There are many exciting choices this offers that would not be normally available during other times of the year. You are now able to use bolder colors and bring a new atmosphere of warmth and energy only this time of the year can provide. The fall season is one of transitions so why not celebrate the biggest transition of all during this season. Here are some great ideas and suggestions to help you as you plan your fall wedding whether it is outdoors or indoors.
First think about the location where you are holding the wedding. If you are in an outdoor location you will need to make sure that environment is comfortable. This can be a challenge especially in the cooler months. To deal with the cold, use patio heaters strategically placed around the seats and altar. If you are holding the event indoors check that central heating is not an issue and if it is, make the necessary arrangements. Also when choosing a location for an outdoor fall ceremony try to find a place that serves as a great seasonal backdrop. Great choices are a public park or golf course. Since this theme has to do with nature find the best examples nature in the fall to be setting for your exchanging of vows.
The next thing to focus on is the decorations for the ceremony. For an outdoor wedding the location plays a major part in this aspect. The rest of the decorations you use for seating and the altar should center on the scenery. You can take a page from outdoor weddings in warmer months. Use seasonal arrangements of flowers and foliage in arches near the altar or location where you will exchange vows. You can also decorate the seats of those attending them by having them painted in fall colors and decorated with seasonal motifs. Then of course there are the aisle markers. You can do a lot of different things. You can use small bouquets of seasonal flowers and foliage, pumpkins, or sheaves of harvest grains. For the indoor ceremony your goal is to bring the season inside. Do this employing a lot of seasonal foliage and harvest grains to decorate the sanctuary and altar. Also go for scented candles that come in fall fragrances.
Finally there is the reception. This can also be done in doors and out. A great suggestion for an outdoor reception is to use tents for the festivities. Once again use space heaters and patio heaters to keep everyone if the weather is cool. Make it a fall picnic scene with all the attending decorations and seasonal imagery. If you choose an indoor venue you just repeat the same design cue for the indoor ceremony. Use fragrant fall foliage to decorate the walls and the entrance to the reception location.
In either an indoor or outdoor wedding reception it is important to think about table decorations and wedding favors.
