The colors of a fall wedding; Capturing the warmth of leaves, fire, and the natural beauty of nature’s fall-time.

From huge bouquets of reds, oranges, browns, and yellows—to the natural look of dark oaks and leaves falling everywhere—Fall weddings are by far my favorite. Maybe because of the endless possibilities of colors and accents, or the many options of food items on a fall menu. The warmth of fall-time is my ideal perception of the perfect wedding.

In 2010, I went to a total of five weddings, all during the month of September and October. This is when my fall-time wedding fantasy began.

I fell in love with the flower bouquets, the accents of small and big pumpkins, in whites and creams and oranges. I loved the idea of big white candles and huge fire places, garlands of leaves and fall flowers. I loved all the photos of brides and grooms in pumpkin patches and wide open fields with brightly colored fall-changed trees in the background. The butternut squash soup served in authentic pumpkins with cinnamon croutons was perhaps my favorite. All of this, and much much more, turned my mind on overdrive, and hasn’t stopped since.

Instead of rose petals flourishing the bridal party’s walkway down the aisle, how about dry leaves? Or how about a cake topped with pine cones,acorns, leaves or fall holly foliage?

I know that there can be these endless ideas, contorted and made appropriate for any other month for a wedding—but I just can’t understand anyone denying the beauty of a fall wedding.
