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.

While they may seem slightly gothic that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, especially for a fall wedding.

Adorn then with fake berries at the base and you have yourself the perfect décor or even center pieces.

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
