Fall is in the air—and fall wedding season is about to be in full force. If you booked an autumn wedding, well, lucky you, as it just doesn’t get any better! There’s a nice crisp in the air and you don’t have to worry about you and your guests overheating—but, best of all, are fall wedding decorations. Just think of all those warm tones you can incorporate into your theme, from rich reds to vibrant yellows to bold oranges. And, of course, you can’t forget the pumpkins, which make for a great and relatively inexpensive decoration. Here, we dive into creative ways you can decorate with pumpkins on your big day. Give your guests pumpkin to talk about!
Table Centerpieces
Mix mini pumpkins into floral arrangements to create a seasonal centerpiece your guests won’t be able to stop talking about. You can buy fake pumpkins and paint them, or go for real mini-white ones that will match any theme.
Line the Aisle
A fall wedding isn’t complete without a pumpkin-lined aisle! Visit your local farmers market to mix and match different colors, shapes, and sizes to really up the fun factor.
Photo Backdrop
Who doesn’t love a picturesque photo station?! Play up the season by creating a photo backdrop of shelves decorated with pumpkins. You can opt for original orange gourds or mix and match.
Table Name Cards
Simply tie hand-torn paper lettered with your guests’ names around the stem of mini pumpkins (or create a slit to stick a card in) to create fun name card placeholders. You could even spray paint your gourds a metallic color for an even more eye-catching look.
Adorn the Altar
Pair pumpkins with colorful fall flowers to add drama to your altar or archway—the perfect backdrop for a fall-loving couple!
