15 Gorgeous Leaf Ideas For A Fall Wedding

As summer’s warmth begins to wane, the allure of autumn takes center stage. The recent Indian summer in London was a delightful reprieve, but I couldn’t wait to showcase my new winter coat on Monday (A double-breasted camel coat with a pop of pink on the lapel, if you must know). With the days growing shorter and the air crispening, it’s no surprise that fall weddings have become increasingly popular.

The quintessential autumnal scene – rustling trees and crunching leaves beneath one’s feet – is a potent symbol of the season’s arrival. As we gaze upon these idyllic settings, our minds turn to creative ways to incorporate autumn’s beauty into our special day. Whether you’re planning an all-encompassing celebration or simply seeking to acknowledge the season, incorporating autumn leaves is an effortless and elegant means to do so.

Envision strolling down the aisle amidst a tapestry of fallen leaves, a stunning table setting adorned with scattered leaves, or charming leaf embellishments on invitations, escort cards, or favors. The best part: Autumn leaves serve as a budget-friendly (and free) decoration that can be woven throughout your wedding day to evoke an instant autumnal ambiance and rustic charm.

The beauty of these seasonal elements is undeniable; evoking a sense of serenity and tranquility reminiscent of a leisurely stroll in the park. I find that subtle nods to the season, rather than grand themes, add a touch of sophistication to any wedding celebration. One of my favorite ways to incorporate these elements into your special day is by collecting them a few days prior and allowing them to dry naturally by the radiator.

Alternatively, consider adding an extra layer of glamour with a spritz of gold paint and some strategically placed glitter. We’d love to see how you choose to bring the beauty of fall into your wedding celebration. If you’re planning a cozy autumnal wedding, be sure to share your photos with us.
