Planning a fall wedding this year? Or know someone who is? If so then here are some wedding tips for an outdoor wedding. These are easy to follow weather you are hiring a planner or doing it yourself.
First, pay homage to the season. Try using bright autumn colors like oranges or browns for your table clothes, name tags/place cards and floral arrangements. These colors are bound to bring out the natural colors of the season. Using these subtle tones will bring out the colors in your bridal party gowns and the hall. Rustic colors are the most popular for an autumn wedding. Using different colors in different areas is a popular strategy. Use the dark oranges in your center pieces and the rustic colors in the bridal gowns. Going for a cream table clothe will divert from the dark colors and yet lighten up the tables and the centerpieces.
Instead of decorating the reception tables with small votive candles, try using one large autumn colored candle. Placing the dark or light autumn colors in flowers will break up the dark hues. You can use smelling candles like pumpkin, spice or cinnamon. Not only will they scent the room but they will give off more light in a subtle tone. Using the colors of autumn will also increate the union from your ceremony to the reception. Keeping the color scheme together and united. Breaking up the colors can be done by using dark colors and then having a small break in the fall scheme.
If an indoor reception is needed due to cooling temperatures in the evening, try bringing the outside in. This can be done in numerous different ways. Along the sides of the reception area, use trees that have autumn colors on the leaves. Decorate these trees with classic white or soft orange lights. Accentuating the time of year and yet still creating a soft glow for a romantic setting.
When decorating the reception area, try branching the ceiling with a pattern of lights. This will cast a soft amber tone all around the area. The soft amber light will make it seem like your outside when your not. Illuminating your reception area will create a romantic glow and an evening with family and friends that you will not forget. Having these extra lights on the ceiling will also cast a safe light that will prevent any injury.
Having foods based on the season is also a popular trade. Foods that are pumpkin based are numerous and easy to find or make yourself. This can be in soups, breads or even salads. Serving warm foods on a setting will keep your guests comfortable from the chilled weather outside. Not only does it keep them warm and fed, but it will also be filling. Enlightening the moods and keeping your party going is something every bride and groom want.
