There is so much to love about spring, summer, and of course, winter weddings, but we fall HARD for the ones that happen in the fall. There’s a basic and obvious attraction most couples have to sweater weather nuptials, which includes: the pumpkins (can’t do fall weddings without ‘em #sorrynotsorry), the mulled wine sangria cocktails, bridesmaids in terracotta couture, and take-home cider doughnuts and coffee for the commute home, but looking past those seasonal staples, the fall wedding season is an aesthetic and ‘in the air’ mood that just can’t be matched. We’re under no illusions that a thing such as “autumn magic” exists; so, if you’re getting married between September 22nd and December 21st, count on your guests being utterly spellbound.
When it comes to captivating colors for fall weddings, you can certainly go with nature-inspired cues – varying degrees of green, Morello cherry-minted marsalas, toasted almond tones, and shades that stick, like cinnamon sticks – but we’re even more blown away by the fall-planned functions that don’t look like hand-dyed hues of the infinity scarves that will be hanging around our necks in a matter of weeks. Trendy cosmetic ‘colours’ like berry, caramel, ginger, and mauve bring great highlights to a moody wedding look, while blood orange, blush, gold, ochre, and ivory set the stage for that foundational finesse the SZN is known for.
At Style Me Pretty, we always live for a fall wedding, but it means even more this time around (given how unpredictable the rest of the year’s weddings have been) as the wedding scene continues to bounce back. If your special day is on the docket for this fall, definitely keep reading for some trends you’ll want to track – and plenty of essentials to bring out their FULL potential. Everything is available to shop now on site!
Read on for some of the best f-alltime wedding trends and what to shop to get the look for your own pumpkin-spice-and-everything-nice kind of nuptials.
Clean, crisp fashion. That can only look ☝️good in photos, if the dress and his best are hung up and not too over handled. A fall gown shot, next to or above a bouquet with all that AMAZE foliage-mirroring color?! We’re totally here for it!
Shop our Hanger and Sign Set. The gold hardware alone makes the pair certifiably fab for fall.
Flannel and extra hot toddies. If you’re getting ready on a cooler autumn morning, you’ll absolutely want to warm up in your bridal suite with something sweet [and spiked!]. Your squad will love these!
Shop our White Bridesmaid Travel Cup. Because the toasting with your tribe should result in some toasty sips!
A pipe and drape backdrop with all the greenery. Is a perfectly-curated ceremony or cut-to-cocktail hour install for fall, especially with the metallic rose gold or copper framework.
Shop our Wedding Backdrop Banner. For an automatic photo backdrop win or something that can easily work for a live painting situation, if you have a sketch artist setup at your reception! (Amazing favor idea for your guests!)

Wooden welcomes. Whether you’re welcoming your guests to cocktail hour with a simple wooden sign, cloaked in greenery, beside a barrel or doing something a little more thematic with photogenic ghost pumpkins, an inspirational quote sign, and decorative florals, it all looks magical.
Shop our ‘Welcome To Our Forever’ or ‘It Was Always You’ Wood Sign. And embrace the natural rustic veil of an autumnal affair.

Fancy and sublty-festive table toppers. For fall wedding receptions, you can go nice and clean with an acrylic, gold-calligraphed table number atop a wooden holder OR trade the modern rustic look for one that speaks to a much more modern bohemian vibe.

Shop our Gold Acrylic Wedding Table Numbers or Vegan Leather Wedding Table Numbers (coupled with our Gold Table Number Holders). It’s desert, but done in a flawlessly-fall way.

And a cake table that’s lit [and levitating]. An ochre velvet-swathed high top table with a thin cake stand that literally disappears (we said magic, didn’t we?) and some slender tapers that rival the mystique of the black flame candle. What more can you ask for for TDF photos?
Shop our 3 Piece Gold Taper Candle Holder Set and our Cake Stand. And make sure your florist has some extra loose blooms for a serious cascading effect.
