Hoping to plan an autumn wedding that expresses your deepest desires and most personal visions for matrimony, but not sure where to start?
Not to worry — you have plenty of company. And this article will quickly help you on your way.
Finding your Personal Autumn Style
Many articles recommend starting your planning by picking your wedding colors. But how? Well, maybe you could just choose your favorite color (unless your fiancé happens to hate red), check your daily horoscope (oops! No color advice, dang!), or take a poll of your bridesmaids and see what they feel like wearing.
You could do any of these things, but they're likely to end up unsatisfactory ... because they won't express your inner vision for the wedding as a whole. So try this: try to find your wedding dress before you move on.
For many brides, there's only one wedding gown that sums up their deepest feelings about what kind of bride they are. They may not know it until they wear it, but when they do, the recognition is instant.
As often as not, this gown ends up communicating a distinct feeling that will help pull the rest of your wedding together. A beaded ivory gown in raw silk looks splendid with English cottage style flowers. A diamond-white A-line with a couture feel will look at home among modern colors and designs. But more than how it looks, focus on how it feels. Vintage? Queenly? Minimalist? Eclectic?
Where to Hold your Fall Spectacular
No matter what your style, one thing you're likely to share with all other Fall brides is a love of the outdoors. So, you might find your perfect setting in a vineyard, a park bristling with old oaks, a delightfully ramshackle New England barn, or a parent's backyard. But even if the reception takes place in an uptown loft, you'll want to capture the season's unique scents and colors wherever possible ... especially in the photos!
What Type of Fall Bride Are You?
Fall brides come in deliciously different flavors. Let's look at three that we'll call New England Classic, Regal and Contemporary (though of course you can mix and match).
New England Fall Style
If New England style describes you, you probably dream of white, steepled churches and fiery oak and maple leaves. Your wedding look is country casual, and your toolbox holds the natural materials of fall farmer's markets. Your bridesmaids might wear hunter green, apple red, ecru or umber gowns with long sashes and a big bow in back.
When it comes to flowers, your bouquet might sport dahlias, Leonidas roses, mini-callas in rust, gold and red, mini sunflowers, chrysanthemums, spider mums or gladiolas. You might also see woodsy accents like wheat or rye grass, hypericum berries, blackberries or heather. You might also have maple leaves wired right into your bouquet — a distinct and totally tasty look. Chances are, long ribbons dangle romantically from the bouquets.
But what about the cake? Perhaps you'll set out several homestyle flavors: carrot cake and spice cake, for example. Or, you might serve up a classic white confection with a waterfall of autumn-colored gum paste leaves or flowers.
As for decorating, New England brides have the best of all worlds. It's simple (and cheap!) to take spectacular fall materials and turn them into a stunning celebration. Hit up a farmer's market, and you've got corn stalks for posts and barn doors, bushels of apples to carve into floating candle holders or use as place card holders, grapevines for church door wreaths, and pumpkins and mini gourds to scatter along paths or stair steps (carve these with your monograms, or turn each pumpkin into a letter, such as L-O-V-E). Pumpkins also make wonderful vases for floral arrangements. Wishing trees, where guests write blessings and well-wishes for the future on paper leaves to tie to a 'tree', are popular features.
Other ideas: tuck a sprig of wheat into a linen napkin and tie with raffia for an elegant look. Clump pillars of vanilla or cinnamon-scented candles in strategic spots to treat your guests to autumn's scents. Serve colorful fruit punch and iced tea in big, old-fashioned canisters. Hand out sweetly nostalgic favors, like mini honey jars with a wooden dipper, or caramel apples.
Also, switch out leaves for summer's rose petals at every turn. For example, dress up the arch or chapel, pews and chair backs with leaf garlands, found at any craft store. Have your adorable flower girl scatter leaves down the aisle before you make your grand entrance. You can even decorate entire tabletops using loose leaves (real or silk) as a table runner, punctuated by romantic votives.
Regal Fall Style
If you're more of a Regal-style bride, your look could translate just as well to winter.
