4 Fall Wedding Ideas for a Barn-Style Wedding
Autumn frequently ranks as many people's favorite season. With its cooler weather, vibrant leaves, and festive holidays like Thanksgiving, it's no wonder why many love it! It's also a popular time to tie the knot partly due to the comfortable weather and stunning backdrop of fall foliage. If you're having a fall wedding, there are many fall wedding ideas to incorporate into your day. From fall photo ops to beautiful rustic decor and seasonally inspired dishes, your barn-style wedding will encapsulate the beauty of the season.
Capture your love in fall-inspired photos
Fall offers excellent photo ops for our couples! While your guests enjoy cocktail hour, you and your sweetheart can enjoy the season's beauty with a photo session around the property. Begin just outside the rustic, wood-paneled barn, surrounded by charming hay bales. Then, head under a tree's canopy to capture your love beneath the fall red, orange, and yellow foliage. Lastly, consider snapshots along an ambient lantern-lit pathway, hand in hand with your soulmate, to symbolize the path ahead that you'll travel together.
Infuse fall decor into every wedding detail
Fall is a beautiful time to host your wedding! To capture the season's allure, consider incorporating fall-themed decor in your wedding from the ceremony to the reception. A few ways you can do this include:
- Line your aisle with sunflowers, pumpkins, and gourds. You'll love walking down this festive path!
- Incorporate fall colors throughout your reception space, from linens to signage. Deep orange, rich burgundy, and majestic gold hues encapsulate the season.
- Use fresh apples with a small tag attached to the stem as place cards for your guests. It's a simple, eco-friendly design that serves the dual purpose of a fresh local snack for your guests to take home!
- Set up a firepit area for guests to gather after their meal to enjoy the early dusk among loved ones and new friends. Incorporating a s'mores station will really up your ante!
Savor the seasonal flavors of fall
During the fall, harvests are abundant, and fresh local provisions are plentiful! It's the perfect season for farm-to-table dining. Your guests will enjoy seasonal root vegetables, roasted squash dishes, warming soups, hearty meats, and spiced desserts. To add to your autumn farm-to-table presentation, serve food on rustic wooden boards and consider fall-inspired garnishes: candied pecans, fresh cranberries, rosemary sprigs, and cinnamon sticks galore!
Illuminate love with ambient lighting
Shorter days are a cornerstone of autumn. Utilizing ambient lighting in your rustic barn wedding creates a cozy, inviting vibe that mirrors the soft glow of the autumn sunset. Consider including candles in the table centerpieces for your fall wedding so guests can enjoy a candlelit dinner. Further, you might place lanterns in the barn's corners to add to the rustic elegance. Of course, autumn wedding lighting is only complete once twinkle lights are strung along the ceiling beams to mimic the magic of a starry fall eve.
