Fall is a wonderful time for an outdoor wedding or even a reception. Depending on the location, the outdoor temperatures are still warm but not blazing hot as it is during the months of summer. Rain can be a problem in the fall, but inclement weather can be an issue no matter the month. It is worth taking a chance on an outdoor wedding in autumn, especially if a pavilion or shelter is available. Try the following ideas for outdoor fall wedding decorations. Along with the natural beauty of colorful fall foliage, these lovely outdoor fall wedding decorations will help make lasting memories of a beautiful celebration.
Beautiful Lighted Wedding Decorations for Day or Night
Lighted faux potted trees make lovely outdoor decorations for a fall wedding, especially in the evening. If an electrical connection is accessible, make lighted faux trees using large branches, heavy ceramic pots, floral foam, and strings of lights. Also required is outdoor spray paint in white, gold, or another color of your choice, dried Spanish moss, a hot glue gun, and spray-on flecks of iridescent glitter.
Begin making these outdoor fall wedding decorations by spraying clean branches with paint in a color of your choice. Allow the paint to dry completely. Once it dries, lightly coat the painted tree branches with spray-on flecks of light-catching iridescent glitter. While the glitter dries, pack the pots with florist foam.
Firmly push the trunk of the branches into the pots of florist foam. Cover the foam with a generous amount of Spanish moss, and attach it with hot glue. Decorate the branches with strings of small white, amber, or other colored lights. These beautiful fall wedding decorations will cost a fraction of store-bought wedding decorations, and they can be reused for porch or outdoor room décor that can be personalized for spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Unique Wine Goblet Tabletop Decorations for an Outdoor Fall Wedding
When looking for outdoor wedding reception decorations for fall, forget about store-bought candleholders. Wine goblets can be used instead, and they are more fitting for the occasion. Best of all they can be embellished to match the theme color of the wedding, and they will look absolutely beautiful for a fraction of the cost of fancy ready-made candleholders.
To make wine goblet tabletop decorations for an outdoor fall wedding reception, buy votive candles in a color of your choice for each wine goblet. You will also need flat glass marbles that will compliment the colors of the candles. Iridescent flat glass marbles will look beautiful with any color. Place the candles in the wine goblets, and surround them with the flat glass marbles. Leave plenty of room for lighting the candles. As they burn down they will beautifully illuminate the marbles, and the tall sides of the goblets will protect the flames from breezes that would otherwise put out the candles.
Fall Wedding Arbor Decorations that are Sure to Impress
When having an outdoor fall wedding, consider a wire arbor or a series of arbors decorated with fall flowers and foliage. Arbors make fantastic fall wedding decorations, and they can be used as the backdrop for exchanging vows or as decorations that serve a purpose. Several large wire arbors can be lined up in the aisle to separate sections of chairs. If one for each row would be too costly, skip rows to achieve the same look. Either way this will result in a dramatic and stunning tunnel of beautiful fall flowers and foliage. Imagine a homemade pergola covered in eye-catching blooms. It will look amazing!
Use these easy do-it-yourself fall wedding decorations to save money, and create exactly what you want in celebration of your special day. Assembling the decorations can be fun, and it provides the opportunity to have it your way without spending a small fortune on an outdoor fall wedding.
