Final Touches For Your Fall Wedding

 

If you have a wedding planned for this fall, you are now down to the wire with final plans. This edit will add a fabulous finishing touch to your special day. Find inspiration for drinks to decor and so much more. 

Warm Signature Sips

A welcome wedding cocktail is a fun way to greet your guests. Give it a cute name that makes sense with your own names. Mine could be the "Shop This Sip." You will need a sign for this sip station. Love this clearly chic acrylic sign. If you are wanting to do black as shown above. These signs are so clever!

Fall Table Linens

It's likely your wedding venue is offering white table linens. Layer on some autumn hues with swaths of gauze. Even just a little will add a lot to your decor.  The Snassy Crafter also offers some affordable fabrics.

Pumpkin Place Cards

Such a cute and wonderful idea. My guess is it might be difficult writing on a real pumpkin. Consider using a faux pumpkin and attaching a place card or escort card to it with a push pin or tape. I found these adorable pumpkins on Etsy. They can also serve as a table favor. Sweater Pumpkins from Chair Weaving & More. These White Pumpkin Place Card Holders are so cute and easy to work with! And finally these White Velvet Mini Pumpkins could not be lovelier. 

Wedding Shawls

Fall weather can be so unpredictable. If your ceremony and/or reception is planned for outdoors, this is a thoughtful detail. Your female guests will love you for them, and they are so reasonable priced (Less than $3.00) Best yet, they come in every color under the harvest moon!

Happy Times Favors

Biodegradable Wedding Confetti

Good for the environment and will smell like heaven. Created from your choice of dried flowers and French lavender. A very classy touch for a chic celebration. They also offer simple muslin bags to hold the petals.

Velvet Pumpkin Sets

If your decor budget is getting tight, think about three or five of these on each table instead of flowers. The Set Of Three will be at least a third of the cost of any floral arrangement. Or you can just scatter these pumpkins here and there around your event space. Find them at....,

Fall In Love Wine Labels

Personalize your wine service at dinner with these lovely labels. If not at the reception, a wine welcome gift with this label would be nice in the hotel rooms.

Ribbon can add a soft and colorful touch of fall to your wedding decor. From your wedding bouquets, to the table napkins, and floral arrangements, tuck in some of autumn's hues. This Etsy shop has an unbelievable assortment of ribbon!

Halloween is for all ages. Some love it, but some would rather not dress up, pretend, trick or treat, or pass out candy. This post is for those adults that are all in.

Martha Stewart's Pumpkin Basics

In Season: Pumpkins begin to ripen in September. Because they store well, pumpkins are available all through the fall and winter.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

What to Look For: Make sure to choose a variety of pumpkin that's intended for cooking rather than for decoration. The ubiquitous field pumpkin -- the kind most commonly used to carve jack-o'-lanterns -- has watery, stringy flesh and is not recommended for eating. Sugar pumpkins and cheese pumpkins are two widely available varieties that are good for cooking and baking, thanks to their dense, sweet flesh.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

How to Store: Pumpkins keep well at room temperature for up to a month. Stored in a cool cellar or refrigerator, they can last up to three months. Once cut, pumpkin pieces should be wrapped tightly and refrigerated. Use cut pumpkin within five days.
