You are getting married in the fall, and even though the traditional pumpkins and crunchy leafs are all around you, your aesthetic preference lays with the unconventional. The crisp autumn air that will swirl around you on your wedding day will be full of the scent of cinnamon and apple cider donuts. The trick to designing a fall wedding that feels like autumn but doesn’t look generic is to use a darker color palette without any oranges or yellows, unique decor, and lots of warm metals.

The dark hues of oxblood and charcoal are made softer with the addition of peach and pistachio. Metallic gold brings the warmth and shine that one would expect with a Fall wedding. Make this board come alive with my top picks for wedding products. Natural, organic flowers, a bit of curiosities, and a touch of DIY projects will make your wedding feel personal, special, and fit with the season.

Gold Hanging Fans

Gold metallic confetti is exactly what you need for your walk back down the aisle as husband and wife. Give a confetti wand to each guest as they arrive to the ceremony. These look especially cute with a custom tag attached instructing guests when to toss the glitter!
