Bright and stylish celebration - wedding in autumn style: decoration

Weddings in the fall have been quite popular among couples in love for a long time, because previously it was considered a good tradition, according to which this time of year is the best for getting married. That is why the season in question was sometimes the time for weddings in Rus'.

In the modern world, it has remained a favorite among newlyweds, second only to summer celebrations. Which is not surprising, because nature during such a period is beautiful: filled with bright colors and enchanting landscapes. We will tell you how to prepare for your wedding day if you have it planned for September, October or November.

Past and present

In ancient times, weddings were scheduled for autumn. It was believed that an autumn-style wedding brings happiness, mutual love and prosperity to the newlyweds. The harvest became the basis for a large number of festive dishes - this is a practical explanation for the popularity of wedding celebrations during this period.

You can organize an outdoor event in September, when it is warm enough outside, the sun is shining and the weather often brings a surprise in the form of “Indian summer”.

In October and November, a mixed option is relevant: the ceremony and photo shoot take place in the fresh air, and the banquet takes place in a cozy cafe, restaurant, manor with a fireplace, etc. This will add variety to the evening program and protect against sudden changes in weather typical of the autumn season.

Important Attributes

You should start with the girl's outfit. Morning clothes are a rather intimate and delicate thing; you should choose them responsibly. As a rule, the emphasis is on sensuality and tenderness - the bride should be attractive and romantic, but at the same time, the image should be stylish.

A classic and win-win option is a thin lace peignoir or chemise. An alternative solution is snow-white lace underwear. But it’s worth considering that the option with underwear is more suitable for those who have an ideal or almost ideal body, young girls who will not be embarrassed by the camera in such a revealing outfit and worry about their shape.

If the bride is shy about certain parts of her body, folds on her stomach and sides, then a well-chosen peignoir will hide flaws and highlight the advantages of her figure. The right clothes can present the bride in the most favorable light.

An original option would be a photo shoot in a men's shirt. The bride will look very sexy and mysterious, and no one will notice any figure flaws, if any. Photos with a men's shirt will turn out to be daring, romantic, and erotic - the main thing is the mood. In addition, this is a fairly budget option for the bride’s morning outfit, because you can even take the groom’s shirt.

Of course, the bride’s morning chores do not end with choosing clothes, because there is still makeup, hairstyle, and manicure ahead. The bride needs to get a good night's sleep the night before - a rested face looks better in the photo, and the makeup will go on smoother.

The bride’s personal preferences decide everything - from the degree of candidness of the photos to their number. Feel very confident and comfortable. It is better to choose a photographer you already know for this - this way the bride can relax and the morning will pass in a relaxed, joyful atmosphere.

General points during preparation

A wedding in the “Autumn” style takes place with a deep immersion in the theme or superficial use of elements in the decor and outfits of the participants. The basis of the autumn theme could be:

• color spectrum;
• attributes characteristic of the season;
• event script.

An autumn color palette is an easy option to implement. A variety of natural shades of red, orange, yellow, brown, burgundy creates a bright color and emphasizes the solemnity of the moment. Early autumn adds turquoise and greenery to the colors. Shades of blue will not be out of place.

In November, a muted color scheme, “dilution” of the color map with gray shades of the approaching winter, etc. are relevant. Choosing autumn colors allows you to introduce elements of eco-style and a “school” theme. When preparing a celebration, you can include rustic attributes and elements of “country” style.

Glowing pumpkins, masquerade costumes, mystical images, and unexpected elements in the interior and accessories are appropriate for a Halloween wedding. The school theme will require the organizers to have the appropriate surroundings: desks with chalk boards, textbooks, and adherence to the party dress code.

Autumn wedding color

Feel free to choose all the colors of September - browns, coppers and oranges. However, no one bothers you to give preference to unusual combinations. Try combining wine and berry tones with soft beige. Dark purple will highlight the shade of a ripe pumpkin, and the standard palette of bright red, orange and green can easily be made original by muting it. Choose non-obvious color combinations - for example, a clear morning sky over a wheat field.