Your gown might have deep red detailing at the neckline, sash or train, and your bodice might involve gold embroidery. And your bridesmaids'? Crimson or claret, with a bit of sparkle worked in.
When it comes to flowers, you'll probably focus on sculptural red and white classics, such as roses and stephanotis, made even more formal with crystal bouquet picks. Or you might choose the eye-catching drama of red and white tulips.
As for the ("let them eat") cake, yours might be tall and white, with red roses or satin ribbons at the base, and monograms in the fondant or the topper. And likely as not, a towering chocolate fountain will draw guests like bees to honey in the corner.
When it comes to decorating, you'll probably stick close to the classics. Crisp white chair covers with red or crimson sashes set a stylish tone in your balllroom. Many of your centerpieces will probably be floral (and elaborate), but hurricane lamps filled with white pillar candles and dramatic red cranberries remind your guests of the season. Your favors might be pewter leaf ornaments in a bright red gift box.
Contemporary Fall Style
When it comes to tradition, a Contemporary bride usually winks. If this is you, your main hue might be chocolate brown with an offbeat accent, like purple, aqua or chartreuse. Or, your flowers might hint at fall, but consist of less conventional blooms. Your bridesmaids might don chic black gowns — which not only reportedly take off ten pounds for the camera, but (bonus!) serve as a backdrop to eye-popping bouquets. You're more likely to turn to metallics than autumn standards like orange and red.
Popular fall flowers for contemporary brides include peach and coral roses, gold and mango mini-callas, pincushion proteas or chocolate cosmos. You might also like bittersweet vines, and exotics like orchids and red anthuriums. And for extra interest, lemon leaves and eucalyptus, copper wire accents or bear grass wraps, and fiddleheads or feather collars. You also might use hints of lime green, such as button mums and chartreuse roses, or fuchsia in the form of roses and callas.
And your cake? It might be a complex creation turreted with chocolate curls or ruffles, framing layers of glistening red fruit, like cherries or raspberries. Or, a dark chocolate cake, or alternative desserts like pies or pumpkin cheesecake.
Finally, you could get pretty eclectic when it comes to decorating. There's really no telling, but guests might find humble burlap linens under pin-tucked copper table runners, complete with silk tassels. Your centerpieces might involve leaves, but in an unusual way (for example, silk leaves submerged in a modern clear canister, filled with water). You'll probably group enormous numbers of white candles and votives for a modern — yet completely autumn — look. Centerpieces might sneak in anything from miniature green apples to succulents with the flowers. Favors could be unbleached earth-friendly favor boxes filled with bright candy corn.

I’m getting married in October 2010 and I’m not sure what to use for my colors. I was thinking about a dark brown, burnt orange and maybe gold. Maybe throw in some red somewhere.. Any thoughts on this? I thought the bridesmaids could wear dark brown with orange or gold accents? Does anyone have any suggestions for flowers and centerpieces? I like stuff that is out of the ordinary or different - so feel free to brainstorm =P
cyndey,
and how creative and unique? thanks!!
great!! i always ask what the venue looks like so i can get ideas rolling. i was wondering if you have a pic or a link? what type of setting; what feel? rustic or elegant? a little of both? waht formality? fall weddings can be a little tricky when giving ideas, unless i know if its rustic etc. i dont wanna pull the wrong ideas!!
I’m not sure yet about where I would be having it, but I’m thinking about having the ceremony outside. And I wanted it to be a little bit of both rustic and elegant. And as to creativity and uniqueness - I don’t know, just any ideas would be appreciated.
We’re just simple, down to earth folks…and we’re getting married on a very limited budget - so that we can try to have that dream of a honeymoon-
Getting married October-
Ideas that we have been discussing-and things that we plan on doing for our “Fall” wedding-
tying pine cones on the pews with ribbons instead of bows…
My boyfriend is going to cut a piece of wood from his farm-(he is a logger) for our cake to be placed on-and he will “finish” it so that is safe of course,
the maple branches in Mason Jars on the tables with raffia around them,
Mums at the front of the church for decorations-then donated to our church afterwards-
laura,
my “late” father was a logger and when you mentioned a logger in the post and what you were doing; i loved it. LOVE all your ideas!!!!
