Autumn Themed Weddings

Autumn is characterised with golden details and orange bouquets without these being the rule of thumb. The most common colour combinations are yellow, shades of orange and peach. For a more glamorous and stylish colour theme though you can use gold with aqua or gold with pink.

A palette of Autumn flowers will include: snow-berries, gerberas, roses, dahlias, calla lilies, orchids, english oaks, eucalyptus pulverulenta, chrysanthemum, gladiolus, amaryllis, tulips.

For unique and stylish receptions use the following decoration ideas:

• Use your colour scheme and customise your cake. If your colour scheme is gold then monogram the cake with your initials in gold colour. The cost will be less but the result will be as stunning and stylish as any other cake.
• Not fancy to have a wedding cake? Order cup cakes instead with your favourite flavour, carrot cake is a seasonal option. Decorate it with cheese icing and gold dust.
• Add your monograms in the entrance of the wedding reception and use satin ribbon to hang them. For example you can have gold monograms and aqua satin ribbon.
• Use the same monogram on your invitations; another way to cut cost.
• Create your signature cocktail; have one or two cocktails served during the cocktail reception. Why not serve the cocktails you love or create your own and give the recipe to your guests either by including in into the wedding favour box or having it printed behind the dinner menu.
• Coffee during the dinner reception? Keep the coffee warm by adding caramel wafers on the top of the cup. Coffee will be warm for longer and it will be an extra treat for the guests.
• Use lots of candles on the tables to create the romantic atmosphere. Use pumpkins instead of vases in different colours (white, orange, yellow) and sizes. Have the bigger ones filled with the flowers of your choice and the smaller ones as an additional touch for the tables.
• Instead of using flowers, create centrepieces by using wheat, grains and dried grass. Tied them with a silk bow of your chosen colour.
• Give flower girls leaf petals to throw during the wedding ceremony instead of the traditional rose petals.
• Pomegranate is an Autumn fruit; it can easily be used to hold the seating cards. Use small and similar size good condition pomegranates for a totally different decoration idea.
• Wedding favours; give to your guests a sentenced candle similar to the one on their table with a candle holder of your colour scheme. For a more sweat treat, give them mini-panettone cakes (sweat bread made with dried fruit) with a card with the word ‘Enjoy’ and your monograms.
