What are Fall Wedding Colors?
Color palettes are a huge part of any wedding decor planning, this too can be said for fall weddings. Thankfully, when working with a fall wedding there are some clear guides as to the color schemes to follow.
Fall or autumnal weddings are inspired by the season they are named after. So typically colors that are associated with fall ( oranges, red and yellows ) are a go-to with fall weddings.
Despite this don’t be deterred if these aren’t the colors you envisioned for your autumnal wedding ceremony. Typical fall colors aren’t the only option for a wedding taking place in the autumn. Opt for earthy, muted and warm toned colors when choosing your palette, if you consider this any color can be used in your wedding theme.
With a bit of creativity, you can tailor your favorite colors and reflect your own unique style while still complimenting the essence of the autumn season.
What are Fall Wedding Flowers?
Following the same principles as fall wedding color schemes, fall wedding flowers should also be inspired from the fall season. Opt for flowers with muted and earthy tones. Flowers that are seasonal such as Dahlias, Cosmos, Roses even Sunflowers. Consider Berries and Autumnal foliage too like Viburnum Berries, Fern or Eucalyptus.
Other Flowers and Foliage to consider for you Fall Bouquet:
- Gerbera, Chrysanthemums and Marigolds.
- Dusty Miller, Leather Leaf and Agonis.
- Brunia, Rose Hips and Privet Berries.
When is a Fall Wedding?
- Late September– Looking for a fall wedding with a bit more warmth, late September is the perfect time for you!
- October and November – Optimal time for a fall wedding. All the leaves are turning those unforgettable autumnal colors.
- Early December – Perfect if your wanting to embrace a little bit of the cozy wintery vibes while also retaining that essence of fall.
Fall wedding decor ideas
1. Colors
As previously mentioned above, fall color palettes are particularly centered around the common colors of the fall season and are a crucial part in conveying that autumnal aesthetic at your wedding. Opt for muted toned reds and pinks like in this bouquet and compliment them with green foliage.
Tulle is a standard at most weddings and don’t feel like you have to avoid it for your fall wedding – due to it’s versatility, tulle can compliment any wedding theme and season.
2. Centrepieces
Having an outdoor fall wedding breakfast – take inspiration from this table centerpiece. The warm orange Chrysanthemum and peach-colored roses are a perfect match for the natural linen table runner. We love the simplicity of the table settings here too! Something as effortless as a linen napkin tied with ribbon can be perfect when executed correctly.
Centerpieces don’t have to be elaborate! If a simplistic fall wedding is more you’re style you can create beautiful and elegant table settings that suite this too!
3. Bouquets
This bouquet is the epitome of a fall wedding! Those gorgeous pastel pinks and oranges mixed with bronzed grasses and eucalyptus are just stunning.
This bouquet definitely steps away from the standard fall reds and browns but still maintains that autumnal feel by opting for muted and earthy tones. The addition of white flowers is another unique choice for a fall wedding but pays of when blended with the autumnal foliage.

4. Tablescapes
Another stunning example of linen napkins for a fall wedding table setting! Elevate your autumnal colors by choosing a complimentary colored linen like above. Opt for wooden accents on your table setting by using wooden napkin holders and flower vases – wooden decor pieces are a must at any fall wedding.
If you’re looking to fill your tables with flowers consider the vases you might use – why not mix and match different vase styles to add a sense of bohemian charm for your guests.
5. DIY
Looking to obtain a fall wedding on a budget – consider DIY projects for your table settings. The table above maintains an incredibly chic and elegant feel without being extravagant. You can achieve this look too! Simply collect old clear bottles and fill them with wildflowers such as Gypsophila, Limoniums, Asters or even Lavender – which will bring a sweet aroma to your table too!
6. Elegant
If a rustic fall wedding isn’t what you’re looking for why not consider a more elegant theme. These wedding table centerpieces are a wonderful example of a chic fall wedding. Opt for modern and minimalist decor pieces such as these tall glass vases and display flowers more sparingly. When choosing flowers select a more simplistic palette and accentuate these with green, autumnal foliage.
We love these tall wine-glass inspired candle holders! A really unique way to bring depth and variety to the candles on your table.
7. Small
Holding a smaller more intimate dinner for your wedding party? You can still achieve the fall wedding vibes of your dreams! Consider selecting a singular flower arrangement to place at the center of the table paired with an array of different candle holders dispersed across the table settings.
Terrariums are a great alternative to a standard candle holder or lantern. The geometric shapes and glass pains can create a beautiful lighting experience for you and your guests.
8. Budget
Another amazing example of a fall wedding on a budget!
We love the simplicity of this backyard fall themed wedding. If you’re fortunate enough to have a big enough space in your garden somewhere this is a great way to save money. Create a charming and intimate ceremony space using simple wooden folding chairs like these for seating and line the aisle with potted plants. Why not use an assortment of pots and vases to really lean into that fall bohemian wedding theme.
9. Rustic
Including rustic elements like these wood-log ring holders is a truly unique way to elevate your fall themed wedding. Pair them with other natural pieces like pine-cones, burlap, or dried flowers for your ceremony decor.
Consider incorporating wood log place mats into your table settings for an extra touch of the outdoors at your wedding breakfast.
10. Flowers
Not loving the dark and moody vibes of a traditional fall wedding bouquet why not consider a Sunflower bouquet. Sunflowers are a autumnal flower and a great option for those looking for a brighter looking fall wedding.
Pair sunflowers with wildflowers like Daisies, Asters, and Queen Anne’s lace to create a rustic and colorful bouquet that captures the beauty of the fall season.
11. Cakes
This wedding cake design has perfectly captured the essence of a fall wedding!
Your wedding cake is a super important part of your wedding and can often serve as a decor piece at your wedding reception. Although relatively simple in design the other decor elements surrounding this cake really elevate the design. Choose warm and cozy autumnal flowers not only to feature on the cake itself but also dispersed across the dessert station. A wooden cake stand and serving trays are another great option for creating a fall theme.
12. Table Decorations
We just adore these elegant fall inspired table decorations!
Using tall flower vases is a great way to create chic table decorations whilst also providing your guests with the chance to see their across-the-table neighbors! Charcuterie boards are a simple way to provide your guests with light bites before the main meal, and when presented beautifully, they can serve as an elegant and eye-catching display of food.
13. Lighting
If you’re having wedding festivities outside and your venue happens to have a pergola why not consider creating an outdoor experience for your guests with lighting.
What about suspended flower arrangements? This unique decor choice is great company to any kind of string-light but we particularly like this option of light bulb styled lights.
This fall wedding idea isn’t limited to outdoor events. If you’re working with a space that has exposed beams or a lower ceiling consider what can be achieved with lighting and bunches of flowers.
14. Ceremony Arch
When planning your fall wedding ceremony, a wedding arch is a must! But why not opt for a circular arch instead of a traditional one? Circular arches are a great option if you want to create a modern and elegant focal point.
Another feature for these light bulb string-lights – there really are a great way to elevate your lighting decor.
15. Buffet Table
Even when curating a buffet make sure to consider the design elements of the table. A fall wedding buffet should include warm, muted floral arrangements, autumnal foliage and cozy lighting. Platters and serving trays should be wooden or bronze-colored metals.
To elevate your buffet further, consider the types of food you are going to serve – opt for foods that match your autumnal aesthetic or find foods and recipes that are typically associated with the fall season.
