Autumn’s colour palette is a treasure trove of inspiration. Here’s how you can incorporate these rich tones into your wedding:
- Burnt Orange: This quintessential autumn hue brings warmth and vibrancy to your wedding. From bridesmaid dresses to table runners, burnt orange can be woven throughout your décor. We recommend checking out the stunning satin bridesmaid dresses from Six Stories, particularly in their burnt orange shades. These dresses will add a pop of colour that complements the season's natural beauty.
-
Earthy Greens: Pairing burnt orange with earthy greens brings balance and a touch of nature indoors. Consider bridesmaid dresses in rich emerald or sage tones from Six Stories to add depth to your palette. You could mix and match this dress with with the burnt orange shade

- Creams and Tans: These neutral tones soften the boldness of orange and green, creating a harmonious and elegant look. Use them in your linens, floral arrangements, and even your wedding invitations.

When it comes to decorating for an autumn wedding, think cosy, rustic, and nature-inspired. Here are a few ideas:
-
Dried Flower Arrangements: Our dried flower bunches are perfect for adding a rustic, natural touch to your décor. Use them in centrepieces, hang them as aisle decorations, or incorporate them into your ceremony arch for a timeless look that lasts.
-
Petal Pathway: Imagine walking down an aisle adorned with a beautiful petal pathway. Our large freeze-dried petals are perfect for creating this romantic and eye-catching feature. Scatter them along the aisle to guide your way, adding a natural and elegant touch to your ceremony.
- Confetti Displays: When it comes to displaying your confetti, consider options that complement your rustic autumn theme. Our confetti baskets are a charming way to present your biodegradable petals. Alternatively, our Kraft Cones pair beautifully with our Autumn Mix of the Month, offering a stylish yet simple way to distribute confetti to your guests.
-
Seasonal Accents: Incorporate seasonal elements like pumpkins, gourds, and acorns into your table settings or around your venue. These natural touches enhance the autumn feel without overwhelming your colour scheme.
-
Candlelight: Soft, flickering candles add warmth and romance to any autumn wedding. Consider lanterns, votives, or even hanging candleholders to create a magical atmosphere.
Autumn Wedding Cake Inspiration
Your wedding cake is another fantastic way to showcase the beauty of the season. Here are a few ideas to inspire your autumn-themed cake:

- Spice and Warmth: Incorporate flavours like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger into your cake for a warm and cosy taste that reflects the season. A spiced carrot cake with cream cheese frosting or a rich chocolate cake with a hint of cinnamon could be perfect.
- Rustic Décor: Adorn your cake with autumnal decorations such as edible leaves, dried oranges or dried flowers. A naked cake style, where the layers are visible, can add a rustic charm that’s perfect for an autumn wedding.
-
Earthy Colours: Consider icing your cake in shades that match your wedding palette—burnt orange, deep green, or warm cream. These colours will tie your cake into the overall theme and create a cohesive look.
Signature Drink: Spiced Cider
No autumn wedding is complete without a signature drink that captures the cosy essence of the season. We suggest a warm spiced cider, infused with cinnamon, cloves, and a hint of orange. This comforting beverage is perfect for greeting guests on a chilly evening and pairs beautifully with the rich flavours of autumn.
Tip: For a festive twist, serve your spiced cider in rustic mugs or mason jars, and garnish with a cinnamon stick or dried orange slice.