So I have an idea for table centerpieces….just looking for some feedback/ideas/ways to improve it!
(getting married 10.01.10)
I saw this idea in a magazine a little while back….
You take a medium-sized pumpkin, paint it either white, brown, red (whatever color you choose) and then stencils on some designs in a different color (flowers, etc.). I was going to place the pumpkin in the center of each table and surround the pumpkin w/ votive candles. NO FLOWERS! I’m not a flower kind of girl….
thoughts? should the pumpkins be placed on something so that they are a little higher up than the candles and the candles don’t cover them up?
amanda, just sit pumpkins on table not elevated and surround with candles. beautiful idea. think about adding mini pumpkins to the mix. like a large pumpkin and 2 small. always keep the number of items in odd and not even. it has a better appearance!
Im getting married october 20th 2010 and im so stuck for colours i was thinking celadon would be great for my girls dresses but i also like red and a burnt ogange. people are telling me that celadon will look good and others say bad and i know its my day but im nervous i want everything to look nice. im handing out favours of chocolait truffels with a ribbon wraped around them and i was wondering if i should stick to the colours of my girls dresses or should i do more of a fall colour. i have no clue what to do for center pieces.
im going with a fall&wine theme is it ok that i have wine glasses on y invitations instead of leaVES or should i stay with leaves
HELP :)
ashley,
celadon will look good but the only problem is it is a hard color for most brides to pull off so is burnt orange. i am betting red will be your best bet cause most skintones look great inthis color(use a deep red). for the favors, just carry their dress color into the ribbon. that would be beautiful. use the colors inthe bouquet agaisnt the red with assorted colored faux grapes it would be WOW!! i dont think i would choose the wine glasses for invites. why not choose the vineyard decor? it has all the right colors mixed with wine theme. think faux grapes mingling with grape leaves. have the flowers in fall colors( google image fall wedding bouquet). the best ideas i have found was google imaging vineyard wedding then vineyard wedding board. also google image grape wedding ( grapes would look so good on your invites) and can you imagine grapes spilling over the sides of a rustic metal urn? marry under a grapevine arch with grape leaves( which also turn colors in the fall so you would still get that nice fall color) and faux grapes cascading down?!?! you can even reuse these in decor inyour home after the wedding!! also google iamge grape theme wedding. let me know what ya think!
I was suppose to have a fall theme wedding this year, but my brother-in-law ended up being deployed to Iraq unexpectedly, so we decided to now have the wedding in March on my grandmothers birthday. The other problem I am finding is that I decided not to get married outside but in the Saint Francis Chapel at the Museum of Man in Balboa Park with the Reception at the Prado in Balboa Park, both are in San Diego. I would like to stick with the fall colors that I have chosen which are burnt orange, wine, espresso, and harvest gold. All Alfred Angelo colors in style 6455. Will these colors work?
catherine,
or even vineyard. this is gonna be so gorgeous!i dont know what color you want to use for your linens. But if you want it warmer i would suggest keeping them gold or beige, but i white will make it look vibrant and happy, add lots of viney greenery to the mix. think also seeded greenery, which is stunning in arrangements.
yes it will work and beautifully, i might add! but instead of fall it will look tuscan, so if anyone asks you can tell them that!!
*Tuscan Vineyard Wedding
I was supposed to have an October autumn wedding but had to move mine to March! I’m still going to use the fall colors….maybe just choose a few brighter shades. I had already purchased lots of items. I think it will still be pretty. The main thing I’m having trouble with is centerpieces! A friend of mine suggested just say the theme is “fall in love” - it’s a cheesy, but cute idea!
