Fall Wedding Faves
September 11, 2024
As we move into the end of summer and beginning of fall, with pumpkin spice lattes and Halloween decor in every store, what better time to talk about fall weddings? Fall is now the most popular time to get married, followed by more traditional summer weddings. Here we’ll list some great fall wedding ideas, themes and more!
When in doubt, go for burnt orange
Fall weddings are cozy and colourful! The popular and huge burnt orange and sage green trend can really be showcased this time of year. Burnt orange bridesmaid dresses, bouquets and decor really add to the coziness of the season and, let’s be honest, it looks amazing!

Many people also like going for a fresher look for fall weddings. You don’t have to be limited to the different oranges and yellows usually associated with autumn weddings. Trying different greens, light blues, reds, and purples also looks stunning.
The weather is just right for outdoor venues
Some people just aren’t fans of the heat, and others love the changing colours of the leaves. Fall really has something for everyone! Check out some local venues in your area that may have rustic outdoor settings for weddings. You can also use nature’s best season to be your decor and keep it simple, using your backyard or a local park. Make sure to have a backup in case it rains! Cooler evenings mean you can incorporate blankets and a bonfire.
Have fun with your decor
While summer weddings are often adorned with large floral arrangements and flowing fabrics, fall weddings are more earthy in nature. Bouquets can be paired with pinecones and pumpkins, tables can feel homey with many kinds of candles, and of course, lots of rustic wood pieces like barrels, crates, and wagons.

Halloween… Enough said.
Other than pumpkins and crisp air, fall brings Halloween! It’s probably one of the most fun wedding themes! This is also a great time for people who want a darker wedding. Want an excuse to wear that gorgeous black wedding gown? This is the ultimate season for it. Not to mention darker dresses really contrast well with traditional autumn colours.

Food
The options are nearly limitless for a fall wedding. Think Thanksgiving. Appetizers can include hearty butternut squash soup or bisque. Mains/entrees that do well are rosemary-seasoned meats like pork or chicken. The best part of a fall wedding meal is the desserts! Pumpkin pies, fall-themed cupcakes, spiced cookies, caramelized apples, s’more-themed confections, and so much more! It’s a dessert lover’s dream.
These great ideas are just a starting point. You could incorporate all or none. It’s a magical time of year; enjoy the warm days and cool nights and put the finishing touches on your fall wedding plans!
