Fall Wedding Ideas
I see an awful lot of questions about fall (Autumn) wedding ideas etc. I thought I would share some of mine, since I am getting married in the fall as well.
Ideas for tables......
Pumpkins with fall flower arrangements
Conucopias with flower arrangements or goards etc.
Bowls with autumn leaf floating candles
Fall garland down the center of the table, or silk fall leaves, or even fall confetti
Favors........
Foil wrapped choc. Leaves (have a website for these, cost $1.00 for each kit includes 3 leaves, bag to put them in and ribbon to tie bag with, e-mail me if you want
Maple sugar candy (done the same way as choc.)
Small bottles of maple syrup tie ribbon on handle with tag of bride and grooms name and wedding date
Small cornucopias filled with Choc., Maple sugar candy, or other candies (also have a website where you can get the small cornucopias for filling, e-mail me if interested)
Misc. Ideas, corn stalks set up around reception area, small pumpkins, squash, or other goards
Wedding Ceremony ideas, instead of having the flower girl drop flower petals, have her drop fall leaves, also use the corn stalk, and pumpkin idea at your ceremony site.
Just depends how formal you want, some people may not like to decorate the ceremony site with corn stalks and pumpkins, but I think if it is done nicely will look beautiful!!

Oh, another idea, short on money? and think filling pumpkins with flowers might cost too much? can also carve pumpkins, not in the traditional halloween way, but with wedding bells, or fall leave shapes, just draw them on a piece of paper and trace onto pumpkin, OR find a picture online you like and trace onto the pumpkin and cut it out, and then put a candle inside.
Also found a website 288 votive candles for $60.....thats .20 cents a piece, cheaper then I have been able to find them anywhere else!!

I just got married and had a total fall themed wedding. Everyone commented on how beautiful everything looked. I wanted fall but wanted it elegant and not halloweeny (not that, that is bad, but I didn`t care for it).
To begin with I picked an ivory dress(more for my skin tones than anything else)but that was the kick off of absolutely NO WHITE! We used all fall colored flowers rusts,oranges, reds and yellows. Against my dress they were stunning. For all the accent pieces, we went with ivory and gold. Flowergirl basket, ring pillow, guest book and pen all ivory with gold embroidered thread throughout. Pew Bows simple but ivory. We made our centerpieces (cheap) glass vases from HobbyLobby filled with silk fall flowers and pumpkin spiced potpouri with an ivory bun candle on top and a gold filagree bow tied around the neck. These were placed on 12 in round mirrors and fall silk leaves surrounded them on the tables. I made the card collector out of a large round hat box covered in Ivory material and gold cording accenting it. My favors were pumpkin spice votives labeled with pic of fall leaves and personalized with our names and date and then wrapped in ivory tulle. My flowergirl dressed also in ivory dropped fall silk leaves as she came down the aisle. My unity candle and tapers were ivory with actual embedded fall leaves in them and sat in gold holders on the alter. My programs for church were printed on fall themed paper....my save the date cards were refrigerator magnets with a picture of us standing in front of a red leaf bush and said....As autumn leaves turn their brillant hue two hearts will join and say "I do"....our invitations started with the same saying and were ecru with an autumn leave on it. My girls worn dresses that were called shimmering leaf....actually almost a bronze color. My cake had edible fall leaves on top of it. We had bride and groom chocolate covered strawberries.The bride dipped in white chocolate and the groom had tuxes on. They were placed at each seat on top of a gold plate which was set on a folded dark green napkin.We took the fall theme and ran with it, it was fun finding everything and when we got it all together it all just popped! I hope this has helped and you can use some of our ideas. I am so excited now when anyone asks about a fall theme because it certainly worked for me! Good Luck!

We got married last sepetember outside. We used daisy mums to line the aisle. We left them in the original pots and just wrapped the bottoms and tied them with a pretty bow. We then gave the flowers to our grandparents and godparents after the ceremony. The pictures look beautiful. We went to a small family owned garden center and got a discount on them.
