Summer is dying down and the end of August is just a few days away. I love everything that fall has to offer – pumpkins, foliage, firewood and apple picking. Everything the fall season brings easily makes it my favorite. But I want to take one of my last chances to plan a bright summery wedding. This week I’m picking out the perfect bright orange wedding details.

are they still oranges when they're tiny?

Since this is a summer wedding, I don’t want to just pick out orange-colored items – I want to incorporate the actual fruits. Since they’ll be in season it can be a fun and inexpensive way to add the circular shape and natural bright pops of color without a huge price tag. Plus, how adorable are they as escort cards? And the bright orange plate helps tie it all together.

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.
