Ideas for your Fall Wedding

Fall weddings are especially romantic, full of jewel hues, changing leaves, and chilly nights. If you plan to host your fall wedding celebration outside to enjoy the crisp air and fall foliage, check out our list of outdoor fall wedding ideas. 

Offer quirky seating options: Switch up traditional chairs and seating options during your ceremony and reception in favor of comfier seating arrangements such as pillows, blankets, and quirky vintage furniture. 

Embrace outdoor views: If you’re saying “I do” in the great outdoors, pick a backdrop that captures the fall season in all of its golden glory. Once you’ve found the perfect spot, you can make it wedding ready with a simple wooden arch – add fall florals for extra elegance. 

Play lawn games: The summer heat is gone, so celebrate with good old fashioned lawn games! Depending on how much space you have, you can set up bocce ball, croquet, corn hole, and other games for your guests to enjoy during the cocktail reception hour. 

Set off smoke bombs: A new photography trend that is picking up steam in the wedding industry is the use of colorful smoke bombs. If you love this ethereal look, talk to your wedding photographer in advance to see if you and your wedding party can do something similar. 

Mix in textile patterns: Embrace handmade textures during your wedding ceremony and reception for a boho-chic fall vibe. A great way to incorporate textile patterns is by laying down rugs along the aisle or in the ceremony area. 

Make sure to have a rain plan for your fall outdoor wedding so you can celebrate no matter what the weather is that day. One great rain plan is to rent a wedding tent or book a venue that also offers indoor ceremony and reception options.
