Those pairs hoping to showcase the feeling of the season in their reception décor can incorporate rich hues, natural materials, and golden elements to add the warmth of the fall to their receptions.
It's officially autumn! Whether you're getting ready to say "I do" this season or you're planning a fall wedding a year or more from now, you may be looking for design ideas to bring either subtle or bold autumnal elements to your tablescape. Those pairs hoping to showcase the feeling of the season in their reception décor can incorporate rich hues, natural materials, and golden elements to add the warmth of the fall season to their receptions.
The key design element we see in most fall-inspired weddings is a darker wedding color palette featuring burgundy and crimson accents. Splashes of deeper hues on tablescapes are stunning, from heavy linens in rich tones to pops of darker blooms in centerpieces. By just focusing on adding moody, deep colors in lieu of the popular pastels and creams seen in many weddings, the overall feeling of fall will come alive.
Whether you’re planning an understated rustic wedding or an opulent ballroom soirée, your reception tablescapes will set the tone for your overall motif. Whether or not you choose to add darker shades, try incorporating natural browns, glimmering golds, fresh greenery, and raw woods to transport your loved ones into an autumnal dream that can work for an array of wedding styles and formalities.
