The Magic of Autumn and Winter Weddings
Autumn brings us a feast of color, so when planning an autumn wedding, it just makes sense to use the beautiful colors of the season in your theme. The rich orange, red, gold and cream shades of the season are lush and beautiful and will create a visual impression you and your guests will remember fondly. Invitations and decorations should also be done in warm, luxurious fall colors and images with leaves, harvest imagery, and more.
The bride and groom in traditional white dress and black tuxedo will present a stunning counterpoint to the lush autumnal display or for a second wedding, seasonal colors and dress would be a nice touch. Rings for an autumn wedding could, of course, be diamonds; however, rubies, amber, and other interesting and rich stones are worthy of consideration. Flowers and the bouquet should include flowers in warm earth tones with a few rich red, yellow and orange leaves of the season mixed in. Bridesmaids' dresses should mirror these colors and you might even want to have each bridesmaid wear a different example of the beautiful colors fall has to offer.
Of course, you will want an autumn themed wedding reception with mini-pumpkins, acorn shapes, garlands of leaves and so on. Your wedding dinner can be a warm and welcoming affair with fruits of the harvest, spiced apple cider and other traditional foods and beverages of the season. See if you can get a venue with a big stone fireplace to set the scene properly.
An autumn wedding is an excellent choice for a second marriage or a later-in-life marriage. It presents an image of warmth, security, and very deep love. The choice of the season and all of the beautiful colors, scents and images that accompany it will leave a lasting and meaningful impression on all in attendance.
For a cooler and more sparkling presentation, many couples choose a winter wedding. Crisp clear skies and bright, fresh snow give an energetic backdrop to the joyous occasion. The colors of winter could be bright, cool, crisp white and blue, or a couple choosing a winter wedding might decide to mirror holiday colors with sparkling red, green and gold. For a first marriage, the bride's dress in crisp sparkling white with a bouquet of white roses would be dazzling for a winter wedding. Floral arrangements could be white roses with a few small blue accent flowers scattered amongst them, and bridesmaids dresses could be a crisp, cool blue. For the ring, a fiery diamond in a platinum setting would be a beautiful statement of devotion.
For a second marriage or a later in life marriage, a lovely, lush velvet gown in red and green would be stunning for a winter wedding. The couple might decide to use holly, evergreen, poinsettias and other flowers of the season. Bridesmaids dresses in red, green and gold would add a warm, rich, royal appearance. For the ring, a deep green emerald or dark red ruby in 24K gold would be a lasting testament to love.
