Put these at the entrance of your reception and place the name cards so people know what table they’re at. Placing them in pine ones than in typical card holders or just flat on the table is so different your guests would never expect it.
5. Wooden Arch With Burnt Orange Fabric And Flowers
Repeat after me; candles, candles and more candles. You absolutely want to incorporate these into your fall wedding. They’ll create the perfect romantic atmosphere for your special day. But instead of getting the typical white tea candles instead look for ones that are deep red and even black. While they may seem slightly gothic that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, especially for a fall wedding. And if you’re concerned with actually using candles at your wedding you can easily find flameless candles that will give you the desired aesthetic you want without worrying about a possible fire. Adorn then with fake berries at the base and you have yourself the perfect décor or even center pieces.
6. Red And Black Candles With Berries
You obviously can’t have a fall wedding without using lanterns in some form. Instead of using lanterns as center pieces or to line the aisle hang them from trees. Hanging them from trees is brilliantly unexpected. No one would think to utilize every aspect of their venue but by doing this. To make sure you don’t jeopardize the safety of your guests or the tree make sure you use flame less candles. You can put a timer on them so that way they turn okay at a specific time and no one will have to actually light a bunch of candles attached to a tree.
7. Rope Hung Black Lanterns
When you’re thinking of fall wedding décor you’re probably also wondering what can you use to create a different center piece that your guests will remember are these. Below is a photo of using actual wheat to create a beautiful fall bouquet. No one will expect you to use something so simple and mundane as the main piece of your tables.
8. Wheat Centerpieces Tied Together With Flowers
Just one more item on this list that heavily uses pumpkins. Do a little Halloween diy by carving and hollowing our your pumpkin. But instead of making a spooky face just create an opening wide enough to fit cards. Paint your pumpkins, paint on your initials and now you have a unique and different card holder. This is a way your guests can put any congratulation cards or you can even ask guests to put suggestions and tips for a successful marriage.
9. Carved Pumpkin Card Holder
Whoever said you can’t have colors in your fall wedding décor are wrong. You definitely can, it just matters how you do it.
