Fall Wedding Ideas - Thoughts, Hints and Ideas For the Perfect Autumn Wedding

By Stephen Badiali

There is a lot of debate about what season is the best for a wedding. Some think Spring is the best because flowers are starting to bloom and the weather is getting warmer. Others think Winter is the best because snow provides the perfect backdrop for a wedding.
Fall, however, is the season that has become the most popular for weddings, and there are many reasons to search for Fall wedding ideas.
Since Fall has become so popular you will need to start your planning well in advance. At least a year in advance book your reception location and start booking your other vendors like photographer, DJ and florist. If you wait too long you risk not getting your first choices.
Fall weddings offer a unique twist to your wedding. Summer has ended, and long hot days have turned into cool brisk evenings that are perfect for weddings. As the leaves start to change colors, they create a breathtaking backdrop for your wedding photos.
A popular choice for Fall wedding ideas is an outdoor wedding event. Exchanging your vows in a garden with a reception under a tent allows you to enjoy the season and all that it brings with it.
Even if you don't get married outside you can plan to have photos taken outside. Talk with you photographer and research parks and other places to take photos outside.
Possible locations for a Fall wedding include Inns or Bed and Breakfasts, vineyards, barns and private estates. You may want to try to plan the wedding for when you think Fall foliage will be at its peak for your area.
Choose a location that allows you to take advantage of the season and Fall foliage. Again, these locations tend to fill up fast, so put booking your location at the top of your to do list.
A wedding theme can work well with all of your Fall wedding ideas, and there are several really good options to choose from.
Apple Wedding Theme
Apples are a sign that Fall is upon us. Apples can be tied into all aspects of your wedding including your invitations, decorations and favors.
Wine Wedding Theme
Fall is harvest time, and a wine-themed wedding can be a lot of fun. Wine bottles can be used as part of your centerpieces, and mini bottles make great wedding favors.
Fall Flower Wedding Theme
There are several fall flowers that you can use including Mums, Dahlia and Hydrangea. Flowers can be used as decorations and incorporated into many aspects of your wedding.
Halloween Wedding Theme
Many couples tie Halloween into their wedding day. You can even add some mystery to your big day by having a masquerade wedding reception.

Wedding Themes - Wedding Favor Ideas - Creative Wedding Ideas

By Ashley Rader 

Wedding themes have long been the magical way that all young girls dream about and desire to have when they are grown and meet that handsome prince. Over the centuries, many décor ideas for a creative wedding have evolved. The first one that I like to mention is a very popular one. This theme for a wedding is about Prince Charming and Cinderella. The formal costumes, the food, and even the lost slipper can be a part of the ceremony. Most of the time the food is fanciful and dreamy served amidst dry ice to conjure up the magic. A professional wedding decorator can transform any function able room into your palace. Ice carvings create the image of being the enchanted kingdom. The costumes of course must consist of the big princess ball gown, (magic wand to be included).
The Groom must wear a tuxedo. Use romantic candles and beautiful flowers this is the final addition of your fairy tale wedding. This is a great décor idea for a creative wedding. Many different theme ideas have come to play over the years. I attended a Hawaiian style wedding in the snow country. The theme beautifully made using snow as the background for sand. The snow made the sand look while the lei's and the Hawaiian shirts blended in with the rest of the décor making the bride and groom a stand out at this wedding. A large native looking man served pig with an apple in mouth on a large platter while native girls danced. The pig roasted already with vegetables and little cups of poi were at everyone's plate.
There were many great ideas for a very unique and personalized favors and decor in this wedding. The nautical theme used both on board ship and on dry land is a winning theme. Shipboard weddings are popular and they offer the honeymoon as part of the package. The captain can perform the ceremony while the ships men do all the work for the scenery etc. The other type of nautical wedding calls for many décor ideas for a creative wedding. The banquet room decorated with things from a boat, the bride and groom table can utilize the lifesavers for dishes, while the glass wear can look like a pelican. The real thing is if you like you can use the marine type clothing worn by civilians. We hope that you have enjoyed these décor ideas for a creative wedding. The following theme ideas are possible what ideas can you come up:
  • The Garden or Perfect "Pear" Wedding
  • The Casino Wedding
