Autumn Wedding Decoration: Fruits, Flowers & Special Touches
Now, after choosing a color scheme, the next thing that you need to do is determine how to make sure that your autumn wedding decoration will reflect your color scheme.
Fortunately, a lot of flowers are in bloom during the fall and you can even use the changing leaves to decorate your wedding. First up, here area the fruits and flowers that you can use for your autumn wedding decoration: apricot lilies, hydrangeas, orange gerberas, rust euphorbia, Virginia creeper, red currants, apricots, oranges and apples.
So how can you combine all of these elements – the color scheme, the fruits and the flowers – to add that special touch to your wedding? Take a look at some of the autumn wedding decoration ideas that you can use:
1. It all boils down to the centerpieces.
One of the first things that your guests will notice when they sit down to eat is the centerpiece of the table. If you are getting married during the fall, there is a myriad of ideas that you can use as centerpiece.
And the best thing about it is that they are easy to assemble, and are fun to do! If you’re looking for a lovely centerpiece, use brown or rust-colored leaves and place them on a lovely bowl which is filled with water. Add a leaf-shaped floating candle and you have an adorable centerpiece that your guests will enjoy looking at.
You can also place the season’s blooms and arrange them in a tall champagne glass. You can place a hand-painted hydrangea candle right in the middle to complete your fall table arrangement.
2. Distribute fall-themed wedding favors.
Depending on your budget for the autumn wedding decorations, your wedding favors can be something which is as simple as a tin can, to something as elaborate as a gift basket full of goodies.
If you have a middle range budget, candle favors which have a fall leaf imprinted on them is a good place to start. Scented leaf-shaped soaps also make for good wedding favors if you’re getting married in the fall. Try to think of wedding favors which reflect a bit of the personality of the bride and groom, and you’re good to go.
For the reception area, you can hang a cluster of brown maple leaves in strategic places. Another gorgeous décor that you can use is a grape garland, complete with clusters of luscious grapes – real or ornamental.
Nature is surely at its finest during the fall, where you will get to witness every lovely imaginable color. So use this beauty to your advantage by incorporating the autumn theme in your wedding decoration.
