Fall Is Just Around The Corner!

With summer sadly coming to an end, we get to cheer up again with the thoughts of a beautiful fall wedding complete with all the radiant colours and whimsical sights and smells that encompass this magical season. To really capture it's beauty, here are some ideas and tips on how to mesh the wonderful traditions of a wedding with the sensational season of fall.

Photos
With fall weddings it’s important to capture the beauty of nature, so having your photographer take pictures of the bouquets and leaves will make for beautiful pictures.

Fall is a cozy season, so why not embrace the moment and cuddle up next to your love with a blanket? Take a look at this adorable shot!

Décor

Hues of deep purples and burgundy are beautiful, but make them pop with light colours to compliment them. A beautiful white pumpkin with gorgeous florals arranged on top will grab your guests’ attention as an elegant centrepiece. 

Dress style

Even if it’s not cold outside just yet, a long sleeve dress always captures attention. It looks elegant and reflects the feeling of fall all at once.

Favours

In keeping with the warm and cozy feeling of fall, giving your guests party favours that reflect the season, such as family recipes or comfort items are always a hit. Check out these cute jars filled with apple cinnamon jam and apple cider mix!

Stay tuned for our next post!

Fall Wedding Ideas

September and October have been a complete whirlwind for us! Wedding season does not end in the summer anymore, as many more couples are choosing to get married in the fall. Autumn brings with it cooler weather and breathtaking scenery as the leaves start to change colour and the city gets overtaken with beautiful pops of red, orange and yellow.

 

Fall weddings invite couples to be creative with their décor, using more rich and bold colours, such as red, purple and burgundy. Some couples are choosing to use less flowers in their centerpieces and opt for beautiful manzanita or birch branches instead. This helps add to the fall feel and is more cost effective as well. To further compliment the fall theme, couples are also adding freshly picked pumpkins and gourds to the centerpieces or placing them around the venue.

Furthermore, autumn weddings mean that couples can be more creative with their food.  Spiked hot apple cider with cinnamon sticks can be served as a signature drink and chewy caramel apples look amazing as part of a dessert table or a wedding favour. For the wedding cake, traditional white cakes are replaced by decadent dark chocolate cakes or naked cakes, which are inspired by the bare trees of the season.

Finally, the best part of fall weddings are the stunning photos. The gorgeous fall colours provide a dramatic, natural backdrop. As well, rain is no longer a deterrent either, as white and clear umbrellas look super cute in photos.

Lesley-Ann and Glen's Elegant Gold & Ivory Wedding

All weddings are special and magical in their own way. They bring a couple's different and unique personalities to life, and it's truly breathtaking to see the beautiful reflections of them infused throughout their wedding, whether it be through the attire they choose to wear, the cake, the foods that they chose to serve, and especially through their décor.

Décor definitely adds to the aesthetic beauty of any wedding, and there are so many ways to personalize your décor so that it speaks for the two of you. What's your favourite colour? Material? Texture? Memory? Think about these magic touches and have them tell your love story at your wedding.

Lesley-Ann and Glen's Toronto wedding captured by Lisa Mark Photography and planned by Fab Fete Event Planning, was the perfect mix of elegance and fun. Held at The Rosewater Restaurant, the affair was an elegant one, infused with stunning gold and ivory details throughout. While the wedding's atmosphere said "posh", the activities said "party". The couple's wedding was a lovely blending of families as each was coming into the marriage with children of their own, and their families were a big part of the festivities. The children took part in everything from being junior members of the bridal party to helping to get the party started on the dance floor. Also adding to the fun but classy atmosphere was Caribbean dancers who escorted the bride and groom into the reception. The couple's elegant gold and ivory theme colours could be seen throughout the entire wedding, from the dazzling, shiny accents on Lesley-Ann's dress, to the stylish gold chiavari chairs that surrounded the tables of the reception space, to the beautiful gold rimmed clear charger plates on the tables. The wedding shined with gold and ivory in all its glory.

Every small detail was carefully planned out by the bride and groom, and their wedding was a magical night, filled with stunning décor, elegant colours, and most importantly, love from family and friends.
