I'll show you how to carve a pumpkin... and make autumn compositions for decorating the hall. I'll show you how stylish arrange an outdoor wedding. You'll see beautiful fall wedding photo shoot ideas... and more.
So let's get started.
Fall Wedding PHOTO Ideas…
Autumn kiss against the background of yellow dry leaves ... The angle of photography can be very different.…
You can just toss the leaves up... You can kiss in the rays of the low sun, breaking through the lacy canopy of autumn trees... Or whirling in a dance against the background of fallen leaves in the frame taken from above.
The view from above is also good for shooting a bride with her head thrown back ... piercing blue eyes and contrasting yellowness of autumn leaves.
Or it could be a September photo shoot against the backdrop of ripe apple branches ... Wedding pictures taken THROUGH the autumn foliage look beautiful.
Bridesmaids look beautiful in autumn style - orange-ocher dresses, with bouquets of autumn leaves ...
Autumn itself will tell you - how to take a beautiful picture ... how to organize a space for a photo session ... The main thing is to open your eyes, look around and the thought will come ...
AUTUMN BRIDE BOUQUET - from the leaves of herbs and flowers.
A bridal bouquet in autumn should be made from autumn flowers and leaves. Forget about the ever-fresh floristry imported from Holland's greenhouses.
Leaves and flowers are classics of the genre ... and there is nothing new here. And here is the idea to make a BOUQUET FROM DRY BRANCHES, CONES - this is already something original. Cones are woven into the bouquet with a drill and wire. A through hole is drilled at the base of the cone - a wire is threaded there - and on the wire, like on a stalk, the cone enters the bouquet.
Autumn BRIDE HAIR - with flowers and leaves
The bride's hair can also be decorated in an autumn style - make a wreath or an ekibana from autumn flowers and leaves.
Or gently weave single flowers into the curls and curves of a bridal hairdo.
For guests also possible prepare wreaths or hoops with an autumn kibana tied to them. Such floral hair ornaments will appeal to all invited girls ... besides, it will look beautiful at a photo shoot.
DECORATION for the bride - for the autumn wedding.
The autumn image of the bride is incomplete without decoration in the decollete area - there should be decoration in the autumn range too.
You can look for a unique and exclusive necklace in stores ... or order from beaded needlewomen.
Here is such a (photo below) chic to necklace in the technique of BEAD EMBROIDERY I found it on the Internet (on any beading site you will find a girl in one evening who will gladly agree to make you such a necklace for your wedding ... (they like to make to order ... when I was fond of beading, I regretted that I didn’t have anyone in mind with wedding ... so I wanted to weave something for the solemn occasion ... so that everyone gasped ... Such work will not cost as much as you think ...
You can try to make a necklace yourself from the wrong large rhinestones - just sew them on a dense felt base ... or fasten them with special fastening hooks (everything you need for work is sold in hand-made stores).
Here's another idea leaf and epoxy pendant … A small autumn leaf is filled with EPOXY RESIN ... and preserved inside resin as inside glass. Very pretty and very simple.
Epoxy resin (or epoxy glue) is sold in any household department - this is usually a set of 2 jars - in one powder, in the other liquid ... you put it together, you get this kind of resin. You can put anything inside it (beads, leaves, flowers) and everything will be like a living thing.
And here are the ideas felt or fleece jewelry - beautiful decorations ... Also for an autumn wedding ... for a bride or a bridesmaid ... And you can do a lot - for guests ...
So ... we decorated the bride for the autumn wedding, now let's ennoble the territory ...
Ideas for WEDDING DEVELOPMENT - in the yard.
If the event is planned to be held partially outdoors- then you need to figure out how to decorate the yard for the wedding. For this I have a special article "- there you will find a lot of ideas
And here I will show additional thoughts. Look what an interesting composition you can make from an ordinary pergola-gazebo .. and two old doors ...
To make it clearer to you, here is a top view - and we see that the path to the gazebo lies through the WEDDING PORTAL. How do you see, doors don't fall due to the fact that they lies the board. By the way, the board is better nail to the end of the door leaf- I would not want her to collapse on the head of a spree guest.
We decorate the top board of our portal with flowers and leaves. If you do not want these kibanas to cost you a pretty penny, you can make an analog decoration from dry leaves - a GARLAND - and put it on the top board of the wedding portal.