My daughter plans to wed in Nov 2010 and wants to do a fall wedding. Her future husband is a Marine. They will be married outside under a tent with chanderlers. Bridesmaid color will be navy blue. We are having a hard time on what her centerpieces will look like. She will have an intimate ceremony, white table cloths. Also, need help with bouquet colors. We want to to incorporate candles, dazzlers, mirrors, and fall items if possible. please help. thank you
hi rose,
i was thinking why not have fall colored centerpieces or cream colored or apricot colored roses nestled among maple leaves? it will be simple and elegant. also consider having maple branches in urns placed within and around the room. for bouquets consider this beauty(pic) actually you could do these colors. it would be very soft and romantic but seasonal would be breathtaking against navy. or you could have bouquets like the pic, with the bride carrying a white bouquet. and have the bouquet colors intertwined with a mix of deeper colors.
Rose:
Go to wedding websites like theknot.com and Brides.com - these websites allow you to try different color combos and they often suggests color combos that must people don’t think about doing together. I think a Navy Blue w/ a green apple color would look great (My fiance has a tie w/ that color combo and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!) Or possibly a Navy Blue w/ a purple (not a dark purple though) and champagne
:o) Amanda
Hi I’m getting married the first week of November of this year, I’m a little lost with colors, my wedding is set to be at 6pm at church and then after a banquethall. I’m a big fan of lavender, but also like green(jade) burnt orange and champange colors. What could you recommend me to use for the tables, the bridesmaid dresses and the flowers. I want something stylish and unique. Let me know if you have any ideas.
thank you,
yeli, i was unsure whether you wanted the lighter jade or darker, the closest pick i could find is in clover ( for the darker) at davids bridal.these are the colors i see with a champagne backdrop, and simple tangerine and aubergine centerpieces the lighter shades like the lavender can be in small areas like the cake etc.(as in pic) i wanted to find a way to incorporate all of these. i would keep the only in the dresses and let the other colors be for the decor. i will post the pics with both colors so you can see which you like. i thought if you added the aubergine in the mix, it would be fallish. also you can darken the orange in bouquet to a deeper shade and would be beautiful too.

*Purple & Gold
*The Stylish Fall Bride
yeli, here is the other combo with a lighter green dress color. the board pic i posted would be the main colors. forgot to mention the purple shades with the champagne as backdrop in previous link. if you want to add even more fall items, consider leaves. this will make it look like an enchanted forest in fall. if you dont care for all the colors i would with the lavender and purples (purple and gold link). plus google image aubergine wedding (the results are gorgeous!!)
Hello!

Autumn Wedding by guccilovexo
Hey! I have a question and I have so many factors that play into the scenario that I need major help. I’m getting married 10/10/09 and I’m having a formal a.m. wedding. I’m wearing ivory and my fiance is wearing a gray morning coat tux. I have no idea what to do with my bridesmaids!! I want to stay with the fall colors without clashing with the gray and ivory. Also, one of my bridesmaids has bright orange hair so I need something that is becoming on her. btw, I’m not a pink person. any suggestions??
nikki, have her go to the bridal salon and have bm try on dresses, i think the brown and grey with ivory and autumn colored bouquets would work perfectly and i think it would be quite stunning!! i can’t find the post but a brown suit with a silvery grey vest and tie is stunning, its still in the grey family and not so different it wouldn’t blend. i promise it looks good!! classy!
* Autumn Elegance candle ( choose these type colors for flowers and tie with silvery grey ribbon) set these colors with silver cutlery and ivory and candlight on brown tablecloths and you have got a gorgeous wedding!!
* Yahoo Answers: Wedding Colors the compliment red hair?? Help please~?
hi, i am thinking something like earth tones. it will go great with grey afterall grey is a nuetral now. i think brown would be elegant, nothing in brighter color range. its a classic an can be worn again on lots of occasions,
* Color Week: Gray & Brown ( it would look great with vivid fall flowers set against it!!) have gm wear a rich cocoa brown with more of a silvery grey vest and tie!! i think it would be awesome, so rich looking!! if you dont like this then try putting her in a olive or sage green, another great color!! have guys in a darker grey tux, with the olive or sage ties and vest, would be fab!!
* Gray (and Orange): Reader Board #10
* Coco + Kelly Finalist! (gray, white, eggplant and touches of mocha)
( you might even try plum which goes amazing with grey, if its rich enough.
