Colors

We love that these options have both expected (reds, oranges, browns and golds) and unexpected (plums, blues, and greens) palettes. You can go full Fall with the expected end or aim for a more romantic and rustic interpretation with some of the softer colors.

Flowers

How cute and different is this boutonniere? And the simple "bouquet" is gorgeous too.

Here are some more traditional bouquets incorporating the deep hues of Fall

Centerpieces

Why not try using some Fall produce to stage your flowers? These two options are gorgeous.

Or, for a lighter touch, you could use the same idea but paint the pumpkin, squash, or vessel of your choice white and use lighter flowers:

More options in those deep hues we love for Fall:

Cake

We love the trend of unfrosted cakes, and that style works perfectly with a rustic Fall theme if you incorporate flowers and fruits in the appropriate color palette:

For another option, this cake gives a small nod to Fall with the adorable mini pumpkins, while the rest of the cake is classic and romantic:

Why not incorporate some natural elements, like branches, to pull in the Fall theme?

Pie

Not a fan of cake? Well then Fall is definitely your season! Use those Fall pie flavors to your advantage and serve apple, pumpkin, and/or pecan pies. Check out these pie spreads for inspiration.

Mini pies! Too cute!

Favors

One of the best parts of Fall has to be all of the rich, spicy flavors. Send your guests home with something yummy in the form of sweet candy apples or a mulling spice kit!

Décor

This setup with real trees is stunning and would be a big wow factor for guests.

Here's one that's a bit simpler but still evokes the Fall theme:

These candle holders feature leaf cut-outs and would be a really simple DIY!

Put Fall in your décor, literally! We like this play on words over the appropriately themed dessert display of donuts and cider.

Post Ceremony Toss-Up:

Here's one of our favorite Fall ideas that you may not have considered: instead of a birdseed, confetti, bubble or other toss-up, try using the natural surroundings and provide guests leaves to toss. Makes for a great photo op!
