5 Trends for a Lovely Autumn Wedding

Autumn provides the perfect backdrop for a fall wedding, including amazing flora. With such a natural setting served to you on a silver platter, it is not difficult to host an elegant wedding in the fall. From the moment you put your invitations in the mail until you lift your glass to celebrate the nuptials, your special event can be just as classy and exciting as you want it to be. These tips will help you put together a wedding that is trendy but timeless.

1. Incorporate a family-style dinner.

If you are serving a full meal at your wedding reception, consider serving a family-style buffet with tried and true classics. Your meal should be approachable and friendly in fitting with the theme of your fall nuptials. A three-course meal offering freshly harvested vegetables makes for a delightful dinner. Consider a beef or chicken dish served alongside carrots or potatoes.

2. Send a special token with your invitation.

A keepsake, like a packet of autumn-themed seeds, provides a special reminder with your invitation. The key is to make your wedding invitation memorable and unique to your personality and style. Of course, postage can be expensive. This may be most practical for a smaller wedding or if your token is something small, like a photo of the happy couple.

3. Serve specialty drinks.

Wish everybody "cheers" with a hand-crafted cocktail that has been catered to your own personal tastes. Better yet, use flavors that keep that fall theme in mind. Who can turn down cinnamon apple or pumpkin spice this time of year?

4. Create a sparse bouquet.

Bouquets do not have to be full and lush in order to be beautiful. Lovely bouquets come in all sizes. For many couples celebrating autumn weddings, branches provide a lovely addition to a bouquet. Your fall bouquet can mirror the trees surrounding you as you get married, inviting new colors, like red, orange, yellow, and brown, you wouldn't ordinarily consider.

5. Set the table with minimalism in mind.

A laid back table setting is inviting. Incorporate your wedding colors and theme into the place setting, but keep it sparse. The earthy atmosphere of fall will blend fantastically with clean, crisp tables.
