Due to the weather, you may need to cover up, but you can keep it cute while at it. Wear a glittery jacket over your gown and look hip, with the chic vibes. You may also ask your girl gang to show up in every trendy fall color you can think of. They can show up in jewel fall tones like sapphire, ruby, and emerald. If earthly tones appeal more, there’s taupe, orange, burgundy and more.

Food is probably the most important item for every wedding reception. So, go in the season by parading pumpkins, turnips, sweet potatoes, squash and the host of them. Do not leave out seasonal fruits which include the ever-abundant pomegranates, apples, pears, and cranberries. They combine to make a rich menu for food, cake flavors and toppings, decor enhancements, and edible favors.

Fall wedding reception ideas for the cake are tilting towards the rustic end. But bakers are getting more creative nowadays. We see finishing like rough buttercream icing, dazzles or ganache caramel or no icing at all. This gives us cute naked cakes adorned with fall fruits to give the rustic vibe. They range from pomegranates to figs, and sometimes, an addition of jam filling. For the fall season, flavors include chocolate for earthly tones, gingerbread, apple spice, and pumpkin-spiced cakes.

During the fall, the best favors are edible ones. For the place setting, the perfect favors are the seasonal pomegranates that give color. You can also go for mini donuts, candied apples, hot chocolate cones or local honey bottles. Not forgetting pie on a stick and maple syrup. They’re perfect to take home for guests.

For the perfect fall wedding decor, take into advantage your surroundings and embrace the colorful foliage. Maximize all the transiting colors and textures of fall. Coordinate fresh foliage into the decor like centerpieces, escort cards, floral arrangements, and the altar. Make a party of rustic elements for tablescapes and place cards. They blend organically into the environment while making a statement impression.

Due to the weather, which is stable but could be cold. Seating arrangements are one of the most important outdoor wedding ideas for fall. It is not enough to just provide chairs, especially for an outdoor wedding. Comfort is paramount for guests, hence you must keep them warm and cozy. Layout blankets and throw pillows on the chairs for guests.
Farm to table

With all the nourishing produce in season, a farm to table menu would not be out of place in the fall wedding party. Make a go for it by creating your own wedding market. Display all the menus for the day by naming the market after your wedding hashtag or initials. You’ll find it to be a stunning backdrop for unique photos. And when the day’s over, they can serve as practical favors for guests.

A great autumn wedding idea is the usage of a simple seasonal bouquet. Not only do you get to save so much, but the simple, and light bouquet also makes an impressing statement of freedom. Carry only one flower variety such as marigold, tied together with coffee brown ribbons. You can get creative and do it with wildflowers tied together with dusty blue ribbons. Another option is Dahlias.
Signature cocktail

For every wedding, there is a signature cocktail. And for fall weddings, apple cider is the seasonal favorite. You can perfectly lace it with rosemary or cinnamon spice. But, the idea is to make it match with the wedding decor. So, fill them in chic minimalistic vessels for the bar. It leaves the space uncluttered and bright.
Rustic accents

Incorporating rustic accents into your wedding are one of the most creative fall wedding ideas trending. To expertly introduce them, set up an arena of mismatched yet cohesive tablescapes. You don’t need to go hunting in the market. Use your home collection of vintage china, wildflowers and wooden chargers. Put on the perfect finishing by leaving with bandana toughly tied in knots. The idea is to find unity in chaos.

This wedding theme idea for fall can be easily incorporated into the menu cards, centerpieces, and place settings. For centerpieces, combine rich greenery with burnt orange bloom for fiery earth tones. Print out the menus on turquoise dream chasers and set them on bright green cactus.

Arguably the best wedding theme to come out of November wedding ideas. It is perfect for the lounge where everyone will gather for cocktails. Use velvet burnt orange chairs and coordinate with some pillows. For table decors, create an organic fall look by installing foliage over the head table. For the altar, match foliage flowers on the wall to copper-toned chairs. All these cohesively combine to give the fall vibes.
