Need a little style inspiration for your fall wedding? Design an elegant fall wedding that pays homage to the season with some of our favorite new ideas. , It’s all about texture, deliciously rich colors, glamorous touches, and a few elements that say “fall”.
1. Textured Linens
Tablecloths in tactile, visually intriguing materials like quilted or ruched silk, linen, or velvet. Use fabric with a crimped look or multiple textures, or layer two tablecloths, sheer velvet on top of taffeta for instance.
2. Bright Accents
For an of-the-moment look, mix subdued neutrals with surprise pops of bright color. One stylish bride ordered custom-made napkins in natural linen with magenta silk undersides, which peeked just slightly when they were folded on the table.
3. Seasonal Napkins
Tie them with a small bundle of millet or a crab apple accent for a fall feel. Look for inexpensive seasonal napkin rings at places like Crate & Barrel or Pier 1. You can also make your own napkin bands using velvet or grosgrain ribbon.
4. Fall Aisle Style
Add a seasonal touch to your ceremony by using shafts of wheat or bunches of grapes as aisle markers. It’s harvest season in the vineyards, so say your vows under a pergola covered with grape vines.
5. Metallic Details
Metallic accents continue to be huge, from classic silver and gold to more unexpected (and fitting for fall) pewter copper and bronze. Mercury glass vases will add glamorous pops of silver to cocktail tables and centerpieces. Gold and silver leaf accessories will liven up any table or place setting. Beyond vases, think napkin rings and framed photos telling the story of your relationship.
6. Dramatic Glass
Black glass or crystal will add a fashionable and unique touch to tabletops as onyx crystal goblets or vases. Fill the vases with champagne-colored flowers to heighten the drama.
7. Classy Chandeliers
Add flair to any space with chandeliers. Consider a modern piece dripping in Swarovski crystals, or vintage varieties filled with candles.
8. Indoor Foliage
If the weather requires you to stay indoors for the reception, but you want to add a natural element, rim the room with potted deciduous trees showing off their most electric fall colors.
9. Fall Gobo Effects
Another way to bring the season indoors: Illuminate the dance floor or the ceiling of a tent with a branch pattern and warm amber light. It will look as if the early evening sun is streaming through the trees.
10. Mood Lighting
By using LED light fixtures, you can easily change the mood for different portions of the party. Start cocktails with a sunny effect; move to pink and purple sunset tones on the walls and ceiling during dinner; and then slowly morph into a deep blue with white “stars” as you and your guests take to the dance floor.
