The summer wedding season is slowly coming to an end, but autumn weddings are on the rise. Think crisp weather, brown and orange colour schemes, and cosy wedding receptions. In today’s post we’re sharing some of our favourite autumnal wedding ideas.
The Ceremony
Some people think an autumn wedding means that you are limited with what you can do for a ceremony, but there is actually lots you can do. Outdoor ceremonies are not off limits, marquees and canopies are a great idea just in case there is rain. You can offer your guests blankets on every seat to give your wedding a cosy touch.
Why not opt for a ceremony at dusk, for the most ambient of lighting for your wedding photographs.
The Theme
Autumn weddings are great for a rustic or woodland wedding theme. Think tree trunks for centre pieces, leaf place makers, and an autumnal bloom bouquet.
The theme can start from the invites, right through to the reception venue. Hall Farm in Norfolk is the perfect choice for a rustic wedding, in a secluded part of the Norfolk Broads. The venue boasts a licenced barn and an outdoor area underneath the treetops, both perfect spots for an autumnal wedding.
The Food
Autumn is the season of comfort food, so real hearty food such as stew or pie with seasonal vegetables. There are lots of treats that will be perfect for an autumnal wedding. Toffee apples, apple pie, or salted caramel cookies are great ideas for sweet treats to keep on-theme, and keep your guests feeling full.
If your wedding is close to Halloween, why not put together some sweetie bags for your guests so they can feel like big kids again.
So that’s our picks of our favourite ideas for an autumnal wedding, there’s so much you can do at this time of year.
