Rustic Fall Wedding Ideas to Fall For
One of the dreamiest times of year is to get married in the fall, partly because there’s a plethora of rustic fall wedding ideas when it comes to creating your dream look. Autumn weddings are perfect for creating a wedding with vibrant colors and cozy ambience. Some details that help to make your fall wedding stand out are the tapestry of colors across the landscape including rich reds, oranges, and yellows. The woodland area is enchanting and offers windows to the rolling greens beyond, providing a beautiful backdrop for any garden wedding with its natural beauty.
Incorporate More Color and Texture with Mismatched Attire
Consider leaning into warm tones for fall season, but you can also embrace other palettes. The beautiful mustard and burgundy tones, the totally cool flowers and the woodland setting create a stunning effect. You can also incorporate mismatched dresses or suits, which is an easy way to make the cost more approachable for your wedding party. For a specific look, we dressed the bride in a lace topped dress with a loose skirt and the groom in daring all black with a hint of velvet in the jacket. The groom’s dark suit was accented with a burgundy bow tie and a rustic boutonnière.
Elevate Your Celebration with Exceptional Bar Services
A cozy hot toddy or fruity sangria can really make a fall wedding! This is a real opportunity for you to personalize the experience with your own rustic fall wedding drink ideas. Below is a selection of seasonal beverages to inspire your menu:
| Drink Idea | Key Ingredients / Notes |
|---|---|
| Hot Toddy | Paired with your liquor of choice |
| Pear and Apple Sangria | A fruity and seasonal twist |
| Apple Cider Floats | Scoop vanilla ice cream into apple cider (great for the kids) |
| Apple Cranberry Moscow Mule | Put your own spin on it with favorite fall flavors |
| Hot Bourbon Cider | A warm and cozy classic |
Additionally, a converted tuk tuk which serves Prosecco with the option to jazz it up with various flavours can be a fun addition. For those of us who aren’t a fan of bubbles to celebrate, they also offer beer and coffee.
Rustic Decor and Floral Accents
Greet guests with handcrafted wooden signs adorned with fall florals, greenery, and/or fall foliage. Lace can be done in a high end way for your decor – consider lace-edged napkins, lace overlays on tables, or incorporating just a little lace into your wedding dress. To maintain a higher end look, avoid including burlap in your decor when you use lace.
For the ceremony, you might consider a gazebo frame used as an altar, decorated asymmetrically with dried and fresh flowers to add volume as well as pops of pink and burgundy colour contrast to the wood. The bouquet can feature flowers ranging in tones as well as a mixture of fresh and dried, tied together with a long golden velvet ribbon.
The Ultimate Rustic Fall Wedding Feel: Glowy Warm Lighting
Use vintage lanterns filled with candles to create warm, ambient lighting throughout your party spaces. Layering candles on tables, such as short chunky candles with tall thin ones, can also create a cozy, almost bookish effect for your centerpieces. Consider draping string lights or Edison bulbs across either a barn’s interior or around the outdoor space. Small potted arrangements with intermingled candles on a rustic table can create the dark luxurious table of our dreams.
