Autumn Wedding Decor (without using jack-o-lanterns)
Posted by Wendy Schreider on Tue, Sep 01, 2009
SEPTEMBER-- You know what that means: the sun is setting on summer, fall is only 3 weeks away and wedding season in Boston is in full force.
How do you decorate an autumn wedding in New England? Instead of having an "obvious" fall theme, consider using fall-like colors in accent pieces like place cards, napkins, and votive candles. Using brown and gold hues with a splash of burnt orange is a great way to incorporate the idea of pumpkins without hanging jack-o-lanterns from the rafters.
Last October, an SP EVENTS couple chose a leaf motif to swathe the walls and ceiling with lighting. The golden hue was gorgeous!
Should you have guests carve a pumpkin, eat candy apples, make cornucopias, AND wear Halloween costumes just because your wedding is in October? Probably not...
