FALL-ing in Love

Fall is such a special and nostalgic time for people. The leaves change (well, not here in California...), the air get's a little more crisp, and people get a little more in the mood to cozy up! I was chatting with a friend the other day about how good it feels to come into a warm house or building after being outside in the chilly fall weather. Something about that feeling brings back comfy nemories of autumns-past.

This is why fall is such an AMAZING time for weddings! Temperatures aren't nearly as scorching, while natural ambiances become warm and welcoming. Most peoples' schedules have calmed down by this time of year, so a lot of couple's are drawn to the fact that more of their loved ones will be able to be present to witness their marriage. I won't even get started on the beautiful fall color wedding trends that accompany this season...yet!

As my calendar is starting to fill for the 2017 wedding season, I am so excited to have an October wedding to look forward to! I've been inspired to start collecting some fall wedding inspiration (check out my Pinterest board here for some images) to get my feet wet and my heart-a-flutter.

I am obsessed with anything that can tie in the season, the theme, and the vibe of a wedding. An apple cider station is a charming way to do just that! Apples are in season in the fall and are the perfect display fruit for a cozy autumn wedding. Having your party outdoors? Go for hot apple cider instead. Your guests will love this toasty treat on a not-so-toasty day, and it will totally get them in the mindset for your fall soiree.

Another amazing thing about a fall wedding is that your décor does not have to rely on florals. This season brings about plenty of pumpkins, gourds, corn, and wheat that can add beauty and tenderness to any event space. Instead of a chalice of flowers on your guest book table, adorn it with something that is more seasonal (like above!), and that also happens to be more budget friendly! Again, the colors? So vibrant! Also- need something cute for each guest's place setting? Look no further!

One of this year's biggest trends has been COPPER! What's not to love? It's shiny, it's beautiful, and it houses Moscow Mules! Copper is a phenomenal color for fall because it matches the whole brown-neutral-warm vibe. If you're the kind of person who prefers more of a blank-slate color scheme, copper is your best friend. Pair it with some neutral florals, like above, and a minimalist place setting and you've got yourself the prettiest fall tablescape I ever did see.
