It’s nearly that time of year again, the mornings are beginning to frost and the evenings are drawing in. The leaves on the trees are starting to turn the warm shades of amber and the smell of log fires are beginning to fill the air.
With all the ambiance that surrounds autumn, it’s really no surprise why more and more couples are choosing to tie the knot at this time of year. So, with that in mind, we’ve gathered our top autumnal wedding inspirations to share with you to help your planning run a little smoother!
Embrace the Colours
When planning the colour scheme for your wedding consider the shades of the season. Autumn is the season of rich warm tones, from deep purples to burnt oranges and the most memorable autumn weddings reflect the natural colour scheme. Incorporate this with flowers, our prettiest autumn blooms are Dahlias and Begonias.
Choose a Seasonal Menu
Autumn weddings allow you to incorporate comfort foods into your wedding menu. The cold air gives everyone cravings for hot seasonal goods!
In the UK, dark fruits, root veg and pumpkins are all in season during the autumn. Can you imagine tucking into a roast dinner with sweet glazed roasted vegetables for a wedding dinner and a golden berry crumble for dessert?! We’re drooling at the thought!
Create the Atmosphere
You may want to bring the atmospheric tones of autumn into your wedding decorations. Do this by adding natural foliage such as fir and conifer trees into your decoration, pine cones can be a beautiful decoration for centerpieces – you can even forage your own! Add candles into your decoration theme, there’s really no better romantic setting then warm fluttering flames.
Choose a venue that’s as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside
It’s going to be chilly in the autumn, so you may want to have both indoor and outdoor venues, one that can emphasise the beauty of all seasons. Here’s where we can highly recommend Abbots Oak Manor.
Abbots Oak is a Grade II listed brick and stone build house with history embedded within its walls. We are located in the heart of Charnwood forest, surrounded by the natural wooded land and local wildlife. When choosing Abbots Oak as your wedding venue you will enter a world of warm hospitality and romance.