Invitation cards

Invitations play an important role in creating the mood of celebration. This is the first thing guests will see when they learn about the upcoming event. Standard cards for a themed celebration are inappropriate; here you need to be creative.

You can use the idea of ​​an eco-style invitation. It will be enough to design a card using an autumn leaf, a drop of rain; arrange it in the form of a scroll tied with a multi-colored garland of leaves. The layout can be supplemented with chestnuts, apples, fallen leaves, nuts, sunflowers, pumpkins, rowan branches, and autumn landscapes.

Atmospheric photos

In conclusion, a few words about wedding photographs that will remain with you for a lifetime. Multi-colored leaves and soft sunlight are the perfect backdrop for fairy-tale shots. Even if it rains on the holiday, believe me, it will not be a hindrance for a professional photographer. And most importantly, enjoy the preparations and the wedding itself!

Use natural materials to decorate invitations - in the fall you can find a lot of red and tan carved sheets to decorate cards. Valentina Gats

The school theme will appear in invitations designed in the form of a school board or notebook sheet. For the Halloween style, you can use non-standard solutions: for example, glue a “scarecrow” for the guest to the inside of the invitation card.

The palette of invitations uses bright and muted tones. It all depends on the overall flavor of the event and the paraphernalia used. You can pack the message in an envelope made of kraft paper, thick cardboard, white or brown. Leather straps, ribbons with dried leaves, bows, ears of wheat, late wildflowers - you can choose any suitable option for decorating the front of the invitation in the chosen theme.

Photography in the rain

Despite the bad weather, a wedding photo shoot in the rain can become a real highlight of the family photo archive. Firstly, rain during marriage registration has always been a good omen.

And, in addition, it serves as an occasion to use original accessories that can transform the most prim wedding ceremony:

• Umbrella. Not only will it help you not get wet, but it will also decorate your wedding photo. The more umbrellas, the better. In the photo where one bride is posing, you can use a vintage umbrella. Also interesting are funny group wedding photos in which guests hold umbrellas made in the same color scheme. And the photo in which the groom carefully holds an umbrella over the happy bride exudes romance.
• Rubber boots. Rubber shoes have long ceased to be associated exclusively with dirt and bad weather. In one of her collections of wedding dresses, the queen of wedding fashion, designer Vera Wang, suggested using rubber boots instead of elegant shoes. And now rubber boots are one of the most fashionable trends. Bright rubber boots can be found in the wardrobe of many fashionistas. A photo shoot in them will be cool, unusual and playful. Moreover, no slush will be scary in such shoes.
• Raincoats. Colorful capes against the background of a gray autumn day and fading nature will enliven the frame. Red, yellow, crimson, turquoise, orange raincoats can become such an accent.

PS When choosing shades of umbrellas or boots, don’t be afraid of eye-catching colors. Such elements of wedding decor will look stylish and appropriate. They can be multi-colored, with all kinds of prints. So in a single color scheme, matched to the tone of the groom’s tie, boutonniere, and bride’s bouquet. A little diligence and time spent searching for accessories, and even rain will become a successful element of wedding style.

Dress code

Let's take a closer look at outfit ideas for a wedding in autumn style.

For girls

Be careful about the length of the dress of the bride and her bridesmaids - you cannot allow the hero of the occasion and guests of the event to freeze in thin short dresses. At the same time, long trains can quickly lose their “marketable” appearance due to dirt and walking through puddles. A good option is a knee-length dress with long sleeves or three-quarter sleeves. It looks stylish, won't let you freeze, and doesn't restrict your movements.

Lovers of the “classics” should not give up the traditional white wedding dress. At the same time, it is important to understand that an abundance of rhinestones, lace, satin ribbons, ruffles and frills are not always appropriate - it all depends on the degree of immersion in the theme of the celebration.

The trend of the season is a simple dress with a luxurious fur coat, jacket, and openwork cape. For a dress silhouette with a full skirt, a bolero made of thick woolen fabric is appropriate.

