Charming Ceremonies

A great way to incorporate a fall theme into your wedding is by bringing the ceremony to fall!

If you’re planning for a couple who loves the outdoors, pitch the idea of holding the ceremony outside. It may be a little chilly, but these decorations will be so worth it.

  • Bring in the Hay Bales: Great for a countryside couple! Use haystacks to hold signage, gourd arrangements, or even as seating. If you opt for the latter, invest in cushions and fabric so guests aren’t covered in hay!
  • Tulle Canopy: Create a small canopy out of tulle for the altar. You can style them like curtains, and add flair by tying it back with a burlap bow.

Planning for a couple who prefers an indoor ceremony? DIY decor will bring the season to them!

  • Twinkling Branches: Cute and simple! String sets of twinkle lights through tree branches. Set up along the aisle or on the altar for rustic charm!
