If you're anything like me, you've probably started the transition to fall a couple weeks ago when you noticed a cool breeze one evening and October fast approaching. Suddenly, I find myself sipping hot tea with a candle burning as my serotonin levels go allllll the way up. There's something about fall weather that feels cozy, magical, and full of romance!
We've compiled some of our favorite fall trends this year that invoke warmth, glamour, and hospitality. This year's weddings are still all about intentionality: intimate gatherings, personalized details, and making guests feel extra special. The fall season presents new opportunities to showcase these same values, but in a cozier package. Let us know which trend is your favorite!
Dried & Cascading Florals

Dried flowers are major this year for their seasonal versatility and natural design. Pampas grass, bunny tails, and dried eucalyptus compliment any colors or tones in your floral design. Cascading bouquets incorporated with various textured florals and warm tones are the perfect fall design for bridal and bridesmaid looks. Flow the cascading florals into the arbor design, table centerpieces, and other elements for a natural autumn style. Dried florals serve as a natural base for bold pops of color to take center stage!

Different Textures & Bold Tones

Imagine velvet and chiffon, in warm shades of burnt orange, emerald green, and soft mauve. Bold colors are taking over - when in doubt, choose color over white for an eye-catching design. Incorporate autumn tones into bridesmaid gowns, table linens, and centerpieces for a bold fall statement.

Fall weather creates the perfect atmosphere for an outdoor wedding, without the unbearable heat or cold. For outdoor ceremonies, let autumn colors do all the work for a gorgeous backdrop for your vows. Dress your bridesmaids in neutral tones to compliment the fall leaves in warm shades of burnt orange, red, and evergreen.

Lounge Seating Coziness

Outdoor fireplaces create the perfect evening atmosphere for your guests to enjoy a delicious s'more or warm drink by the fire. Provide hot cocoa, tea, or apple cider for your guests to keep warm as the weather cools down. Event rental companies offer cozy seating options to choose from like vintage settees, couches, armchairs, and accent tables to tie in with your design. Top it off with baskets of blankets for the perfect finishing touch.

Elevated Fall Glamour

Picture champagne silk linens, neutral place settings, and shimmery accents. Pair sparkly chargers with warm jewel toned candlesticks and floral runners for a glamorous, autumnal soirée. Sparkly wedding gowns are also taking over in gorgeous beaded fashion. These studded textures carry into table linens, sparkling chandeliers, and bridesmaid dresses for a cohesive design.
