Autumn is a season of change, most clearly portrayed by its characteristic displays of gorgeous colours – reds, oranges and golds. However, this change can lend itself perfectly to the significance of getting married and tying the knot – possibly one of the biggest changes you will experience in your life!

As couples look to escape the summer heat, autumn weddings are becoming increasingly popular alternatives. Accordingly, there is now more scope for wonderful seasonal weddings than ever before. Goosedale is a popular wedding venue in Derbyshire, used for functions all year round. If you are considering autumn for your own big day, here are some tips and ideas to help you make that all-important decision!

Seasonal Theme

Autumn has a rich palette of glorious colours to choose from, all of which can make for the perfect themed wedding. Go for reds, oranges, golds and rich browns – take inspiration from the natural world around you and adopt the spirit of the season into your special day. Go for complementary colours or combine your favourite autumnal hues with bright golds and warm bronzes – the perfect way to add a touch of sparkle! Whether it’s your choice of décor, flowers, outfits or more, tie it all together and make sure this is an autumn you will never forget.

Autumnal Offerings

It’s not just the visuals that can be adapted to suit the season! While it’s always a good idea to opt for seasonal flowers for your wedding, where possible, autumn has a great range of colourful blooms you can use for bouquets, buttonholes, decoration and table centrepieces. If seasonal flowers aren’t your thing, you can still take inspiration from the season’s colours to tie it all together. Similarly, you can also try serving autumn-themed food for your guests. While a buffet will give you a wider range of choice, sit-down meals can also be themed for the season. Opt for fresh fruit crumbles or deliciously warming soups or stews – sometimes, the simplest food can be the most appreciated.

Themed Décor

The final addition to your autumnal wedding day, yet one that often goes underappreciated. Dress your chosen venue in gorgeous colour-coded décor, perfect for the season. Flowers, ribbons and balloons are always wedding favourites, but depending on your venue, you could always mix things up a bit and add your own spin with twinkling fairy lights, seasonal centrepieces or autumn leaf garlands.