(A garland of dry leaves is easy to make - if ... tie the tails of the leaves with threads (or wire) to a long rope. We lay this rope on the top board. The rope is not visible from below, but the pile of dry leaves lies beautifully and is not blown away by the wind - which is what we need. co
Can you come up with other wedding portals in autumn style… If you already have a pergola on the site, then you will need fabric and floristic material – long branches and flowers…
Here's another one low budget wedding decoration idea.
Tapes can be bought immediately in reels on the market (it is much cheaper than buying by the footage in the store)
Beautiful wedding COMPOSITIONS for an autumn photo shoot can be formatted differently.
It can be a retro car decorated with autumn flowers and leaves.
It can be bales of straw ... a tablecloth thrown over them, arranged candlesticks and laid out pumpkins and a mirror with a congratulatory inscription ...
By the way, you can collect more of these bales to seat all the guests.
We decorate a wedding in AUTUMN STYLE with CANDLES ...
And, of course, candles look very beautiful at weddings ... and in this topic, you also need to come up with an autumn-style design.
The colors of autumn are yellow and red - so a great option to put in jars SECTIONS OF YELLOW CANDLES(cut a long candle into low pieces) and all this on red ribbons(We tie the rim of the can tightly with wire - and fasten the tape for it).
Or find ROUND FRAME(a rim from a barrel, entangled with wire ... or a wheel from a bicycle) - we hang it all on a HOOK - we cover it with leaves and dry flowers ... we arrange cups with candles.
You can put candles in jars not on the bottom ... but bury them in a decorative FILLING made of natural material... for example acorns, chestnuts, leaves, peas, beans, flower heads, rowan umbrellas (left photo below).
And you can also alternate hanging candles-jars with hanging jars-vases with fresh flowers (as in the right photo below)
You can DECORATE glasses for candles - in the autumn theme. Tie around them dry or bright leaves, herbs, bunches of flowers ...
And you can also use FLOATING CANDLES - immerse them in wide bowls ... and decorate the containers themselves with shrubs, berry branches, etc ...
Compositions where several candles are made TOGETHER look beautiful and saturated ... This way they give more light - this is important for photographing the bride and groom without a flash in the soft light of candles.
Candlesticks OWN HANDS to decorate a wedding.
You can also make wedding favors from candles and flowers. MULTI-TIER COMPOSITIONS. Like in the photo below and to the left ... where are the small jars with candles hang from the branches of a wide bouquet ... and between them still hang crystal pendants... and all this flickers and shimmers with the reflections of fire ... just like the very surface of a crystal vase sparkles.
Or you can do it with fewer colors (as in the photo below to the right) - where it was made TOWER OF GLASSES AND MIRRORS… You can make it with your own hands very cheaply ... you can order such round mirrors at glass cutting points - bring a large mirror to them (buy it in a store for $ 7) ... - they will cut 2 circles out of it for you ... And now you put on a large a circle of three inverted glasses (with flowers) ... on top of a smaller disk of a mirror ... and on it is another inverted glass with a flower inside ... and a candle on the leg of the inverted glass. Op-la, you got a very beautiful (plus very cheap and easy to implement) WEDDING ARRANGEMENT with candles ... See how easy it is to do it yourself?
And here's another idea for lighting - WEDDING PUMPKIN LIGHTS in autumn style.
We will make a backlight from a pumpkin with our own hands. It's very simple. In the pumpkin, cut off the bottom (lower part) - take out the pulp ...
And then in the side of the pumpkin we pierce the FIGURED HOLES ... for this we need sharp iron tubes ... or iron molds for cutting cookies.
If there are no molds, then pieces of metal tubes are suitable for cutting round holes ... or iron glasses-staples ... We stick a round cut to the pumpkin - with a hammer (or press) and punch a hole in our future pumpkin wedding lamp. To improve penetration, you can first apply scratches along the pressed mold with a sharp knife (or awl) - so, through scratches, it will be easier for it to pierce the pumpkin.
HOW to decorate the WEDDING HALL - in autumn style ...
Colored fans are a great idea for decorating a wedding. If they are made from paper of autumn colors - yellow, orange, red, brown ... then it will turn out very beautiful. In the photo below we see purchased Japanese fans ... But why spend money - if you can do it yourself ...
Here in the photo below we see an example of how wedding FANS FROM PLAIN PAPER with your own hands...
The secret of the round shape lies in the fact that two semicircular fans are glued together in one such round shape.
The secret of openwork holes is ... that when the fan was in the folded state, one slot was cut in it through the entire accordion of the fan - through all the folds at the same time (as when cutting out a snowflake).
To save money- you can buy white office paper and paint the sheets in autumn colors yourself using gouache, watercolor or acrylic ...