Go to David’s Bridal’s website. They have this program on their website that allows you to “dress” your wedding party and see what color combos look good. You can build your own wedding party (hair color, height, etc.) and try on differnet color dresses and styles……….just something to fool around with!

Is mid to late October too late for tea length bridesmaid dresses? I love tea length dresses, and the wedding/reception will be inside, but I don’t want it to be out of season. Thoughts?
Hi Cassie! What are your bridesmaids wearing (colors) and what are your overall colors? I think this could work but want more specifics!
Cassie — check this out doesnt it look perfect for a fall wedding? tea length dresses after some research is more comfortable and perfect for a october wedding!! go for it!! i wouldnt let fashion rules dictate my beautiful wedding!! i love tea length dresses and are so much more versatile and wear again friendly!!
i have seen lots of fall weddings with shorter dresses on bridal websites.
I love that gown, that color and the chandelier earrings david’s bridal suggests with it for a fall wedding! I think a bright peppy color in tea-length would look very summery, but in a dark plum like this the look is just CHIC.
I think tea length is perfect! My Wedding is in October as well and I am requesting that the girls wear tea length - they can pick the style of their dress as long as it is chocolate brown and tea length………plus they can wear it again for something else - getting dresses that go to the floor limits them in wearing the dress in the future.
oooh my gosh , Iam not even ingaged ,not even seen any one but just in aawe .one day god will bless me . I so decide that I love the fall.and I would love to have a fall theme wedding. So much and all of everybodys themes and tips are wonderful. sweet.
heh brides having a fall wedding. i saw good housekeeping mag. for this month and i saw the best centerpiece idea!! you take small pumpkins and secure a lamp glass globe on top using floral pins to keep it from falling off and set a votive in it for candlelight. it was the greatest. i will see if i can find it online. if not ya’ll rush to the magazine rack and check it out. also in this month’s southern living mag. they have a beautiful outdoor party with outdoor fireplace. it it sooo nice.
Hello!
I am getting married 10.01.10 (far away - I know!) The girls are wearing choclate brown. My colors are chocolate brown, green apple, plum, and splashes of orange - what do you guys think? For the ceremony we are getting married outside and decoratign it w/ pumpkins, mums, and tealights. I don’t want to go crazy w/ the whole fall -theme but I need some ideas for centerpeices!! The recpetion site is all dark wood w/ a huge fireplace and neutral colored walls.
Any suggestions would be helpful!!
amanda, those colors will be beautiful…what a good ideal!
Amanda,
I as well am doing a fall theme and for a center piece I decided to do three tierd piller candles. One brown (tall) red (med) and orange (small) and setting them on a bed of leaves with acorns spread around (which makes it cheap because if you live (ANYWHERE) around a tree with acorns you can bribe some kids with ice cream and get them to collect them for you =0) Hope this helps!
Thanks for the idea! I LOVE candles (the fiance, not so much). I found a bunch of websites that sell wholesale candles and glass containers (since all the venues around here require the candles to be in a glass container). I was also thinking about getting a pumpkin and hollowing them out and placing flowers in them - but I don’t know if they will hold up throughout the night
Amanda what is also cheap and goes with the fall theme instead of buying glass holders if anyone like yur grandma or mom does canning you can put fall scented votives in mason jars and tie fancy ribbon or raffia around them and if you don’t know some one they are also pretty cheap to buy like $7 for a dozen. At many craft stores they sell stryro foam pumpkins that look real so we are buying them and then you just stick the flowers in them instead of dealing with the mess of hollowing them out. For candles you can also find lots for sale on ebay for cheap. If you go with real pumpkins they should be ok through the night though and you dont really have to hollow them out to putflowers int he just cut the top of like you would to carve a jacko lantern and the seeds/guts will helop in supporting the flowers you do put in it. Hope this helps.
Hi girls, another idea for decorating your tables affordably. One of the best things for adding drama to CPs is height. This makes even simple centerpieces look great.
