Dear brides, grooms and friends,
Many struggle in their journey to plan that perfect fall wedding, after all planning a wedding takes much organization and attention to details. Today I will give you some ideas to make the process easier for all you fall brides.
When picking colors for your fall themed wedding consider such colors as burnt orange, yellow, brown, red, eggplant and even gold. Don’t be hesitant to go for these rich colors and don’t feel the need to incorporate each of these colors into your design. Consider pairings like eggplant and gold or brown, orange and red.
When choosing fabrics go for seasonal-colored linens and velvety fabrics. These can be incorporated into all aspects of your wedding from velvety textures in your invitations(as seen above in picture; email jmweddingcreations@gmail.com if you are interested in this invitation) to gold linens at the reception.
When trying to decide which flowers to use, go with in season flowers not only because they are cheaper as a result of not having to ship them from overseas but also because they add to the décor of the perfect fall wedding. Consider such flowers as coxcombs; red, plum or orange dahlias; roses are always good; green and purple hydrangeas and sunflowers. Also try and incorporate seasonal non-floral accents like Hypercom berries, lotus pods and fiddlehead ferns to name a few.
Bouquets can include a variety of these flowers and should be densely packed and have a stem covered with ribbons.
When it comes time to choose the perfect bridal gown, don’t worry brides, there are lots of styles and fabrics to choose from. Consider such styles with bustled trains, corset style bodice and trumpet and mermaid silhouettes. These styles combined with fabrics like sheer chiffon, Chantilly lace, taffeta and tulle will accentuate the body and keep all eyes glued to the bride. Incorporate some pleated ruffles and petite bows for extra glam and play with the idea of bold necklines. Use light wraps to complete the look.
When it comes to the actual wedding, it is okay to have the ceremony outside, especially around the month of November with the leafs colors, but an indoor reception is an absolute must. Use tall reception pieces for a classic fall look or alternate between sort and tall pieces for a more formal look. Have fun with bold looking vases; do not limit yourself to the classic white or crystal vase.
Of course food is another important aspect of the wedding. Try using soups and seafood starters instead of the traditional salads. A fish mousse or crab bisque is sure to please your guests. If you do decide to go with the traditional salad, try adding some seasonal accents such as roasted walnuts and pumpkin seeds. For the main course choose between entrees with filet, roasted chicken, salmon or even a rack of lamb. For the deserts go with seasonal favorites like caramel-coated apples or cinnamon sticks.
The cake is another grand piece of the reception. Try using seasonal flavors instead of the classic white cake. A pumpkin cake with cream cheese or spice cake with blackberry filling is sure to please the pallet.
All of these ideas can be incorporated to give brides and grooms the perfect and awe-inspiring wedding they’ve always dreamed of. Send an email to jmweddingcreations@gmail.com with any specific questions you may have on this topic.