Separate corner of the hall– can be arranged specifically for a beautiful INTERIOR PHOTO-SESSION… You can put a table, put on a tablecloth… curtain the window (to remove the revealing gray light of the street) and introduce elements of live lighting in warm shades (LED garland thrown over dry branches in high floor vases + candles on table).
Scatter leaves on the floor ... put a beautiful chair ... throw bright brocade or velvet on the table ... Make the table itself with dishes, vases with gifts of autumn (apples, grapes, cones, acorns, rose hips, leaves) ...
You can get a mannequin and dress it up in the image of "Lady Autumn" - as in the floating photo above.
ORANGE MOOD - for an autumn wedding ...
The whole hall (walls and lanterns) and the table itself (tablecloth, napkins, cushions for chairs) can be done in bright orange tones - under the shades of autumn foliage.
Everything that has an orange color should be present in abundance.... So we advise you to get a lot of CARROT CUPcakes (to pile them up in such a fun pyramid) ... or if you don’t want to mess with culinary pastries ... you can make this orange pyramid of SANDWICHES WITH ORANGE CAVIAR… but it will be more expensive...
Orange balloons are beautiful and autumnal. From cut crumpled orange paper you can make panicles-washcloths- stick sticks into them - and let them be an imitation of orange trees (left photo below).
Everywhere you can arrange bunches of herbs-flowers or fruits and berries in glass goblets and glasses ...
Or ... if there are not enough dishes .... Can do handy pumpkin containers. A large pumpkin will make an excellent cooler for bottles of champagne... Small pumpkins make pretty vases for autumn flowers.
Or ... scatter here and there such JEWELERY ACORNS ... They are made simply - bright beads are glued to the acorn cap. It turns out very elegant. From such jellies you can make a beautiful garland - if you string them on a string.
And you can also turn such acorns into earrings ... Or pendants ... and arrange them in NAMED BOXES - like autumn wedding SOUVENIRS as a keepsake of the holiday.
Ideas for the AUTUMN SERVING of the wedding table.
Setting the table for an autumn wedding is also an important task. And very easy to implement - fortunately, leaves, apples, pumpkins, mountain ash and needles around in abundance ... Take as much as you want - and everything is free.
Ears (or bundles of straw tied with a ribbon) look beautiful and grapes between them ... pumpkins ...
And the candles inside the iron lantern look beautiful too ... and around there are leaves and clusters of mountain ash.
So…. now we have reached one more beauty ... That without which not a single wedding decoration can do - and even more so AUTUMN ...
CAKES - REPLACEMENTS for wedding decor…
Such fake cakes are made to decorate the wedding hall ... And here I immediately picked up SEVERAL WAYS to make such a cake for an autumn wedding. You will now see that a cake-like pyramid can be made from anything ... from the most improvised materials ... from boxes ... from foam plastic ... from log cuts ... from plaster.
IDEA # 1 - cake from boxes (or foam blocks)
We take several boxes of different sizes(from under the shoes fit) and fit them with a cloth (or paste over with paper) ... white as cream. Can be used instead of boxes pieces of foam (if you have them).
On boxes wrapped in paper or cloth - we sew patterns (to imitate "cream layers" or confectionery glaze). Bright satin ribbons are suitable for this (as we see on the white and orange fake cake in the left photo below).
Can be sewn over fabric twine pattern- if you choose brown twine, you will get an imitation of “chocolate paste” patterns squeezed out of a tube.
Idea number 2 - corrugated cardboard false cake
We take ordinary corrugated cardboard (the one from which the boxes are made) - we cut it into stripes 15 cm wide... paint chocolate brown ... and these painted long stripes roll up into rolls. The lower the floor, the wider our roll should be. We fix with glue (so that the roll does not unwind). We put rolls-hanks on top of each other- I form a pyramid ... And we decorate the whole thing with berries ... leaves ... flowers ...
Idea number 3 - PLASTER CAKE-MODULAGE.
Or you can make a very beautiful autumn composition - looks like a real edible wedding cake(as in the photo below).
Here, too, pieces of foam (or cardboard boxes ... or saw cut logs) - placed on top of each other by a pyramid - the floors of the "pyramid" are glued together.
Then they plastered with plaster... Painted white acrylic paint.
Then they add to a jar with the same paint PVA glue- fill a confectionery envelope (or a paper bag with a hole at the tip) with this sticky mass - and with this acrylic-adhesive "cream" make stripes on the walls of a fake cake (as if smudges of sweet cream). After drying, autumn flowers, dry leaves and tree branches are glued to the false cake.
