Using the right hashtags can unlock a whole world of ideas and inspiration. The save feature also allows you to save and unsave ideas as needed.

8 Stunning Ideas for a Fall Wedding from IG

1. Add layers of depth for an authentic fall wedding aesthetic.

Your tablescape is the perfect opportunity to go all out with details. Just as fall leaves fall and create layers outside, you can mimic this feeling on your tables.

Of course, neatly place items on your table. However, creative napkin ties, multiple glasses, and stacked plates (with a charger!) all add depth.

2. Use multiple types of fall wedding flowers.

Florals add texture and dimension to your big day, but don’t choose just one bloom. Autumn brings a whole host of gorgeous florals, so seize the opportunity to incorporate multiple blooms.

Not only should you include different flowers, but also vary the hues. The result is a stunning bouquet and centerpieces with a just-picked feel.

4. Spring for a fall wedding arch.

Or should we say falling for a fall wedding arch? Either way, a statement arch makes a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding ceremony.

Additionally, a backdrop can be moved to the reception to frame the head table or serve as a photo background.

5. Be creative with your fall wedding decorations.

Whether you’re embellishing your hair, reception tables, or ceremony seating, get creative! Of course, pumpkins and mums are traditional.

However, consider branching out and using expected elements creatively or skipping them altogether. Autumn is the perfect time to include creative fall wedding ideas. P.S. Yes, colorful fall cocktails can count as decor!

7. Choose fabulous colors for a fall wedding.

Love orange, rust, and brown tones? Go for it! Conversely, if you adore plum, navy, and gold, feel free to incorporate those hues. Colors for a fall wedding don’t have to be traditional at all.

However, deeper tones can offset the season beautifully as the leaves start to change. Whatever you select, be sure that you adore your fall wedding color palette. As a bonus, fall wedding dresses are a fabulous opportunity to incorporate autumnal tones.
