Fall Wedding Inspiration

You’ve got the engagement ring, you’ve got your bride or groom, now it’s time to plan your wedding. Autumn can be a wonderful time for a wedding – it’s not as hot as summer weddings, nor as popular as spring nuptials. We’ve covered several popular fall wedding trends for you to consider as you plan your big day

Wedding dresses with whimsy

Fall is an ethereal time of year, and many brides are choosing dresses that reflect this. Popular trends from this season’s bridal fashion week include fluttery sleeves, 3D details, and off-the-shoulder gowns. Quirky details can help a bride’s personality to shine through (without verging greatly from a traditional wedding dress).

Minimalistic Wedding Décor

Fall is one of the most colorful times of the year, and many brides are choosing to let these natural colors serve as their main seasonal decoration. Avoiding cumbersome and intricate decorations is an increasingly popular decision, and can save bride’s money as well as the headache of managing multiple extensive décor options.

Fall colors highlight any wedding.

Simple and Seasonal Wedding Colors

Let your fall wedding work with the colors of the season, not against them. While it’s best to stay away from crazy-bright oranges or reds, many brides are opting to compliment the season with deep plum and burgundy tones. This shift from the typical pastel can make your fall wedding feel a little more in tune with the atmosphere outside. Metallics make a great seasonal accent, as well.

Incorporate Food that has meaning

Fall is a season for food and family, so it’s a great idea to include a few dishes that reflect your heritage. Include a special recipe from your hometown and make the menu a little more meaningful. If your wedding falls near Thanksgiving or another holiday, you might even consider incorporating some traditional holiday food in the wedding menu. Pumpkin pie is delicious any time of the year, after all!

Incorporate seasonal foliage in your bouquet

Fall is full of interesting and beautiful blooms. Venture away from the traditional bouquet with a seasonal collection of harvest-time flowers and fruits. Even small apples and squashes have become a popular item in this year’s bridal line-up! You’ll save some money by drawing on local and seasonal blossoms, and whoever catches your bouquet will be pleased with the unique arrangement.

2016 Spring Wedding Trends

According to the National Association of Wedding Ministers, 29 percent of weddings occur in the spring – a combined 23.3 percent of ceremonies are conducted in March, April or May. Spring is especially favorable in hotter climates like Texas where a summer wedding is often too warm for most guests.

If you are planning for a wedding in the coming year, here are a few 2016 spring wedding trends to get you thinking about your dream day. Get inspired for your spring 2017 wedding with some of these unique season-focused ideas.

 

THE DRESS

One of the more popular wedding gown details that we have seen this year are illusion necklines and backs that are pushing the envelope. This full-on illusion bodice combines a sexy sheer top with carefully placed lace appliqués. The romantic look is covered up in all the right places and the nude lining makes for an intriguing look. This re-embroidered, metallic lace long sleeve Reem Acra wedding dress with a circular tulle underlay is one breathtaking example of the trend.

You already have your perfect engagement ring, and now it’s time to pick out something for your husband to be. This year, we have seen an increase in the unique and ornate detailing for your man’s band. Many options feature specific detailing like beading, engraving and sculpting to add more an an awe-inspiring aesthetic appeal.
