Standout Fall Wedding Invitations

Ideas for fall wedding invitation
Colors: You can choose any color you want for your wedding invitations. The traditional colors are cream, white or beige with black. These days, many brides are using the wedding colors all the way through the planning, such as for the wedding stationery. In case you would like to stay traditional and only add a bit of modern style, you can use fall colors to accentuate the invitation, rather than overwhelming it.

These colors can be used on your borders or across swirls, shapes and the designs for the invitation itself. A few of the popular color choices for a fall wedding include red, orange, dark yellow and all brown shades. Of course, you can simply use one of these colors as the primary shade for the stationery and then use white, black or other hues to soften the images.

Themes: Apart from selecting the right colors for the stationery, you could use themed invitations. As you can imagine, the most obvious theme for weddings in the fall would include leaves. This means that your fall wedding invitations could have colored or falling leaves. You can find different types of stationery on the market with this particular wedding theme.

 

 So, besides the leaves you can also use trees or pumpkins. One more theme to consider would be invitations with fall flowers. This is usually a great idea since you can select the same flowers for the invitations like the ones in the wedding bouquets, centrepieces and flower arrangements.

Fall Wedding Invitations and Ideas

Not only is Fall time to go back to school but it can be a great time to get married. The too-hot days of summer have passed and you're left with warm afternoons and cool evenings, perfect for your wedding reception. Fall colors lean more to the rich earthy tones and your menu can be a hearty fall feast.

Invitations
Autumn wedding invitations can range in colors from a warm yellow to deep wine to earthy reds and browns. As the leaves are changing colors you can match those colors with your wedding invitations. Whether you choose a classical and elegant invention or a modern look, you can use these colors of the season for your Fall wedding.


Fall has a couple of holidays you should look out for. Labor Day is the first Monday in Fall. This might be a great time to have your wedding and take advantage of the extra day off. If you plan to have our wedding around Labor Day, just make sure to note that with your wedding invitation as some might not realize the date of the holiday.

Fall is also back to school time. If you're planning on including children as flower girls or ring bearers, you should talk to their parents early to make sure they can make it to your wedding.

Ceremony and reception
While the days may still be warm, the nights in Fall can be chilly. Your best bet is either an early outdoor ceremony earlier in the afternoon and then a reception inside or an all indoor ceremony. Make a note in your wedding invitation about your ceremony and reception plans so guests can be prepared and dress accordingly.

Pepper some autumn flavors in your reception menu. A salad with roasted pumpkin seeds or a butternut squash soup can be a perfect start to an autumn meal. Entrees should be hot and hearty to keep your guests warm during the start of this chilly season. A coffee bar might be a nice touch to enjoy with your wedding cake, too.

At the bar, stock a couple of hearty red wines. You might also want to make your signature cocktail a warm drink - a hot apple cider perhaps? Or offer the apple cider as a chilled drink while the sun is still up and then offer a hot apple cider as an after dinner treat.

The chill in the air in Fall can be the perfect way to make your reception a warm cozy affair. Take your cues from the colors of the season and you'll have a wonderful fall reception. Be mindful not to over lap with the other special occasions in Fall and you'll have a wedding reception that will be long remembered.
