Consequently, fall wedding trends are frequently being rewritten to hold relevance each year, for the modern-day couple looking to get hitched. The leaves changing colour symbolise a new page being turned in the life of newlyweds who are taking a leap of faith and are soon to be wed.

Your wedding photographer will be grateful, as the natural explosion of colours and a glorious ‘golden hour’ can be captured wonderfully.

Integrating seasonal leaves adds a dreamy feel and romantic autumn vibe to any bouquet! Fall wedding flowers are all about foliage and texture that are intricately put together in lush designs so that they are extremely eye-catching. The minimalistic décor is usually inspired by nature’s bounty. Incorporating industrial copper pipes draped with garlands and copper centrepieces filled with soft florals, facilitates an amalgamation of feminine and masculine components which has been a huge trend in the wedding business so far this year. Keep it classy with rich red tones, ivory, and deep greens which work perfectly with a variety of accent colours!

Spice up your traditional wedding cake by indulging in seasonal flavours like praline pumpkin, butter pecan, maple walnut or candied apple. Make sure that it is tinted with rich fall colours. Naked cakes are so last year! Make way for translucent cakes, a big autumnal hit. Translucent cakes are all the rage and instead of zero frosting, the tiers are glazed with a paper-thin layer of frosting, forming a translucent effect. Followed by a generous caramel or chocolate drizzle Sounds absolutely delicious, right?

Draw inspiration from colour palettes synonymous with the season itself. From rich orange and deep merlots to a velvety beige, these colours will establish the essence of the season. For example; marsala (not the wine!) combined with soft metallic tones like copper or gold adds an exquisite touch of contrast to the whole colour scheme, accentuates deep toned colours and allows it to take the seasonal spotlight by storm. The addition of chromatic accents in wedding décor are amongst the massive trends emerging this fall.
