Fall is no doubt one of the most looked forward to seasons of the year. With the changing of the leaves, the taste of apple cider, and the cooler air, fall isn’t only known for Halloween but also another prime wedding season. As we all want our weddings to only be as unique and special as possible, here are some ways to really use fall and the warm colors often associated with the season to your advantage for your big day.

 Use Cozy Seating

 Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year but it’s also the start of slightly chillier weather. If you’re planning on having an outdoor wedding, line up each seat with a comfy, cozy blanket. Not only can you have the blankets be part of your wedding favors, but they will be much appreciated by your guests and depending on the color that you use, it can brighten up your wedding decor and add a splash of color into your wedding. To match the autumn landscape, you can choose a nicely colored orange, mustard yellow or even a burgundy red.

Have Splashy Fall Cocktails 

Apples and pumpkins and cinnamon, oh my! As most couples like to create a specialty cocktail for their big day, use the Fall season to help inspire a colorful but also delicious cocktail perfect for autumn. With fall being the perfect time for apple cider, you can take a spin on the classic fall drink and create a spiked hard cider with a cinnamon rim. Or if one of your main colors for the big day is red, create a cocktail that includes cranberry, red apple or pomegranate. No matter what your color scheme is for the big day, there is no shortage of ideas for your autumn wedding cocktails.

Add a Splash of Color into your Hair 

As all eyes are on the bride for the big day, a fun way to really stand out is through adding color into your wedding day hairstyle. This can be accomplished in a number of ways. You can change up the color of your veil, include multi-colored hair accessories into your hairstyle or add colorful fall flowers into your up-do. If you’ve always been extra adventurous with your style, using a hair color product like this, you can be free to go bold and dye parts of your hair or your whole head a bright color! However you decide to add in more color into your wedding hairstyle, going for something more unique will definitely make your wedding one to remember.

 Have Fun Escort Cards

 If you’re planning on having guests sit at certain tables, use your escort cards as a way to incorporate more color into your day. You can use a specific design for each table such as fall flowers, actual leaves or pinecones. You can also use other festive props such as miniature pumpkins or brightly colored apples to let your guests know where they’ll be sitting. Not only are these perfectly fall themed, but it will also serve as a nice way to add in shades of orange, yellow and red into your day.
