Fall Wedding Favors & Ideas

There is something whimsical about a fall wedding. This is the perfect time of the year to use the natural beauty of the out doors as a part of your wedding. Think of wedding venues with outdoor character that will bring out the true colors of autumn. One of our national or state parks might be a wonderful and not often thought of location for a fall wedding ceremony. Romantic wedding receptions can be held in an apple orchard, vineyard, a country inn, or a bed and breakfast. Search for an intimate location that will glow with the colors of fall foliage.

For fall weddings use the colors that are naturally evident. Rich earth tones such as auburn, browns, warm rusts, burnt oranges, deep reds, golden yellows, and greens are ideal for fall wedding colors. Accent your reception tables with copper or gold tones, using table utensils with rustic colors or the look rather that the classic silvers. Reception tables will be romantically glowing with tea lights and red roses for centerpieces. To go for a natural trend think outside the norm for flowers and try wildflowers and herbal bouquets. Create large centerpieces with copper or silver toned buckets filled with apples, pears, acorns, and pinecones, which your guest can take home as wedding favors. Don’t forget the pumpkins in the fall. Use pumpkins to hold candles, these will also make cute wedding favors. The “Perfect Pear” theme is also very popular in the fall. Decorate your reception tables with pear candles or offer the perfect pair candles as wedding favors in organza pouches.

A wedding in the fall has elements of sophistication blended with ease and relaxation. The obvious route is to bring an elegant rustic atmosphere to your event. For an outdoor fall wedding, use torches around the periphery of the dance and seating area. Use traditional lanterns on each table for an old-world feel or impart an ethnic vibe, with the use of lanterns from Morocco. You can create classic fall wedding centerpiece by grouping together pillar candles in varying heights. Tie stalks of flowers to tent poles, fill glass jugs with cider, or offer dozens of bales of hay for guest to sit on. Have floating candles in a pool, pond or fountain. The light reflecting off the water creates a luminous appearance.

Fall weddings are the perfect opportunity to get creative with the wedding favors. Think wholesome goodies, such as personalized honey jars or jam jar favors. Be classy with personalized wine jelly jar favors to coordinate with your vineyard wedding. Tie up natural burlap or jute bags with organza ribbons filled with aromatic coffee beans for a natural wedding favor. An elegant fall wedding favor idea is to fill white muslin bags with cookies, a cookie recipe, and embellish with a mini cookie cutter. Personalized teas and coffee packets are also great edible fall wedding favors that are popular and can easily be ordered. Be creative and don’t worry about it being too much work.
