While autumn typically reminds you of things falling from trees, I say why not hang some back up there? I’m drawn to anything hanging from trees from weddings – whether it is pictures of the couple, tags, notes of well wishes or little cakes. I just can’t resist. Pretty details dangling from the branches while the fall foliage colors lightly cover the ground – how much more picturesque can it get?

During the fall it is particularly easy to pull of this type of décor. The branches are a bit barer and therefore easier to use as hooks and the weather is still warm enough to have an outdoor wedding or reception.

As you know if you’ve been reading this blog, there is no shortage of hanging paper do it yourself decorations to make for your wedding day. So pick one that works best for you!

Those orange escort cards deserve the perfect reception setting and I think I’ve found just the one. This orange and white tent is fun yet refined – the perfect balance. Plus you know I love a good paper lantern, especially in bright color and especially in clusters of the same hue. These tables include the actual fruits and extend that pattern in the paper lanterns, also both orange and circular.

I also like the family-style reception tables. They give your wedding a more laidback, comfortable style. All around perfect for this week’s orange wedding.

Getting married this fall? Or next? This forest wedding inspiration board has some great elements for you to include in your autumn ceremony. The rich textures and evergreens can easily be carried into winter as well, just move some of the big elements (not the entire forest, we like to recycle here not kill the trees) indoors. And definitely string some lanterns even if you can’t hang it from tree branches. They’d be just as adorable resting on reception tables.

When planning an outdoor forest wedding, it’s important to combine your green color palette with the natural textures and elements from your ‘great outdoors’ venue. Since your environment adds most of the natural rugged details, be sure to include some elegant and classic elements in your decorations – this is a wedding after all. We’re looking for rustic refinement.

I also just love that melding of feminine and masculine. The rugged outdoor setting adds so many masculine details that you can easily insert feminine details without seeming like a girly wedding.

It’s all about balance. But I’d consider this overly feminine aisle because, I mean who wouldn’t.
