Designing Your Own Autumn Ceremony & Reception
With all of the fall elements right at your fingertips, creating a fall-themed wedding will be easier than you think. I’ve been to countless weddings of all shapes, sizes, and themes where I’ve gathered a plethora of DIY wedding ideas. The best part of do-it-yourself weddings is that your guests will leave feeling as though they know you better. Before you know it, pieces of you will be sprinkled throughout your Fall-themed wedding.
Fall Décor
Take your fall wedding theme all the way down the aisle. Find piles of fall-colored leaves and place them on the aisle and around the entire ceremony area. This will add color and depth to the aesthetics of your ceremony.
Halloween is a perfect holiday to grab ideas and themes that can add a fun element to your wedding. Pick out pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and colors and place them on tabletops at your reception, throughout the ceremony space, or both!
Invitations and Stationary
Get crafty! Make the most of your fall wedding theme and pick out paper, stamps, and card décor at your local stationary or stamp store. At these stores, gather ideas from the pros who can guide you when creating your design.
Flowers
Keep those creative juices flowing and hand pick your own flower arrangements. Choose fall flowers, (roses, orchids, hydrangeas, tallow berries, lilies, and chrysanthemums to name a few), for your bridal bouquet, the bridesmaids' flowers, flower girl, and the groomsmen boutonnières.
Now that you’ve scratched the surface to create your very own fall themed wedding, look around you for even more fall wedding ideas. If you run out of ideas or inspiration take a step outside and use nature as your muse!