Romantic people will choose an elegant shawl. A denser “top” will help out in the late months of autumn, when the coolness is quite noticeable. The choice of materials here is great: natural, faux fur, tweed, knitted fabric, etc.

If the bride chooses a floor-length dress for a banquet, it can be complemented with a light cape. Take into account the features of the bride’s figure and remember that boleros and shawls can visually enlarge the shoulders. If you need to emphasize your waist, do not refuse a belt on a jacket or coat.

Attention! Consider colors such as champagne, cream, shades of beige, ivory, and ivory. The main dress and the additional top element can match in color or create a bold contrast.

Chocolate, burgundy, red, orange, and green accents in the form of capes, belts, and boas look noble and elegant. Bridesmaids can choose bright or more muted tones of the dress, ranging from restrained and sedate purple to yellow, orange, and red.

Bouquets, wrist bracelets (as a more practical option, especially in cloudy weather), the general style of the dress, color palette, neck band, headdress, etc. are used as a unifying element.

An additional accessory will be a multi-colored or plain umbrella (necessarily high-quality, resistant to gusts of wind!), and a scarf that matches the style. A wreath of leaves will decorate a veil of any length and enliven the images of your friends.

Autumn is a good time for brocade and velvet. In such dresses, young ladies will not freeze and will look elegant and noble. For footwear, we recommend closed shoes or boots according to the season, as well as ankle boots. If you're going for country elements, pair a short denim or leather jacket over a dress with cowboy boots.

An autumn wedding in lilac tones is an excellent occasion to wear rubber boots of the appropriate shade. By adding this element to the image of the newlywed and her friends, you can arrange a fun photo shoot.

Regardless of which model you choose as your main one, always have a “shift” in case of force majeure. You can change into it at a banquet if the first couple loses its former attractiveness due to rain, snow and street dirt. Light shoes will also be needed for those who plan to hold a banquet indoors.

Attention! Gloves and a hat for an autumn wedding are not just accessories. They will keep girls from freezing and protect their hair and hands from rain and piercing wind.

Jacquard, velvet and taffeta are dense fabrics ideal for cool weather. If the style of the dress allows, choose elbow-length or even shoulder-length gloves. Hats made of cashmere and satin are also relevant within the framework of the autumn theme.

For men

Soft fabrics with a clear texture are an excellent choice for men. Thick cotton materials with casual stripes and other simple prints are indispensable for the warm autumn season. A velvet or corduroy jacket with a bright decorative element (neck scarf, boutonniere, bow tie) is quite versatile - it can be combined with a classic bride’s look, or used within rustic and country themes.

Experiments in saturation and depth of shades are welcome. An interesting option for the groom is to wear a coffee or mustard colored jacket.

In general, the palette of shades includes such basic colors as:

• classic black;
• grey;
• rich blue;
• Bordeaux;
• brown.

Tweed suits, checkered motifs, combined with a matching light-colored shirt (plain or with a small pattern) - the set for an autumn wedding combines practicality and originality. Instead of a plain jacket, you can wear a vest. For a more informal look, the groom can wear a sweater or cardigan.

An important element of a man's look is shoes. You should opt for warm, comfortable models for the cold season. Suede is one of the best materials for autumn celebrations. It is suitable for almost any temperature conditions, soft and comfortable. In dry and warm weather, you can appear before guests in patent leather shoes. Fans of experimentation will love the option of bright shoes and socks, creating a visual contrast with the main color of the suit.

The autumn theme of the wedding allows you to create interesting combinations with knitted scarves, boutonnieres, instead of which sprigs of rowan, acorn, and ears of wheat are used.

The college style generally matches the nature of the event. Choose sweaters with unusual stripes for the groom's friends to create a unified ensemble, or bright pants with suspenders. Everything that guests of the evening will need can be found in casual clothing stores.

If you want to add a vintage touch to men's looks, add tweed or corduroy caps to your ensembles. Instead of light shirts, you can use small checks - the basis for a casual style is ready.

