It's officially Autumn here in the northern hemisphere, and although we shed a small tear at summer's farewell, we couldn't be happier to welcome fall in all its beautiful glory.
The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling, and fall wedding inspiration abounds! From comforting color palettes to cozy decor, we're definitely falling for all the ways you can up your autumn wedding game. Take a look at some of the inspiration we gathered, save your favorites, make them your own!
Lanterns, whether hung from trees or placed on tables, add a cozy ambiance to your venue. You can adorn them with flowers or display them as is, and there are a variety of lanterns to choose from. Some use candles (usually LED) to illuminate the space, while others are fitted with bulbs. Photo by Hopkins Studios via The Knot
Apples are autumn's fruit du jour and are easy to incorporate into your fall wedding. We like the idea of dressing them up a bit and using them as place cards. And why not set up a caramel apple bar for your guests? Provide apple slices on sticks that guests can pick up and dip into caramel sauce. Yum! For something less sticky, consider a warm drink station that includes coffee, hot chocolate, and apple cider.

Sink your teeth into a caramel drip cake topped with luscious fruit and flowers. The rich colors play well with a jewel-toned palette and the cake itself is simply beautiful. Maybe almost too pretty to eat! Photo by Petra Veikkola via Ruffled
You don't have to go all burnt orange and brown to create a beautiful autumn wedding. Accent colors like gold and white can add a romantic touch to a typical fall color palette. Paint mini pumpkins, acorns, or pine cones a shimmering gold and place on burlap sacks or lace for a rustic look. Or make the scene more luxe by pairing with silver decor pieces, mirrored surfaces, or velvet. Photo via Happy Wedd
Romantic blooms in shades of warm brown, sand, and lush jewels will make your heart flutter. The bouquet in the photo was arranged by Jill Wild Flowers and featured cappuccino roses and elegant orchids. So dreamy! Photo by Pawel Bebenca via Love My Dress
