Every season is special in its own way, Maggie Sottero Destinations RD1068 and the same can be said about weddings! Each lucky couple makes choices about colors and decor that will make their day unique while hopefully expressing a bit of their personalities. These choices can be based on many things, including the season the wedding will take place in. A few seasonal touches can make a wedding come together in such a way that your guests will be wondering how on earth you thought of just the right things to make the day perfect!

Color or the lack of color is an important part of any wedding. Black and white is a very clean look and is suitable for any season. On the other hand, some colors just don't fit certain seasons as well as others do. Pastel colors for a fall wedding may be beautiful, but warmer and deeper colors normally associated with this time of year just seem more natural for an autumn theme. Favorite fall colors include deep reds, golds, oranges, browns, greens and even darker shades of blue. Think of the colors you see in nature at this time of year in the turning leaves, harvested crops, and seasonal flowers. This doesn't mean you can't dress your bridesmaids in pastel pink for an October wedding (pink is the color of October's birthstone after all), but you may not get the same warm autumn feeling.

Flowers are another way to incorporate fall into your wedding day. Seasonal blooms for this time of year include mums, asters, sunflowers, and even the most romantic of all flowers - roses. Flowers can be included in your wedding as bouquets, ceremony decorations, table centerpieces, and cake decorations. These flowers can be fresh or silk depending on your preference. If none of these flowers appeal to you, consider using lilies or another type of flower in a color to match or complement your bridesmaid dresses.

Fruits can be used as part of your decorating as well, and replace flowers in your centerpieces. Instead of a colorful bouquet of flowers, think about how inviting a large bowl of ripe red apples would look,Maggie Sottero Destinations RD1069 nestled in a beautiful glass bowl and centered on each table! The smell of those fresh apples would be sure to freshen up your reception hall as well.

Wedding favors are a great way to add a touch of autumn to your special day. If you don't want to make your own favors, a wide variety are available with a fall theme such as favor boxes, soaps, candles, coasters and bookmarks, to name a few. Some of the more popular fall symbols used for wedding favors include leaves and apples. These favors are just another way to tie the whole autumn theme together to make your day dazzling.

Fall is a wonderful time of year to get married. Beautiful colors abound and can be an inspiration to your wedding decorating choices. Remember to keep your decorating simple - too many different items can create an overpowering or confusing appearance. If you're planning a fall wedding, think about the feeling you want to be surrounded with on your special day and then decide what colors and decorations to use that will create that feeling. Most importantly, have fun with your planning, it will all fly by so quickly!