In the vicinity of such a stucco cake-dummy - it looks just like a real one ...
Or you can make such pyramids (instead of dummy tiered cakes) ... also very beautiful.
IDEA No. 4 - AUTUMN PYRAMID FROM BASKETS.
This is done simply. A BRICK is placed in the basket- and a smaller basket is placed on top (a brick is needed so that the baskets do not sink into each other like nesting dolls, but are in full view). We insert cones, coniferous branches, pumpkins, bright leaves and flowers along the edges of each tier of baskets.
IDEA #5 - PYRAMID FROM PLATES AND GLASSES
It is also very simple - you need 5 glasses, plates of three sizes, leaves and berries. Pour the berries into clear glasses. We put a large plate on the table - we put three glasses on it (we put leaves under the tissues, pour colored berries, acorns, etc. into the glasses themselves ...). We put a smaller plate on top of the glasses - we also lay leaves on it, put glasses with natural material - and cover all this with the smallest plate ... The top of the composition can be crowned with a box with a ribbon ... a candle ... figures of newlyweds or doves ...
And here are some more ideas for wedding crafts - which you can make yourself - to decorate the hall ... and the table.
CRAFTS for decorating a wedding - OWN HANDS.
ORANGE PEEL ROSES - and here is a master class on how you can make dry rosebuds yourself - from a twisted orange peel ... Very simple (as you can see) ... And how wonderful they smell ... mmm ...
SMART APPLES - you can make ordinary apples deliciously appetizing. To do this, we need to buy milk chocolate - melt it in a saucepan ... and it is also advisable to add a spoonful of sour cream to the melted chocolate (this is so that the chocolate retains its shiny glossy appearance after hardening).
Boil chocolate with sour cream - and then pour it on top of the apples (pre-stick the twigs-tails into the apples (so that there is something to take them for) ... then you can decorate with confectionery sprinkles ... and white sugar icing ...
And here is another fruit craft for an autumn wedding ... PEARS WITH rhinestones.
We need beautiful pears and glue rhinestones (that is, cheap sticker rhinestones from kits for children's art - they are sold separately in stalls).
PUMPKIN Craft - for the design of the autumn wedding. It is done very simply. The leaves will stick better if they are scalded with boiling water - then dried (so that they are not wet) and glued onto ordinary pva glue.
PUMPKIN CARVING - this is also a simple matter - we make a drawing (for example, we circle a maple leaf) - then we make notches with a knife according to the drawing - and then we cut off the peel inside the notched area.
HAY CANDLESTICK it is done very simply - I’ll tell you now ... We make a sack out of paper - i.e. cone (like a bag for seeds, or like a hat for fairies) - we fasten the sack with glue or a stapler. And now we need hay and gray thread. We apply bundles of hay to the sack and wrap it with threads. Then we wind an ordinary LED garland on top of such a hay sack (I also fix it with gray threads) ... and we also wind small portions of hay on top of the garland. Don't worry, the LED bulbs don't get hot at all when lit - and the hay won't catch fire. Then you can take out the paper bag - and the hay cone will still keep its shape.
BALLS WITH LEAVES . We often see such balloons at weddings - and usually they are covered with rosebuds. But the theme of our wedding is autumn - so we will paste over them with leaves.
To make such balls with our own hands, we need a foam blank (sold in craft stores) ... or an ordinary CHILDREN'S BALL ... we smear the ball with glue and stick leaves on it in a chaotic manner ... or cones ... or acorns.
Here are more DIY ideas for a fall wedding - a frame with leaves and flower balls on branches ... Now I'll tell you how to do it all.
FRAME WITH LEAVES - a very simple craft. We buy the frame in the store - we take out the glass and the background plug from it - we drive 2 small carnations into the edges of the frame - we tie a ribbon to them - and we tie the tails of the leaves on the ribbon ... (you can attach the leaves with ordinary paper clips).
A BALL OF FLOWERS is made even easier... yes, yes ... now you will understand. For one ball - we need to make 3 ordinary bouquets - from flowers and branches with short stems (the shorter the stems, the fluffier the bouquet will turn out). We pull the legs of each bouquet with twine (or with strong adhesive tape. Then we make 2 bouquets together - and they form a ball by themselves - because one bouquet already looks like half a ball ... and three are already a ball both above and below.
If you are making such a ball-shaped bouquet for a wedding - from LIVE flowers- it is important for you that they do not wither. Then everything is done differently ... we buy a piece of OASIS in the florist's shop (this is a special sponge material for flowers). We form a ball from the oasis - we stick flowers tightly into this ball .. and hang it by a thread on a tree branch and put the branch in a vase.
