Fall Scents

Bouquet were originally carried for many of the reasons we wear perfume. They had a beautiful frangrance, and that's still true of them today. When thinking about a fall bouqet, you can incorporate details that really increase the scent of fall. Cinnamon sticks would be a lovely way to bring in the smell of fall, plus they would have a unique look and appeal in your floral arrangements. You can aslo include them in your table arrangements, and boutenieres.

Fall Shapes

Aside from adding cinnamon sticks to your bouquets and floral arrangements, you can also add wheat, acorns, and fall leaves. All of the details can be unique to bouquets and table arrangements, but that doesn't change the fact that they are absolutely beautiful and rustic when you see them. You can incorporate these into more than just your bouquet though - try adding them as decor around your Colorado Springs Wedding venue, from the guest book table, to the centerpiece in yoru head table!

Fall Food

Have you ever heard of adding edible items to your bouquet? Well now you have! Take a few fall foods that you love and incorporate them into your bouquet. Apples and pumpkins are the items we specifically have in mind, though you could probably use small squash as well. You don't have to use them just in your bouquet either. You can hollow out pumpkins and use them as a vase for a bouquet, and place these around as centerpieces or decorations. You als can incorporate apples, by hollowing them out and placing tea candles in them, and then floating them in a bowl of water on your table. This can be a truly uniqe way to bring in aspects of fall into your floral arrangements, and when you're trying to acheive a rustic, romantic wedding, it could be just the touch you're looking for!

Fall Fashion Details

There are so many things to love about fall weddings because the crisp weather brings out the light sweaters and fun accents. You can also get really creative with textures and fabrics which photograph really well. You can still opt for nice suits for the groomsmen, or you can incorporate neutral colors in tweed or wool fabrics. For your bridesmaids, the sky is the limit. You can have them all wearing different colors or wearing the same. You can do short or long dresses in the fall, and you can mix and match with chiffon, satin, lace and more. Autumn is a great time to bring out the fabrics that are a little too warm in the summer, and take advantage of those beautiful styles.

Fall Food

The autumn season provides you the opportunity to pull out all of those savory flavors that you've been dreaming of all summer long. You can take advantage of the pumpkin and apple flavors in soups, salads, and desserts, and get creative with your cake too! You don't have to even have a standard wedding cake, you could do delicious pies with ice cream or smores with a fire pit. Bring out all of the warm, toasty drinks that people love with a hot chocolate bar, coffee, and apple cider too! Do you like naked wedding cakes? Rustic fall weddings always beckon the naked cake with its neutral feel and fall accents.
