Autumn Wedding Inspiration

FALLing in love – How to plan that perfect Autumn wedding.

The air turns crisp, but the surroundings are warm in colour. Autumn sets the scene like no other season can, and there’s something really special about saying ‘I do’ in the heart of it all. 

Choosing a wedding date in Autumn means you can embrace bold or burnt orange tones, mustard yellow, deep burgundy or olive green…a colour palette that matches the rich, earthy vibes the season has to offer. 

Use nature as your inspiration!

Think rustic wooden logs, textured table linens, hessian chair sashes and of course, pumpkins & pinecones! 

Bring that cosy, warm and homely feel to your wedding. 

Being a marquee lined venue in the countryside, the Autumn themes can really come to life at Applewood Hall!

Add in extra details like fairy lights, faux candles and lanterns, alongside seasonal flowers and leafy foliage to emphasize this cosier season.

If you are looking at doing something a bit different, we have seen wedding days that incorporate a couples’ love of Halloween, day of the dead, Harry Potter, horror movies or Vikings. With quirky additions that include, skulls & skeletons, banquet style tables and floating candles, iconic villains on biscuits, and axes used to cut the cake!

Summer is often the most popular time of year to get married as many expect the weather to be better. However, being in England and through experience, there really is no guarantee with the weather at any time of year (We have held peak summer weddings where it has rained all day!) You could find there is more availability for venues and suppliers when you look at an Autumn date, and you could be just as lucky if your day does bring sunshine (or at least have the rain hold off).

With ideal spots around Applewood Hall, you can take a stroll as newlyweds and find some perfect autumnal backdrops for your photographer to get your couple shots.

Don’t forget about golden hour and capturing that seasonal magic! 

With the bridal gowns often taking the spotlight, it’s a refreshing change when the cooler months creep in, as the attire for the menswear does change… With velvet black blazers and floral ties, three-piece tweed and bowties, to deep burgundy brown suits with boots. We love to see it! 

Some final points:

-Keep it cosy. Have some blankets available for your guests, should the weather turn colder.

-Folk or ceilidh band? We have seen these becoming popular for autumnal weddings. 

-It’s bonfire season! What about having some evening sparkler photos?

-Consider timings. Autumn days mean less daylight, adjust your photo schedule accordingly.