Folk signs

• September is the most favorable autumn month for marriage. It promises a happy, strong, quiet, harmonious, calm and long-term family life, with mutual respect between spouses for each other. A new life is the beginning of a good thing;
• October is the least suitable month for marriage. Although it will bring wealth to the family, it will also reward it with difficulties, disputes and conflicts;
• November - will present the spouses with a happy, peaceful, carefree, measured and financial life;
• This time of year was considered the most suitable for marriage. Despite the fact that autumn will bring difficulties into the lives of husband and wife, if they can overcome them together, then the family will be truly strong, happy and harmonious. It also promises wealth for lovers, although the path to it will be full of labor and work.

An autumn wedding can become a truly soulful and warm holiday. The main thing is to carefully prepare for it, plan everything in advance and remember the possible vagaries of the weather. We hope that we have helped with advice and wish you a colorful and memorable celebration!

Decor options

Interior design and outdoor event design has its own characteristics. You can combine an outdoor banquet and an open-air registration ceremony, move the celebration indoors, leaving only for a photo shoot - there are not so many options, and for each of them it is possible to include elements of an autumn theme.

If the wedding date falls in September at the height of Indian summer, feel free to put up a tent or gazebo in which you can gather guests. You can also head out of town at the restaurant with terrace. Decorate the hall and the surrounding area - and you are guaranteed to be insured against the vagaries of the weather. Take care of heating devices, blankets and umbrellas for guests (they can be given as gifts, with the emblem of the bride and groom), and rubber boots in case of heavy rain.

Write down the dress code of the event in the text of the invitation, warn guests about the planned route if the wedding in the Golden Autumn style includes a walk through the forest with a picnic. Modern technologies make it possible to brighten up any bad weather and turn a stormy day into a bright, memorable event.

Autumn wedding decor used to create the appropriate mood indoors and outdoors:

• baskets with fresh fruits and vegetables;
• bright autumn leaves - in the form of floral compositions, paths, decorative elements of walls, ceilings, door and window openings, garlands;
• flowers of rich autumn tones - gerberas, freesias, chrysanthemums, asters, handmade roses from fallen leaves, etc.;
• ears of wheat, cereals, dried flowers;
• candles in cream, golden, wine shades;
• bags of dried herbs;
• autumn framing for frames (photos, paintings, etc.).

Rustic style requires the inclusion of appropriate motifs: wicker fences, bags of grain, sunflowers, textile decorative elements. A Halloween wedding is, first of all, a hoax and a game that you can immerse yourself in with the help of various special effects.

In addition to the burning pumpkins that are traditionally used to decorate tables and window sills, glow-in-the-dark toys, various masks and themed costumes are acceptable.

The main thing is not to forget about the wedding itself and not to distract attention from the main heroes of the occasion. The same applies to the school theme - set accents, but do not turn the wedding ceremony into a graduation party. It is advisable to entrust wedding decorations in the fall to professionals. In this case, all elements will be selected correctly.

Gifts for guests

A wedding in the fall is a reason to please your guests with delicious or healthy themed gifts, but don’t forget to decorate them beautifully:

• jam, honey
• pickles
• apples in caramel
• homemade cookies
• good quality coffee
• apple or pear cider
• spice jars
• soft blankets
• warm socks
• candles with autumn scents (but remember that the smell is an individual matter, choose the most neutral one)

Table and festive meal

Guests will be inspired by the theme of the event if for each of them you prepare a personalized dried leaf with a signature and put it on a plate instead of a place card. Another interesting option for accommodating guests is to place an apple with a name insert or sticker, or a small pumpkin next to the place.

An abundance of foliage, seasonal plants, vegetables, and fruits is appropriate on autumn wedding tables. The more magnificent the garlands, wreaths and other compositions, the more beautiful and rich the banquet area will look. If your gathering space lacks aroma, add spices and candles with warm autumn scents.

