Early fall is a popular time for weddings, and with good reason. The air is fresh and crisp, outdoor scenery is at its best, signature fall foods are freaking delicious, and PUMPKINS. Every year, so many fun autumn wedding ideas are coming out that it’s hard to choose which to incorporate into your big day. Here are some new, but also some old ideas that’ll help you create your perfect wedding.
Naked Wedding Cakes

Naked cakes are a great way to get a classy look without sacrificing character.

You can experiment with different levels of ‘cake nudity’ (yes, I just made the up!) to find your perfect aesthetic.

This cake style can shine in both fall and winter, especially if you’ve got snow. I personally love the dusty snow appearance of the frosting combined with deep reds.
Apples

Instead of using only traditional lighting, add some romantic ambiance by mixing in some fall themed candles.
Metallic & Sequins

Incorporate metallic and sequin designs for the candles to bounce light off of, bringing everything to life.

By mixing totally different textures from the grainy sequin tablecloth to the rough wood pieces, less decoration is necessary.

As long as you create a few quality statement pieces, even a budget wedding can look expensive.
Food & Drink Stations
