There are few seasons that can compare with the gorgeous weather and breathtaking natural backdrop quite like fall, which is why it has become the fastest-growing wedding season the in the U.S. In addition to the decorative prowess you can pull off during a fall wedding, it can be far easier to book a date and may be less expensive than the traditional spring and summer wedding seasons.
If you’ve decided to hold your special day in the fall of 2015 or beyond, many of today’s hottest fall wedding trends will look just as dazzling as they are during autumn 2014. Here are a few of the best new décor ideas from The Park Savoy Estate!
- Jewel tones and earthy shades
Darker, richer tones that bring to mind the shades of fall foliage have been staples at fall weddings for decades, but a hot trend for 2014 is pairing these colors with jewel tones and metallic accents. For instance, a dark green shade will punctuate the look of a brighter emerald green, while traditional fall hues like reds and oranges will have a more dramatic effect when paired with a deep purple.
- Farm to table
Fall by its very nature is the harvest season, and seasonal foods can be a delectable cornerstone of your catering menus, especially with so much fall produce to be had during this time of year. Creative food displays are trendy no matter what time of year it is, so embrace seasonal fare like cider donuts, mini burgers, roasted vegetables and anything else that brings to mind autumn comfort food. Last but not least, replace those summery cocktails with hard cider or pumpkin beer so your guests feel right at home in your theme.
- Rustic accents
Autumn style always seems to have a flair for blending the indoors with nature, so incorporate this style into your décor as well. Acorns, garland, wood grain designs, ferns and leaves will all be right at home in your fall decorative scheme, so think about weaving these accents into table centerpieces, escort and menu cards and even your wedding favors to give your ceremony and reception a welcome seasonal statement.
- Bold and beautiful floral arrangements
To accentuate your naturally-inspired décor, flowers will play a major role in bringing your theme together. Start with traditional fall flowers like mums, dahlias and peonies, and then give them a finishing touch with larger, expansive blooms. Finally, finish the bouquets with fall accents like wheat or barley stalks. They are the perfect addition to bring to mind the harvest season, and they will add welcome texture to your bouquets that will enhance their visual effect.
