We are now fully in Autumn,
the clocks have gone back, the leaves are changing to beautiful shades of
orange, yellow and red and the weather has changed to bright, but a little
fresh. So for this month’s wedding theme we are embracing this beautiful
season, and are inviting you to “fall” in love with Autumn.
Let’s start with the colour
scheme, we love the mix of autumnal colours, gold’s, reds, and oranges and
think it would look lovely to have all your bridesmaids in different
coordinated colours of the season. For
the room decoration we think a simple hessian sash and table runner would look
fab, and really pull all the colour together.
Now let’s look at the
invite, after all this will be setting the theme of the day for your guests. These
simple invites are £6 for 10, including your choice of envelope colours, we
love the brown envelope, that will really stick out amongst the bills on the
door mat!
Next up, the table plan. We
fancied a bit of a DIY table plan. If you invest in a nice frame to mount your
table plan you can use this after the wedding to frame your favourite wedding
photograph. We think it works pretty well, a bit of hessian, brown card and a
few craft leaves. So easy it would take longer to decide on the seating plan
than to make it!
And while we are looking at the table plan, what about the table names? How about trees? Oak, Chestnut, Birch, Larch, Beech and Ash. Oak is the traditional anniversary gift for 80 years, that has to be a good omen!
Onto the post box. Why not
use a picnic basket? With a bit of bunting reading “cards” it works perfectly,
and at £12.99 for a medium basket, it’s cost effective too. You might even have
one at home gathering dust, even better!
And you will want a little something from your guests to
help you remember the day. Maybe a bit of marital advice, or a sweet message of
how much they enjoyed the day. How about, instead of a guest book you have a
guest tree.
For the top table we think personalisedbunting would look lovely. And in hessian would match the table runners and
chair sashes too. This would look great in your marital home, and is well
priced for £13.49.
The focal point of the room
will be your table decorations, but you won’t want to spend a fortune on them,
either, we know costs mount up quickly with a wedding! This table decoration is
another DIY job (we are giving you a lot of work aren’t we?!) simple but
effective, a wood slice (the bigger the better!), and seasonal flowers. Maybe
add some candles now the days are getting shorter.
Don’t fancy it DIY? Woodenslices are available for sale online, and we are sure a florist would love to
work with your theme; we all love a bit of a change after all!
And for the final piece of
the table puzzle, aren’t these wooden leaf decorations lovely?! They aren’t the
cheapest, at £27.49 for 75, but you won’t need many. And we think it is the
little personal touches like this that show how much thought you have put into
your special day.
Fancy taking a bit further,
why not give your flower girl a basket of Autumn leaves to scatter down the
aisle?
And if you are worried your guests will get cold, don’t.
Embrace the weather! Crates and baskets full of blankets will look super cute,
and is a lovely thought for the guest that didn’t bring a coat ‘cause it didn’t
go with their dress… a decision most would come to regret!
