Seasonal Bouquet
Brides can truly capture the beauty of the fall season with its flowers, blooming in deep oranges, intense reds and creamy yellows. Some of the most common flowers found during the fall include chrysanthemums, safflower, lavender, cosmos, asters and Queen Anne’s lace. [1]
2.
Seasonal Boutonnière
Like the bouquets, the boutonnieres in your fall wedding have the potential to be something special. The rich colors will truly pop against the darker shades of the groom’s tux or suit.
3.
Cozy Blanket
Everyone has that story about sweating through a wedding ceremony in July. You won’t have that issue with a fall wedding. In Las Vegas, fall temperatures might fall in the low 80s during the day and the 60s in the evening. Perfect! Plus, you can bring along a charming blanket to snuggle up under if temperatures drop in the evening.
4.
Hot Chocolate Reception
What’s better than a cup of hot chocolate on a beautiful fall evening? A hot chocolate reception is a great way to add a little charm to your ceremony. Include a self-service drink station with fun toppings like marshmallows, peppermints or even schnapps. [2]

Scenic Background
Whether you choose a venue in Las Vegas or Maine, rest assured you are in for a backdrop that will be jaw dropping if you choose a fall wedding. Just imagine the wedding photos against the dramatic colors of fall. [3]
6.
Faux Mink Wrap
As the sun drops and the temps cool, throw on a faux mink wrap for a dramatic, old-fashioned Hollywood look.
7.
Flower Crowns
Flower crowns? Yes please.
8.
Hot Toddies or Spiked Apple Cider
Not unlike a hot chocolate station, a fall wedding makes the perfect setting for serving a spiked apple cider or even hot toddies. It will be a welcome change from the ordinary champagne and coffee. [4]
9.
Ceremony Sign
A wedding ceremony sign for a fall wedding can bring the charm. Add some fall leaves for a finishing touch.
10.
Outdoor Decor
The fall season offers so many options for gorgeous décor, from flower stuffed pumpkins to colorful acorns adorning your table.
11.
Cowboy Boots
Cowgirl or not, a fall outdoor wedding gives you license to pull on some fabulous cowboy boots for a look only you can pull off.
12.
Barn Wedding
What has more charm than a rustic barn? Or an old mining “town” with gorgeous aged wood and an outside fireplace.
13.
