Fall Wedding Decoration Ideas and Inspiration

If you're lucky enough to live in an area that has an autumn season, than you already know the beauty that comes with it.  There is nothing more breathtaking than when the leaves start to turn their shades of red and orange and when the crisp afternoon air beckons the beginning of fall.  The perfect atmosphere for brides looking to add a sense of warmth and richness to their wedding day.

When decorating your fall wedding, bring the outdoors in.  Fall wedding accessories like the personalized falling leaves table runner (shown left) will look great in your reception photos and will be a definite show stopper.

For added photo ops, your guests can pose in front of a matching autumn backdrop.  To pull this off, simply set up the backdrop along with a Polaroid camera so guests can take their own pictures.  They can then either take the photos home with them or place them in your wedding guest book along with their best wishes.

Another option is to hire a second photographer assigned to actually take the photos of your guests.  This way you can send the pictures along with your thank you cards as an adorable reminder of your big day.

Since the bulk of your reception decor will actually be your guest tables themselves, your wedding table decorations are truly the ideal place to bring the feeling of fall into your wedding reception.

Simple touches like wooden die cut tree stands (shown left) spray-painted to match your wedding colors are an easy way to bring nature indoors.  Natural fall foliage like grasses, leaves, pine cones, and rocks also add a feeling of the season.  Lit votive candles will cast a romantic glow and add to the ambience of your wedding day.

To add the finishing touches to your table decor, fall wedding favors placed at each guest place setting do double duty, Personalized napkins printed with a tree or leaf design and your names and wedding date look great next to your wedding cake, and bare branch trees placed around your venue will add a polished look to your venue.

Happy Planning!
