More Fall Wedding Ideas :)

Only because I found a few more fall wedding ideas that I just loved so I couldn't help but want to share them with you.

As I said before I am a total sucker for gorgeous archways. Now including pumpkins and leaves as decor can go overboard or look too fall to be elegant or more halloweeny than wedding but this leaf archway with pumpkins lining the walkway is just right. It is gorgeous and elegant and I would love to walk through it as a bride. It is a perfect background for gorgeous pictures and pretty enough to make guests think it is a picturesque fall wedding.

I am also a huge fan of big dramatic florals that make a statement. I love the piece at the top of this wooden canopy. The coloring is gorgeous fall colors, huge and perfect for ceremony. I can just picture a bride and groom underneath. I think that the wooden canopy also helps sell this because it makes a decor statement. This is a total must do.

Now favors at a wedding are a point where a bride and groom can be completely unique. I love to see all the cool ideas that they come up with. Edible favors are ones that never go out of style and guests typically really enjoy. When having a fall wedding you could include these favor ideas of caramel apples or individual s'more ingredients. They are both thoroughly delicious and still connect with the fall theme. I would love to see some of your fall wedding favors so if you have pictures you would like to share you can send them to me.


I saw this picture and absolutely fell in love with this reception. I love how there is a whole canopy of  twigs, leaves and flowers with tons of candles along farm style tables. It is gorgeous. My only qualm with it is the floral centerpieces along the middle of the table. I think it would have looked better with a whole bunch of small vases with florals rather than what looks like potted plants. I do love the tons of candles on the table as well as the ones hanging. This picture kind of shows the ambiance that candlelight can create in a space. Overall this is an excellent way to create an outdoor wedding.

I hope that you love these ideas as much as I do and that they help inspire you for any fall event you might be having. As always if you have any questions or just want to share you can facebook message me, comment, tweet me or email me. I would love to hear or see any of your fall ideas!

Fall Wedding Ideas

Fall is officially starting so I figured that I would share some fall wedding ideas that I am in love with. There are quite a few ideas from paper goods to decor to florals you can place a touch a fall in so many ways. Depending on the style, what concepts, your colors and your location, determining what fall touches to add to your big day is key, you don't want to over do it but you don't want to not add enough either. So let's talk fall.

One of the most liked ideas that I have had on my pinterest page is one of a tent with twinkle lights, varying levels of centerpieces and candles adding extra ambiance. Since weather is always questionable in the fall then having a tent is a nice way to have an outdoor wedding without worrying about problems that bad weather may cause. Adding material and twinkle lights to the top of the tent turned this into a more elegant affair. When deciding on your centerpieces you want to make sure you have a visual of the entire space and think about how your pictures will turn out. I love the way that varying heights in centerpieces looks but it isn't for every style or for every bride. When deciding on florals make sure that you get the most bang for your buck. One of the reasons I love Marci from Entwined Design is that she understands the whole picture and does her best to provide you with an overall look and concept. She goes above and beyond and provides all of her brides with incredible florals. She is honest and will tell you if something will look good or not. When picking a vendor make sure that you connect with them and you like what they are selling you.

 
One of the things I love is the use of lots and lots of candles. It provides extra lighting and creates a warm and inviting ambiance to the space. Not to mention everyone looks good in candlelight.


I saw this picture of these gorgeous red trees used for ceremony decor. I love the coloring and the way it screams fall.
I am sucker for gorgeous archways. I think the use of them is fabulous for ceremony. Here is an example of curly willow and twinkle lights which flatter the bride tremendously.


A trend I have noticed is the "Falling in Love" banners for fall weddings. It is awesome to include banners at weddings as well as leaves as decor as long as they are used wisely. Over the dessert area is a perfect place.



Using leaves as your place cards or using them on your paper goods are creative and excellent ways to incorporate fall into your design without going over the top.


Hope that I have helped inspire some creative new ideas for any of your fall related parties. If any of you have ideas, suggestions, questions or are looking for an event planner, feel free to comment, facebook message me, tweet me or email me at caringexpressionsgiftbaskets@gmail.com.
