Fall weddings set the scene for the perfect combination of romance, elegance, and natural beauty.  For those of you planning a fall wedding, I’ve compiled a list of top themes, ideas and tips for fall weddings:

• Locations: old churches, apple orchards, vinyards, or even an old barn
• Colors: Jewel tones will add elegance and aren’t too bright or dark.  Warm rich colors, as well as metallics, also look great at a fall wedding.
• Decorations: corn, pumpkins, wheat, feathers, acorns, cornucopias, apples
• Linens: Try textured linens in off-white with your wedding colors as accents. Or experiment with a touch of velvet.
• Table Decor: Rather than many small items, try decorating your tables with several large, dramatic props, like large pillar candles
• The dress: Off-white is very common.  Rather than a highly-embellished gown, go for a simple soft satin dress.  Gold embroidery or other small touches will add elegance
• Food:  Heavier meals are more common.  Don’t feel like you are stuck with turkey and mashed potatoes, though.  Try beef, venison, or any other main dish that will pair well with hearty side-dishes. Harvest vegetables also make a nice touch.
