Putting Together the Perfect Open Air Autumn Ceremony & Reception

Out of all the seasons, autumn offers the richest color pallet and an element of transition that can feel nothing less than magical. The great aspect of having an autumn wedding is that the season itself will help you with all things décor, venue, and more!

Venue
Capitalize on this breathtaking season and hold your autumn wedding outside. Make sure you choose the perfect location and take advantage of the autumn leaf colors on elms, maples, oaks and birches. Consider exploring public parks, orchards and vineyards. Turn to your community for venue outdoor wedding ideas.

Cold Weather Comfort
Make sure to rent plenty of gas patio heaters to ensure your guests are comfy cozy throughout the special occasion. Keep your guests smiling under a rented tent—it can come in handy in case of rain, heavy winds, or low temperatures. If you have access, use fire pits. This will accentuate the autumn vibe, and will give your guests the opportunity to roast marshmallows!

Outdoor Wedding Decorations
There are so many gorgeous autumn color combinations to choose from, it’s unlikely your décor will be anything less than stunning. Classic and natural autumn décor will fit into any fall color pallet you choose. Explore various shades of yellow, red, orange, gold, and cinnamon; they will lead you to the perfect décor pieces and vice versa. For example, if you decide on specific orange tones, you can find pumpkins that match and place them throughout your ceremony and reception areas.