Or you can make a beautiful autumn bouquet…
Or an autumn composition of apples, twigs, berry umbrellas - and knead it all into a cut pumpkin.
BTW... I have special articles on the topic of such compositions (there are a lot of interesting things in the autumn style)...
You can wrap a vase for a bouquet with birch bark, taken from a birch log - as in the photo below.
WREATHS to decorate an autumn wedding.
You can make these decorative autumn wreaths - to hang it on the fence in the yard ... on the door ... on the wall in the wedding hall.
Wreaths are made in basically in two ways.
The first way is THROUGH-THROUGH STRINGING. To do this, we take a steel rod bent into a rounded shape - we punch through holes in apples and cones with a nail ... We string perforated apples on a steel rod - we close the ends of the rod into a ring - we fasten the closed ends with wire and electrical tape (adhesive tape) - and close the winding area with sprigs of needles and textile ribbon.
By the same principle of stringing, you can assemble an autumn wreath FROM LEAVES - we also pierce them - alternating leaves in shape and color.
The second way is WEAVING. To do this, first we make a FRAME - that is, we form a rounded bundle of thin flexible branches - we select long branches so that when they close into a ring, we get a rather wide wreath. To keep the branches together, they can be tied - in a spiral with threads.
And then on this frame we already wind (we tie with a thread or wire) various natural materials. Heavy objects (apples or pumpkins) are first pierced with a nail - then strung on a piece of wire - and fastened with this wire to the frame of the wreath.
Real biscuit-cream cakes for AUTUMN WEDDING.
In this article, we talked a lot about fake fake cakes for decorating the hall. And now you can look at EDIBLE confectionery masterpieces in autumn style. Basically, all these cakes are made according to the same scheme.
Three tiers of biscuit are baked - The layers are stacked on top of each other (soaking them with creams and fillings) ... Then all this is covered with layers of mastic dough ... Leaves and flowers are cut out of the same mastic dough and decorate the tiers of the cake with them.
Or you can simply cover the cake with chocolate cream ... or pour chocolate icing ..
It is on such a sweet note that I end my article ... it's time to run to school, pick up my first-grader Dasha ...
And I wish you a happy wedding ... and the happiness that follows it (in the form of little cunning children). At least for the sake of these peanuts, you can start a family life ... Children are a holiday every day ...
And also…
We have other articles on the wedding theme…

Have a beautiful celebration.
Olga Klishevskaya, specially for the site
A fall wedding, especially one held outdoors, is an endless resource of incredibly beautiful and impactful photographs. It is probably difficult to find uninteresting photos of autumn weddings, because if desired, even slushy and rainy weather can be beaten as if nature itself helped create a thematic setting for this celebration.Outside and inside
An autumn wedding in its incarnations does not have to be only in the fresh air - in a beautiful park under the shadow of falling leaves, or only in a restaurant. You can always combine or, if you wish, choose one of the above options, but beat them so unusually that this celebration will become special and completely original.
The desire to create an unusual and unique wedding is understandable. If your own imagination is not enough, then photo ideas for weddings in the fall from special wedding magazines or the Internet will fit perfectly. This does not mean that you need to repeat a more or less pretty version exactly, just looking at such pictures can suggest an idea or direction, a general style or theme, and already embody it in a completely different way than in the original, in your own way.
You can use different elements from different weddings, combining and changing them at your discretion. Photo shoots from such thoughtful and creative celebrations usually turn out to be especially bright and juicy, in particular, if not only purchased, but also handmade decor elements were used during the preparation. Moreover, autumn gives an incredibly huge variety of materials for such products.
So, for example, wreaths and bouquets, garlands of colorful autumn leaves will look beautiful. In the form of leaves, it will be possible to make wedding invitations and napkins, leaves - tablets with the names of guests can be held in toy pens by miniature men made of acorns or hedgehogs made of chestnuts. An excellent find is miniature paper multi-colored umbrellas, which can not only decorate cocktails and desserts, but also write wishes for the newlyweds on them, create whole masterpieces for photographs, which will then become worthy to take center stage in wedding albums.
