21 Fall Wedding Ideas We’re Absolutely Loving

As the weather cools down, there’s more opportunity to add some statement fabric to your dress. Just look at those boho bell sleeves. Swoon.

A beaded dress in July? Great idea if you want to faint on the dance floor. Come fall, though, cooler temps mean you can handle the weight of all that sparkly bling. Plus, it’s a trend we’re seeing everywhere.

Your friends will love the color palette and texture options, and your nieces, nephews and godchildren will look too cute for words.

Who needs a million pumpkins and gourds screaming “IT’S FALL!” when you can elegantly kick off the autumn soirée with some simple prairie and wheat grass statement clusters?

Everything is macramé-chic this season. And what’s more appropriate while tying the knot than a delicate knotted textile on your person? Sweet metaphor? Check. Graceful, unique detail? Check.

When something works, it works. Add notes of this crafty look as many places as makes sense. (Which, hint, is a lot.)

…We bet you weren’t thinking macramé on your cake, but this three-tiered dessert from Michelle Doyon in Austin, Texas, is an example of how a little inspiration can go a long way.

Suits are a great way to punch up your event’s color palette, and we love how a brown suit can bring so much warmth to your photos—especially one that’s vintage-inspired and with some texture.

Let the color of the leaves changing inspire your bouquet with deeper, saturated hues. It brings out a moodier vibe that a fall wedding can certainly handle.

Summer is all about easy-breezy. In fall, though, we cozy up and bring on the textures. Adding luxe velvet accents around your bouquet is an easy way to add depth to the entire tableau.

We are loving these moody fall notes brought on by dark wood, ornate candle holders and nearly-dried flowers. It’s also something that most of your guests probably haven’t seen before.

Another easy way to add texture and ambience to your photos is using moss. Is your photographer doing close-up wedding band shots? Have them set your rings on some moss to add depth to the photos.

Throwing a barn fete? Honor the farm-to-table philosophy by using seasonal crops as your table numbers. “Anyone else at the fennel table?”

And if you really want to remind your guests where their food came from, get creative with the white-glove service.

Deep, warm reds pack so much of a visual punch on their own, you don’t need much more to make your cake a showstopper.

Utilize your lighting options to create atmosphere. We love these hanging chandeliers that shimmer brighter as the sun sets.

We’ve seen our fair share of fairy lighting, but when placed deliberately with the space, the effects can create something out of a, well, fairy tale.

Stylist Ashley Petty’s look here manages to be both relaxed and formal. We can totally see this bride opting for a flowy veil.

Bride Tomi Obebe also wears an undone “updo.” In this case, she added a glamorous statement headpiece.

OK, we put the kibosh on bright-orange spooky gourds, but it is their season after all…
