Location: Think about having your wedding reception in an apple orchard, at a vineyard, a country inn, a ranch, a bed-and-breakfast, or on a rustic farm. No matter where you go, be certain that you and your guests have a great view of the season's fiery foliage.
Color Scheme: Use what nature offers so abundantly, Rich earth tones(browns, warm rusts, burnt oranges, deep reds, golden yellows & greens).
Cozy up table utensils and accessories by using copper & gold tones.
Flowers & Decorations: For wedding flowers, go natural. Consider wild flowers & herbal bouquets.
Herbal farms and local florists can offer a variety of flowers & plants perfect for centerpieces and bouquets.
Also, consider using apples and pears or acorns, pinecones and gourds for centerpieces. Another table idea might be to fill mason jars with a grain, like cracked corn, and use them as candle holders.
Decorate glass-topped tables by scattering silk leaves underneath the glass to dress up the table linen.
And finally, since it is the season, how can we forget the pumpkin? Hollow out large ones and fill them with fruit for centerpieces. Use small ones as candle holders or expand on the jack-o-lantern theme by cutting flower and leaf designs into them. Then light them up to lend some autumn ambiance to your festivities.