Styles and trends
Many photos of weddings in the fall are held not only in the "autumn" theme, but also in a very specific style. Rural and country style is very similar to this time of the year, original - in the spirit of Halloween (with pumpkins, cardboard monsters and bats and other relevant paraphernalia), knightly and eco weddings, retro weddings with unusual car decoration, and so on.Autumn is filled with incredible shades, amazing beauty and romance, thanks to which a wedding in autumn can be turned into a real fairy tale. It is advisable to consider several design options. Then the joyful celebration will be held at the highest level without unpleasant surprises from changeable weather.
wedding color palette
The choice of colors is an important point when planning a wedding. Red-brown-gold tones are considered traditional for the autumn celebration. The game of contrasts looks quite original, stylish, attracts attention. Therefore, purple, golden, yellow tones are often chosen for autumn weddings, successfully diluting them with green, red, purple, chocolate hues.
If you want to arrange a wedding in more calm colors, then you can take green of any shade as a basis and carefully complement it with accents of various autumn tones. Also, so that the wedding design is not too bright, oversaturated, you can choose one muted color for the color palette, for example, coral, cream, beige, and complement it with two brighter ones, such as orange, gold, cherry, amber, emerald. Such combinations in the design of the wedding can beautifully emphasize the natural beauty of autumn and create a special mood.
Ideas for a photo shoot
Autumn wedding photos are very warm and family. After all, the combination of the warm colors of the season with the faces of the newlyweds glowing with love and tenderness create a special mood. Given the peculiarities of the autumn weather, it is worth planning a photo shoot both outdoors and indoors.
. Outside
A standard, often used, idea for photography is a walk through a forest or city park. A backdrop for photography in the form of a small calm pond, paths with bright falling leaves - what could be better for capturing the bewitching beauty of a young couple. The shining faces of the bride and groom look charming in the rain. For such pictures, for example, a large tree is suitable, under the lush crown of which the newlyweds can hide from the weather. Fans of original ideas can make great photos while running through puddles in rubber boots, in fields with haystacks, having an impromptu tea party in a forest clearing.
To effectively colorize the warm autumn palette, for photography, you can use objects of colors unusual for this time: purple, blue, lilac, etc. In this case, scarves, gloves, umbrellas, fans are suitable as objects. And then a cozy and calm photo session will be able to shine with new colors.
. In room
Places for a photo shoot can be very diverse: a country restaurant with a fireplace, a cafe with a beautiful terrace, an old abandoned mansion, a greenhouse. Various attributes can be used to create romantic pictures: a bouquet of autumn flowers or leaves, candles, books, a warm blanket, fur capes, wicker baskets with apples, amber beads, colored scarves, etc.
Ideas for decoration
Autumn provides an opportunity to create a beautiful and original floral arrangement of the bride's bouquet, groom's boutonniere, wedding car, banquet hall.
. Bridal bouquet
When choosing flowers for a bridal bouquet, you can follow both the yellow-red-brown range and dilute it with bright, bold combinations. The composition does not have to consist only of autumn flowers, such as asters, chrysanthemums, dahlias. Combinations of these flowers with traditional wedding roses, callas, orchids look very beautiful. The original miracle can be diluted with hops, autumn leaves, spikelets, sunflowers, marigolds.
Floral arrangements are, of course, a wide scope for creativity. If you wish to experiment, you can replace or supplement the flowers with the fruits of viburnum, mountain ash, use dried flowers, cones.
Regardless of the components of the bouquet, it is important to remember that it should complement the style of the bride and the entire wedding, and not become a foreign element. The same goes for the groom's boutonniere. To make the newlyweds look harmonious, the boutonniere should be made in the form of a miniature copy of the bride's bouquet.
. car decoration
To make the autumn wedding procession different from traditional weddings, in addition to the usual ribbons of burgundy, brown, orange, yellow colors, you can use compositions from viburnum, rowan twigs, leaves, spikelets, autumn flowers, fruits.
. Decoration of the banquet hall
With the onset of autumn, wedding ceremonies are not often organized outdoors. If you decide to arrange an exit registration with a banquet on open verandas, in a tent, a gazebo, then you should worry about comfort in case of bad weather. Outdoor areas should be covered, you need to prepare blankets for guests and heating gas burners in advance.
In order not to depend on changeable weather, it is advisable to consider universal options and organize a banquet indoors: in an original, cozy cafe, a beautiful restaurant, in a hall with a fireplace. Velvet, candles, beautiful lanterns, wooden furniture can give a special romance to the room. It is also important to determine what the accent of the decor should be set on.
The central decorative elements can be:
- Foliage. The use of the shape of the leaves can be varied: for invitations, in creating a bouquet of the bride and groom's boutonniere, in the form of napkins on tables, instead of the usual rose petals, for table compositions with flowers or candles, etc.
