Here’s a countdown of our favorite little details well worth looking into for fall this year. Remember it the little details that really count and make a wedding stand out from the crowd.
Center Pieces & Table Decor
Fall wedding table decorations never fail to amaze me; whatever the budget or style of wedding, they just seem to possess a certain charm. Make sure you pay homage to the natural rich colors available to you at this time of year and remember you can never have too much on your tables when it comes to an autumn wedding. Fill it up with hot beverages, colorful snacks and fallen leaves.

Wedding Favors
Make sure your guests leave happy with little jars and boxes of treats and fun little surprises. We love healthy fall inspired jars of nuts and seeds. These are something that every couple can do together and it’s a great way to keep costs to a minimum, but equally look quite expensive.

Seating Plans
We have seen some really creative and original ideas for seating plans over the last few years, but one of our favorites is the idea to have names unscripted on cute little note lets mixed with vibrant dangling leaves on spindly tree branches.

Cake Toppers
When it comes to crowning the cake, keep it simple. Less is more when it comes to rustic fall style weddings, as the colors in the flowers and leaves will do the hard work for you. The flowers in bloom will be rich plum and marmalade or why not try adding some juicy red apples for something a little different!

The Ring Pillow
Although it’s an obvious choice to have a miniature pumpkin, why not put a new spin on an already great idea! Add some rustic leaves and festive ribbons to make your very own personalized pumpkin ring pillow. If you want to stick to the original soft cushion plan, then why not add some seasonal hay sewn delicately next to the ring!

Candle Lights
If you’re having a fall wedding, then you must include candlelight! There are so many pretty ways to introduce fabulous lighting into your venue, just choose one that suits your style and theme. Choose from rustic wooden logs with engraved logos or carved pumpkins to store tea lights in.

Archways & Foliage
If you are set to wed outdoors, then a pretty archway is well worth considering. They are a cheap way to really make a statement and it’s something that DIY brides can really sink their teeth into. Try twisting spindly tree branches and vibrant autumn leaves.

After Reception Treats
One way to really impress your guests is by fueling their appetites, there is so much waiting around during a wedding, that a healthy supply of delicious treats will be one way to keep them happy and make your wedding stand out from the rest. Try warm miniature treats like hot apple pies or treacle tarts.

Games and Entertainment
Make sure the day is filled with fun and laughter; one way to do this is through a mixture of silly games, we’re pretty sure that everyone will love a little humor and healthy competition! Why not try some festive ideas, such as bobbing for apples or if you are wedding in early autumn then try some traditional lawn games.

Accessorize
One clever little way to add a little more detail into your big day is to ensure members of your wedding party have a little bit of autumn on them. Consider the groom and his men with seasonal boutonnieres, and flower girls with gorgeous headdresses covered in vibrant fall leaves.