The holiday menu can be placed on a chalk board, hung on the wall, decorated with a garland of leaves or a flower arrangement. The chairs are decorated with thick flowing fabric of rich shades, textile materials (linen, cotton) - plain and printed. To create a romantic or vintage atmosphere, muted colors and motifs, delicate patterns without pronounced contrasts are characteristic.

It is better to treat guests with warm and hot dishes. An abundance of ice cream and cold desserts is not suitable for the autumn menu - it is enough to limit yourself to fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc.

A working fireplace, a specially organized mulled wine bar on the terrace, gatherings by the fire with smoked cheese on skewers - the more “warming” elements are present in the celebration format, the more comfortable and cozy the guests will feel.

A wedding cake decorated with garlands of maple leaves and flowers, made in the shape of a large pumpkin, basket or haystack - modern technologies make it possible to bring any culinary fantasy to life. A multi-tiered cake can be decorated with spikelets, apples, grapes, candles, and a branded emblem made from the letters of the newlyweds’ names. The top of the cake can be supplemented with figures of the newlyweds - for a country wedding, a composition with a rich harvest and themed costumes of the bride and groom is appropriate.

Room decoration

Original ideas for an autumn wedding involve creating coziness in the room. It is important to remember the associations associated with autumn - it is a rich harvest.

The table should be decorated with grapes, pears and pumpkins. A good idea would be to use autumn leaves. They are sewn to tablecloths and curtains.

Even place cards for guests can be unusual and bright if you choose the shape of a pear or apple for them or make them from colored paper.

The bride's bouquet

The autumn theme allows for brightness in the shades of floral compositions. This applies not only to baskets and vases of flowers that you place outdoors or inside the hall. Catchy accents and rich shades are also appropriate for the bride's bouquet.

If the hero of the occasion loves peonies, it is good to use them as a base. Berries, cones, decorative twigs, velvet and satin ribbons will highlight the beauty of the buds and add luxury to the festive bouquet. Sunflowers, roses, spikelets – the chosen theme suggests a variety of options. Don’t be afraid to go overboard with color and add similar details to the groom’s boutonniere, bridesmaids’ bracelets or wreaths, and room decor.

Autumn accessories

Details can enhance the atmosphere or ruin it, so choose them carefully. For example, fall wedding invitations may directly reference the season or only hint at it. In the first case, use leaves, acorns, apples and everything that this time of year is associated with in your design. In the second, it’s enough to choose an autumn shade and make the design neutral. Supplement your invitations with envelopes and stamps (just not any kind, look for ones with the illustrations you need).

Entertainment

Prepare the event script, memorable gifts and prizes in advance (golden apples, aromatic bags, keychains with autumn compositions, etc.). Competitions may include:

• Endurance competitions - tug of war, pillow fights, firewood collection and high-speed harvesting on a pre-prepared site.
• Autumn quizzes.
• Creative competitions for the best craft, creating a composition of flowers and leaves.
• Terrain orientation, etc.

Current ideas

1. Ears. If you find a field that has already been reaped and the crops have been baled, you will be able to create some amazing photographs. Such pictures will not only be very expressive, but also full of symbolism. It is no coincidence that newlyweds are greeted with a loaf of bread - it always symbolizes wealth. A photo session held on a harvested field, against the backdrop of sheaves, will be remembered for a long time.

Pumpkin is another symbol of family wealth, and in addition, transformation (remember the carriage from the fairy tale about Cinderella!). Use pumpkins as decorations, seats, and various stands.
3. Apples. This is where the real rampant imagination ! An apple is a symbol of love, which means this fruit is always appropriate in wedding photographs. If you manage to find an apple orchard with ripe red apples for a photo shoot, consider yourself lucky. After all, such fruits can turn out to be a real carpet for newlyweds, and photographs against the backdrop of branches bending under the weight of apples always look incredibly stylish.
4. Leaves. Autumn foliage is another beneficial backdrop for creating great wedding photos. Here you can also show your imagination and demonstrate your skills. Pictures of the couple against the backdrop of sun-drenched foliage look ideal. the photo shoot take place on a windy day ? Great, there is always a chance to take a photo at the moment when the wind picks up dry leaves to shower the lovers with them. Autumn foliage can provide a lot of photography ideas.

