When crisp weather is in the air and autumn foliage is at its peak, High Point, North Carolina can provide the perfect setting for fall weddings. To truly take advantage of the spirit and beauty of the season, try incorporating its seasonal colors and tastes right into your big day. Here’s how you can make the most of autumn weddings at Congdon Yards.
WAYS TO EMBRACE AUTUMN WEDDINGS
When planning autumn weddings, there are several ways to capture the beauty of the season. To bring your dream fall wedding to life, include:
-
Autumn Color Schemes
Fall is known for its iconic color palette of dark reds, yellows, greens, and browns. This color scheme works beautifully with fall weddings by capturing the essence of the season both indoors and out. Incorporate these autumn colors when choosing bridesmaid dresses, flowers and accessories. You may also want to consider adding softer colors, like purples and pinks, to provide a hint of romance that complements your richer, more traditional fall palette.
-
Seasonal Fall Décor
The fall season is a unique time in nature, as the leaves change and iconic flowers hit peak bloom. Embrace autumn nature in your décor by incorporating seasonal flowers and fall foliage like chrysanthemums and sunflowers into floral bouquets or canopies for your ceremony and reception. For table centerpieces, gather seasonal produce like pumpkins, squash and gourds into a festive cornucopia. You can also add fun fall flair to your reception with antique-style wooden table signs, textured fall fabrics like burlap and velvet, and a string of overhead fairy lights to recreate a dreamy, fall-like glow.
-
A Taste of Autumn
With autumn comes signature flavors, all of which can be included in your fall wedding menu. Seasonal ingredients like apples, cranberries and squash are easy to incorporate throughout several dishes, from salads to sweets. Offering a hot chocolate or apple cider bar is also a great way to add some coziness to your fall wedding’s reception. Even wedding favors can be themed to autumn flavors, with local jams or honeys being offered as takeaways.
