Are you planning to get married in Autumn?

Warm table decorations
When we think of autumn we tend to think warm shades of gorgeousness, orange, red and warm neutrals.

A way in which to include these warm tones on your table arrangements is the creative use of a pumpkin, simply take off the top, empty out the middle and arrange for your wedding flowers to be inserted inside. This idea is unique and very autumn like.

If using these colours is a bit too predictable for you then go for a more glamorous touch using gold and white for a warm but simple look.

Autumn Favours
Let’s not get too tied up in tradition here, these days when it comes to wedding favours anything goes, the more creative you are the more fun you can.

In autumn the leaves will start to fall, so why not leave little gifts of nature like scented pine cones, little baskets of fruit, jar’s of jam or spiced apple.

Doing so will ensure that your wedding is filled with warm aromas of spiced apple or cinnamon sticks.

Just hanging around, lighting the place up
Hanging décor is very on trend this year, especially DIY creations; this can be done with old jars and candles for a simple but pretty lighting effect that won’t take up too much of your time.

If you really don’t have the time for such pleasures then fairy lights and lanterns will always look amazing, hanging from tress or the ceiling of your venue.

The whole point of lighting is to create a warm inviting atmosphere, so however you choose to light up your venue you will be sure to create an atmosphere your guests will not want to leave in a hurry!

Fun for the kids
To add a bit of fun to your day whether it is for the children or the adults these little details will be enjoyed.

Sparklers are always fun so why not take an old barrel or basket and make them available around the venue, ensuring adults keep an eye on the children of course.

Toffee apples are an essential part of fall so you could create a table for your guests to create their very own toffee apple.

If you don’t mind a bit of mess then you could have a pumpkin carving table for the kids, it will definitely keep them occupied for a while.

Autumn is a beautiful time of year so basing your wedding theme around this time of year is enough to ensure your wedding is full of colour, a great atmosphere and beautiful details.