- The fruits of nature. Pumpkin, watermelons, melons, apples, grapes, mushrooms can be used both in the banquet menu and in decoration. Vases made of pumpkins, as well as beautiful wicker baskets filled with apples and grapes, become a worthy decoration of tables. In addition, the gifts of nature can be used as gifts for guests after the competitions.
Acorns, chestnuts, cones, jars of honey and jam, sunflowers, ears of wheat, candles of various shapes, checkered blankets can also become details of the autumn banquet hall.
When compiling the menu, it is worth considering more hot dishes. You can cook hot uzvars, warming mulled wine, hot chocolate. Since the main wealth of autumn is vegetables and fruits, the menu should include a wide variety of dishes from them.
Autumn weddings in different styles
. Rustic wedding
A natural setting, a country estate, a restaurant with a rustic decor, a log cabin, a large village house with a free outdoor area can be chosen for the wedding venue. It will be possible to hold an outdoor wedding ceremony, a photo shoot, and prepare the banquet indoors in the open area.
The palette of a rustic wedding is natural tones: green, brown, beige, yellow, blue. Bright elements of the scenery are wooden saw cuts, hay cubes, linen, chintz, moss, burlap, an old wagon, wooden wheels.
. orange orange wedding
Oranges, orange and white colors become the symbol of such an elegant and bright wedding. The bride can choose a traditional white dress, which will be complemented by orange details (belt, bow, shoes, jewelry, bouquet). The groom can complement his formal suit with an orange tie, pocket square, boutonniere.
For decor, orange and white colors are used: orange slices, a decorative arch of flowers of the corresponding tones, orange ribbons, white drapery (tablecloths, carpet, chair covers). The wedding menu can be supplemented with a chocolate fountain with orange milk chocolate, cocktails based on orange juice, fruit desserts.
. Halloween style
Choosing this style for a wedding may suit newlyweds whose wedding is scheduled for the end of October. Decor elements in this case can be candles, pumpkins, a combination of bright autumn colors with black. The bride's dress can be complemented with black elements.

An autumn wedding can be a bright event that leaves beautiful, unusual photos as a keepsake. Autumn is a great opportunity to save on many wedding trifles, because nature gives you the most beautiful things. The main thing is not to be afraid to experiment, to show your imagination.

Wedding invitations
The theater begins with a hanger, and a wedding begins with invitations. Therefore, it is very important that these cards create exactly the autumn mood with which you want to saturate the entire celebration in the end. Thanks to these invitations, guests should have a clear idea of the theme of your wedding.
To make autumn wedding invitations look stylish, they can be made in some unusual shape. For example, in the form of raindrops or leaves.
Or create wedding invitations in the form of scrolls, decorated, for example, with beautiful autumn leaves (maple, oak).
Autumn colors of postcards - gold, green, red, brown, orange. You can decorate them with images of autumn symbols: apples, pears, chestnuts, pumpkins, sunflowers, nuts, fallen leaves...
seating cards
Just like invitations, seating cards are made in autumn colors and decorated with symbols of the golden season.
Particularly interesting are cards in the form of apples with leaves on which the names of the guests are written.
Ring pads
The decor of the pillows for the rings does not stand out from the general style of the celebration: autumn leaves and fabric flowers, acorns ...
Location
Naturally, you need to focus on the weather, because in autumn it is so capricious and unexpectedly rainy. Therefore, for an autumn wedding, it is better to choose a covered space. However, it is not at all necessary that your celebration takes place in a restaurant. For an autumn wedding, a tent, gazebo or covered terrace is great.
Colors and decor
Your wedding will be truly autumn if you choose yellow, red, orange, brown or burgundy for its decoration.
As a decor, we suggest you choose the gifts of autumn nature: apples, pumpkins, persimmons, golden crimson leaves ...
wedding hall

What a magical background autumn gives for weddings: bright ceremonies, cozy wedding dinners - a dream! In our article today you are waiting for tips on preparing for an autumn wedding.
Autumn charm: pros and cons
Autumn weddings are full of warmth and comfort, nature is painted with an incredible palette that gives magical pictures for family albums. This enchanting time of the year brings a large number of seasonal fruits and vegetables, magical flowers that can be safely used in menus and decor. Sweet tables can be replaced with homemade pies and fruit tables, and gifts of nature can be used instead of flowers in the decor.