Tips for conducting a photo shoot

To make your fall photo shoot great, follow these few tips:

• Contact professionals only. Many people understand this fact, but it would be useful to remind you. In autumn, the weather is most often cloudy and rainy - factors in which you need to be able to properly set up your camera and choose the right angles. So be sure to look at photographers' portfolios and choose those who already have experience photographing in bad weather.
• Use color. Often, newlyweds wear a light dress and a dark suit. Against the backdrop of crimson, yellow, green, orange hues of foliage and a clear blue sky, the restrained tones of the young people’s clothes will look delightful, and the pictures will turn out stylish.
• Find the perfect location. In addition to the fact that autumn colors can decorate everything around, parks and squares can have well-groomed corners in which the beauty of the season is revealed to the fullest. This could be a bench among many trees, a descent to a pond, flower plantings or interesting installations. Often photographers know about such places, but it’s better to prepare yourself: take a walk before the wedding day through the planned photo shoot locations.
• Create comfort. Autumn time, no matter how warm or cold it is, is associated with home comfort for many. During this period, we begin to wrap ourselves in warm blankets and drink hot tea. Have a real tea party against the backdrop of autumn colors. Bring a small table and chairs with you as props.

How to get beautiful and natural photos: practical advice for lovers

The concept of naturalness is very complex and broad. In order to look good in a photo, you need to be able to control your body and face, understand how to hold this or that photographic prop in your hands. “Act as if there is no camera here,” “Be more alive,” and similar phrases are not advice. We hope that the recommendations of a professional photographer, tested in practice many times, will really help you:

The main goal for lovers is to achieve maximum ease. Feel free to express your feelings: more touching, hugging, exchanging glances - all this helps to distract from unnecessary thoughts and focus on each other;

• improvise - laugh, act like children - jump and run as much as possible. The photographer cannot make you move, but it is the dynamics that will make your photographs alive and real;
• When walking, look at your feet as little as possible so that your face is visible. It is best to look at each other or to the side.

A unique look for a plus size woman

The stereotype about the beauty of thin girls is becoming a thing of the past. An overweight woman can look no worse. It's not about the forms, it's about what's inside.

Beauty comes from within. Forget about proportions and take a look at these women. Aren't they beach goddesses?

What does a plump lady need to outshine any thin woman? Beautifully styled hair, glasses, a swimsuit that fits your figure, and a little arrogance. The more confident the model feels, the better she will look.

A professional photographer will confirm: the main thing is the content, not the cover.

Many slender women are not suitable for modeling - they do not know how to express emotions. Complexity is the worst enemy of a photo shoot.

Where to begin

Planning a fall wedding should start with choosing a date. The charm of the golden age, alas, does not last forever. In addition, traditional autumn changes in the weather can make adjustments to the celebration scenario or completely change it radically. Therefore, it is better to plan a wedding for the first half of autumn, while the colors are still bright and the climate is warm.

Important: if the wedding is scheduled for September, you should take into account possible changes in the weather and immediately book a restaurant or banquet hall. If you still want to be united with nature, then you need to take care of arranging a waterproof and heated tent. There, in chilly weather, young people and guests will feel comfortable.

Having decided on the date, you can begin to directly organize the celebration itself:

1. Choice of style and theme.
2. Creating images of young people.
3. Determining the decor for the hall, tables, room or area.
4. Menu creation.
5. Ideas for photos.

Of course, to do everything professionally, you can contact wedding organizers, entrusting all the work to specialists. But it is worth studying the main aspects and issues that you will face. This will help the young people themselves better understand the upcoming action, make adjustments, relieve disappointments and give unforgettable memories for a lifetime. For those who have decided to organize their own autumn wedding, this information will help them do everything correctly and with a minimum of losses.
