• Next up are the wedding flowers. Now, fall is mostly about warm colors. So when it comes to deciding on the bridal bouquet and wedding flowers in general, you can go for dahlia, chrysanthemum, marigold, sunflowers, calla lily, and gerbera daisies. Especially for the bouquet, you can have flowers as well as those gorgeous dry leaves in fall tones like yellow, orange, brown, and white. Using the same flowers and foliage for the centerpieces and decorations will add personality to the celebration. So, go for it without hesitation!
• Decorate the setting with personalized “thank you” notes meant for your guests. You can use different calligraphy-style letters while writing these cute little notes and display them with some apple favors. Oh, and make sure these favors are fresh.
• And if you want an entirely out-of-the-world kinda wedding, of course on a budget, then try square hay bales for seating. You can save a lot of money by not spending a penny on seats if you can arrange those cute hay bales for your guests to sit on. Also, they will give them the perfect fall feel too. Don’t worry about them being pokey; cover them with a thick white piece of cloth. Oh, this way you can just make them elegant too!
