and giving your cake a bit of a shine.

Dried Flowers

Since the summer and spring season are known for fresh blooms, fall is the perfect time to have dried flowers as part of your arrangements and decor.

Some popular dried fall flowers to use include baby’s breath, pampas, burgundy Italian ruscus, and blue chino’s globe thistles. You can use these dried fall flowers to decorate around the venue, for your centerpieces, and even for bouquets.

Early Ceremony and Late Party

In the fall season, the days get shorter, which means there isn’t as much daylight. If you always dreamed of having a brighter ceremony, you can consider adjusting your wedding timeline.

That way, you can host the ceremony with more sunlight and have the changing color of the trees shine in photos. Guests can have the day to themselves and prepare for your night-time celebration.

Detachable Details

If the fall weather seems to be fluctuating and you’re not sure if the outfit you picked out will be a good fit for the celebration, speak with your designer or tailor. Ask for detachable details to be added to your look.

That way, if you think you’ll be chilly during the ceremony or cocktail hour, you can add on detachable sleeves or a detachable skirt to your outfit so you can remove them before the party starts.