So (and I don’t have perfect pics for this, please bear with me), see how the cake stand in the first pic is draped with a beautiful copper organza? Try this with your CPs. Put them on a cake stand you’ve draped in fall-colored organza. Then, over the organza edges at tabletop level — which really creates a focal point on the table — you can arrange votive candles, maple leaves, peach colored rose petals or scattered rhinestone diamonds. Pick a fabric with a little shimmer so you can really take advantage of candle light, lamps etc.
What to put on the cake stand? Lots of great ideas brought up on this board! Pumpkins filled with mums, pillar candles in hurricane stands wrapped in grapevine, fish bowl with floating candles. Almost anything will look good.
If you’re thinking, “great, but I don’t have 20 cake stands for my tables,” you can make them, CHEAP. All you need is epoxy glue, a base and a plate. Hit thrift stores! Clear glass candleholders make good bases, so do some glass cups. Plates can be anything, but choose solid white, glass or crystal to go under the organza. Beyond that, it won’t matter if they match closely since they’re under fabric.
This cake plate process is pretty self-explanatory, but for pics and a few more instructions, see “How to Make a Vintage Cake Stand.” You can have some GREAT cps this way for little cost. Stage some trials … share the pics! HTH!
A great base for the “cake stand” is simply a wine glass turned upside down. Also - on your food table Kandy Korn makes great confetti and doesn’t get int your food. If you are using scented candles at the ceremony that’s great. But don’t use scented around the food. It can ruin the taste. Don’t forget to think about grapes and grapevines for added autumn fun.
Hope this helps you. Cheers!
I also forgot to mention that at party city and on ebay I found floating candles in the shape of maple leaves.
I seen these center pieces that would be reat for you colors/theme, They twere round glass cylinders/vases that I have seen at hobby lobby for cheap. They were then filled with granny smith green apples and had flowers stuck in the tops you could put purple and orange flowers in there. If you got the cylinders big enough you may even be able to put small pumpkins in them and you could also swap out or alternate the flowers for votive candles on top, just to set a romantic mood. Hope this helps. Also if you didn’t want that big of center pieces you could hollow out the center of green apples and put votives in the middle making them votive holders, this can also be done with small pumpkins and they are supper cute. Hope this helps!
( check this wedding out!!)
you could go with flowers or fruit or even both. i love the idea of edible fruit centerpieces. you could even have fave sweets in fab containers in center of tables, surround with flowers at base, mix in grapes and other fruit for decor(i would go with fake for this one)
Kathy & Matt, September 27, 2003, Andover, NJ
( this is beautiful too!)
also think about glitter fruit it is beautiful!!
What if you bought tube-like cylinder vases (Walmart has them for less than $3 each) and placed water inside and a floating candle on top? Then, get a medium-sized pumpkin and cut out a whole in the middle, large enough for the vase to fit inside? Adorn the area around the hole with fall leaves, acorns, whatever, just so you don’t see the ugly hole cut. It gives a really cool effect. We do this on our site with top hats and it works wonders! If we can help in any way, let us know.

A BARN WEDDING!!
Hello everyone, I have been putting my wedding off for awhile now just because its too stressful.And I didn’t know where to have it. But my boyfriend and I decided to have r wedding in my parents big, old, red, hay barn. and we’re using the hay for sitting!fall pumpkins, apples, blankets, a fire. The Works! What I grew up with.
Hi everyone! My fiance and I just (and I mean like 5 minutes ago) finally decided on our colors! We were going to do a July wedding (we are both teachers and didn’t really want to get married during the school year) but we both really love autumn and decided to go with an October wedding. The colors that we chose are truffle (from David’s Bridal) and a burnt orange. The girls will be wearing truffle dresses and carrying orange flowers and the guys will be in brown tuxes, with ivory shirts/vests/ties and orange boutonnières (my guy will have a white boutonnière). For our centerpieces, we are going to use hollowed out small pumpkins with flowers in them and have small bowls with candy corn and caramel hershey kisses in them! I’m so excited that we have finally made these decisions… it took forever for us to agree! Any suggestions for flowers would be amazing!
