Plan the Perfect Fall Barn Wedding

The Barn at Belle Hills • September 5, 2023

It may still be hot and humid outside, but autumn is approaching. Pumpkin spice is back in coffee shops, stores display Halloween decor and autumn candles, and football season is kicking in. If you’re one of the many grooms or brides-to-be dreaming of a fall wedding, here is everything you need to know to make your autumnal dreams come true.

Location, Location, Location

One of the significant perks of hosting a fall wedding is the natural foliage. Autumn is stunning! Golden yellows, crimson reds, and sweet oranges adorn the trees all around the country. The sun feels warm in the crisp autumn air. September, October, and November bring picturesque natural beauty to everyday life.

 

You’ll want a wedding venue in a location that allows you to appreciate the fall characteristics we all know and love. The Barn at Belle Hills is situated on the rolling hills of Northern Kentucky, giving you panoramic views of the stunning fall foliage. Consider venue locations that show off the natural elements that make your wedding fall cozy.

Cozy Fall Color Palette

Embrace all that fall has to offer by bringing the stunning shades of the season indoors. Find inspiration in nature with a red, yellow, and orange palette. Tone things down with soft neutrals like brown, beige, and gold. Or go for deep shades like emerald, burgundy, and plum. Use these delicious hues to inspire everything from your decor to the groom’s tie.

Seasonal Delights

No fall wedding would be complete without the quintessential autumn treats! Delight your guests by serving their favorite warm, comfortable dishes throughout the cocktail hour and reception. Everyone will talk about the hot apple cider, squash soup, and pumpkin pie for weeks. Spiced scents will fill your reception hall as your loved ones devour their favorite seasonal treats!

Festive Decor

No matter what direction you take your wedding decor, there is always room for seasonal touches. Some of our favorite ideas are:

 

  • Fall florals: Give your floral arrangements an autumn touch with seasonal flowers. Sunflowers, calla lilies, and pampas grass all make stunning additions to bouquets, table centerpieces, and other floral decor.
  • Comfy textures: Make your guests feel like they are in a cozy autumn cabin by including various textures, like knits, faux fur, burlap, and velvet in your decor.
  • Ambient lighting: Candles and string lights will cast a soothing golden glow across your barn wedding reception hall.

Autumn Activities

Treat your guests by including some of their favorite autumn activities at your wedding! Host a bonfire, hand out fleece blankets, roast marshmallows, or pose for pictures with a rustic fall photo backdrop. Everyone will love the extra thought you put into creating the perfect fall wedding experience.
