The fall wedding theme provides a vivid and thoughtful experience
for all those attending the wedding ceremony and reception. Fall is a
time when deciduous leaves decide to change colour and drop them,
providing a rich and colorful backdrop theme in which to celebrate your
wedding day.
A little planning and creativity will go a long way
in creating your own stunning fall wedding idea comes to fruition. Your
fall wedding theme planning will start from deciding what colour palette
you will be working with for your wedding attire which will also
determine the color for the wedding decorations. As part of the wedding
theme thought process you can also tie in the food, the entertainment,
favors and the location of your wedding ceremony and reception as part
of the fall wedding theme.
The wedding experience all starts from
the wedding invitation that the guest receives from the couple being
wedded. To welcome them into your wedding theme - think about
typesetting the wedding invitation in your fall wedding theme. Invite
them to become a part of your fall theme and to attend your wedding in a
fall themed dress.
Fall Wedding Theme Color
What do
you think first of when images of fall fills your mind? Feelings and
past memories that you evoke through this process could be and should be
a part of your fall wedding theme. The images of harvest and
preparation for the coming winter - the memorable changing color of the
leaves along a Maine highway or Washington state - or any other location
you've got deciduous trees on hand.
Your colour palette for your
wedding would work around the color generated by the changing color of
leaves as the tree loses its leaves. The wedding theme colour would
consist of rich golden to yellows, brilliant reds, browns, burgundy and
eggplant. Other colour you may like to consider are other shades of red,
oranges, rust pastels, wine, navy and mustard yellows - all the
different shades of colour of Fall. There are so many different colors
to choose from - the difficult part is in finding the palette you love
and limiting your choices.
Fall Wedding Locations
You've
chosen to hold your wedding during the fall season and have decided to
take on the wedding theme to play out the theme of the season. You plan
to decorate and to work fall color around your wedding.
Another
way to accentuate your theme is to introduce a location that promotes
your theme or provides a blank working space with which you can work to
decorate around.
Sure you can hold it in a church and decorate
your theme color around that but have you considered other options? How
about a wedding in the great outdoors where all the smells and color are
all there for you and your guests to experience? You could hold it in
the back of your home, at an arboretum (a greenhouse), your local
gardens/parklands, vineyard, golf course or at a farm.
Decorating your Fall Wedding
So
you have the color you want to work around with in your fall theme
wedding - the next step is to plan out how you can incorporate this into
your theme. Remember to think big - and that even the smallest ideas
could have the biggest effect in the impact of the theme. Keeping it
simple is also best.
Here are some simple ideas to get you started
on your way to planning out how you will decorate your wedding
according to your theme. At your ceremony the most simple but effective
decoration could be your pew or seat bows which could be made of ribbons
in the color you've chosen from your themed palette.
Your flower
arrangements, in decorations around your wedding ceremony or reception
and your bouquet would also reflect the color of your theme. Your
wedding dress and the attire of your guests, groomsmen and maids would
also reflect the color of fall. You may also consider decorating the
wall with grapevine wreaths to celebrate your theme. Candles and
candleholders would also be a nice addition. And at the reception at
your fall themed wedding you may want to decorate each table with a
centerpiece celebrating your theme.
With this centerpiece you may want
to fill a bowl or glass with a combination of color that screams fall
such as dried fruit and nut offerings mixed with herbs and dried leaves
or dried bouquets that evoke the feeling of the season.
With a
well planned wedding theme your fall wedding will be a memorable event
that would remain the talk of the town for some time.
