Fall Wedding Venues Created by Nature

Fall wedding venues are inspired by Nature herself as she helps you create the perfect décor and ambiance for a wedding just by picking the perfect location.

• If your wedding is later in the year and you haven't yet booked your venue, some ideas for wedding venues that are decorated by nature are wooded parks, vineyards, old churches, meeting houses, and even farmhouses and barns.

These structures are oftentimes nestled among nature's most beautiful locations with trees and flowers and shrubs that provide autumn blooms that can't be recreated in retail stores.

• Add some pumpkins or corn stalks along the walkway to the ceremony location, add some vines and golden florals to an arbor or archway and you have have a beautiful setting for saying your vows.

• Find a location with a small creek or stream nearby and take a nature walk down the aisle by way of a tree lined wooden pathway or covered bridge.

The ideas and options for fall venues are unlimited, as is Nature's way of providing its beautiful season colors for decorating.

Fall Wedding Decorations

While the basic fall colors theme can stay the same, your decorations can also include seasonal holiday themes added to your table decorations.

• Use holiday theme ideas for your fall wedding decorations and incorporate ideas like decorated pumpkins, colored corn, squash, flower petals.

• If your wedding is close to Thanksgiving, place little pilgrims or turkeys around the table.

• If your wedding is earlier, closer to Halloween, place little decorated pumpkins or jack-o-lantern candles at table settings.

Or keep your decorations beautifully simple and seasonal by using Nature's own autumn goldens, oranges, bronzes and greens with leaves and flower petals sprinkled around the table.

• Have vines filled with dark grapes, leaves, foliage and flowers on a arbor or over an archway. Stalks of colored corn and straw bundled together add a flair to church pews. For an outdoor event, place them aside your walkway on the way to your altar.

• Colorful table decoration ideas with a fun slant can include little pumpkin men with hats and big flowers, or little wooden shoes filled with decorative flowers or colorful squash.

Whatever your decorating ideas are, the season itself should stimulate anyone's imagination.

Fall Bridal Bouquets

With the autumn season Nature gives us fall wedding flowers full of rich colors and an opportunity to include creative and woodsy ideas into bouquets such as seed pods, hypericum berries, ryegrass and bittersweet vines.

Or create a simpler bouquet of one or two long stem blooms then wrap the stems in copper wire and finish off with ribbon, lace or tulle.

Because there is no right or wrong bouquet style, you can do whatever you want to create your perfect bouquet.

Fall Wedding and Reception Flower Arrangements

Create colorful and vibrant centerpieces and other flower arrangements from a variety of seasonal flowers in bloom including orange and burgundy roses accented with holly and irises.

Your wedding arrangements can also accent small pumpkins gourds, or squash or they can be the main part of the arrangement accented with ornamental berries, dry grasses or leaves.

Festive and Elegant Fall Wedding Favors

If you use your imagination for your fall wedding favors, you can come up with really creative ideas for seasonal or holiday favors like leaf or pumpkin shaped bookmarks in golden, orange or brown.

• Fill little pumpkins or horns o' plenty with candy corn and fall colored candies, then wrap them in tulle or organza bags.

• Set a small candy or caramel apple at each place setting for an added festive dessert.

• Place setting name tags can double as festive table decorations by using tealight name place holders at each place setting.

Because of the autumn season's colors and holidays, wedding favors don't have to be expensive to look expensive.

Beautiful Fall Wedding Cakes

The autumn season with its rich and vibrant colors lends itself to creating stunning fall wedding cakes, whether you decide on a simply decorated cake with just a couple of tiers, or a lavish several tiered cake.

• Use an ivory frosted cake with beautiful beads and golden leaves coiling up and around the tiers.

• Use a rich chocolate frosting with golden and orange leaves and edible colorful acorns sprinkled around the layers.

• Use a white tiered cake with colorful beaded leaves adding a simple but elegant design to the layers.

• Have a wedding cupcake tree decorated in the luxurious browns and tans of the fall season.

Because of the naturally bright colors of the autumn season added to the season's holidays, decorating ideas for these seasonal wedding cakes are limitless.