An autumn wedding is a very spiritual holiday, which nature itself helps to create. But autumn can “please” couples not only with warm sunsets and bright colors, but also with prolonged rains, or even the first snow. That is why, when planning an autumn wedding, it is necessary to take into account the possible troubles of the weather as much as possible. The site for the ceremony should be selected taking into account all the autumn nuances. If your dream is an outdoor wedding and a ceremony on the street, then the roof must be provided in any case, at least in case of rain. It could be an outdoor awning. Be sure to provide an option in case of bad weather - umbrellas, raincoats, or even another place for the ceremony: for example, a covered veranda. The most advantageous option is a semi-open restaurant hall, studio or loft with large windows and a charming landscape in the background.
For warm and autumn ceremonies, choose an original venue: it can be an old manor or a hall with a fireplace. For a banquet or a buffet table, it is better to look for cozy restaurants with a beautiful interior or spacious cottages in the middle of the forest. Pay special attention to details - umbrellas and blankets for guests, changeable shoes for walking, tents and other protection for all areas of the wedding evening: recreation areas, entertainment areas, photo zones.
Stylistics and themes
Especially interesting when preparing an autumn wedding is the choice of style. You can choose a rustic, retro wedding or vintage style, choose the charm and velvet of the classics or create an autumn fairy tale trip. Manors in century-old parks will be an excellent option for a classic autumn wedding. The interior in warm colors with bright accents, a canopy on the windows and velvet furniture will emphasize the sophistication and sophistication of the decor. For a cozy and small wedding, choose the style of travel, hunting, with animal motifs. Traditional autumn materials can easily inspire the theme of an autumn wedding: felt, yarn, wool. Checkered colors and cozy knitted fabrics will become hits of the wedding evening! Candles take on a special charm in autumn: they can also be made key elements of decor and the theme of a wedding.
The standard colors of autumn - yellow, orange and red - can be replaced by their more subtle and sophisticated options: mustard, ocher, wine, burgundy, purple, emerald, chocolate. And you can add pastel colors to them to further emphasize the depth and unusualness of the color scheme. Add gray, pink, mint, dusty blue. Do not be afraid to choose a non-traditional wedding palette - it's not just a holiday, it's a reflection of the mood and character of your couple, so let it be on top!
Images of the bride and groom
Light and flying dresses without sleeves are being replaced by more closed dresses, complex and unusual design, denser materials. Lace dresses with sleeves: long, "batwing", "3/4", inserts made of felt and even thin felt will make the dress so that it will be impossible to take your eyes off it. Instead of a long train, choose a graceful original finish on the bottom of the dress: after all, for wet autumn weather, a train is not the most practical option, with the exception of a wedding that takes place entirely indoors. If dreams of a light, flying, fragile dress with a sleeveless bodice haunt you, then take care to warm up. Autumn accessories for brides are now the most diverse! It can be a cardigan with lace trim or embroidery, a light coat, a jacket or knitted sweater, you can even choose a poncho or a warm flannel shirt, if style allows. Give a twist to your look, but don't weigh it down with fur or overly heavy outerwear. Autumn is the time for the most unusual shoes: rubber boots, ankle boots or suede shoes in bright colors are a great accent even in the most conservative look.
Autumn is literally created for men who love style and non-classical options for images: warm vests and jackets made of dense fabrics, plain or plaid, interesting patterned shirts, sweaters and cardigans, coats, colored chinos, variations with coats and, of course oh, hats! A common bow with hats for a walk will look just great!
Autumn in decor
Autumn decor is simplicity, sophistication, complexity of colors and natural materials. Branches and leaves, moss, acorns and nuts, cones and needles, vegetables and fruits that ripen in bright autumn months are used as materials. The main thing at the autumn wedding is to create a mood. Light and lighting will help convey a warm and sincere atmosphere - garlands of light bulbs, candlesticks and lanterns, candles everywhere - what a warm and bright celebration needs. Textures play a huge role in fall wedding décor. In fabrics, give preference to linen, velvet, brocade, vintage knitted lace and velvet. Tree cuts and other wooden decor elements will help create a homely mood. Compositions for tables and a bouquet can be assembled from delicate flowers: fragrant peony roses and the first ranunculi, as well as from "garden" flowers that will add charm and comfort to any decor: dahlias, asters, ears of corn and dried flowers, succulents, rowan berries and hypericum. At the ceremony and at the entrance to the hall for a wedding dinner, you can hang wreaths woven from branches and leaves, for example, at a bachelorette party. Add cinnamon, cloves, dried citrus fruits and fruits to them, and the aroma of tenderness and autumn will flow through the hall. And at the ceremony, rose petals can be replaced with autumn bright leaves.
