Fall Weddings - Trends We Have Our Eye On

Fall weddings have a way of feeling extra special, full of cozy details, rich colors, and those little seasonal touches that make the day unforgettable. This year it’s all about mixing bold colors with creamy neutrals, bringing in florals and tablescapes that feel warm and inviting, and even adding a fun oyster bar now that we’re in the -ber months. No matter how you choose to celebrate, fall is the perfect season to create a wedding that’s beautiful, personal, and completely your own because fall colors are calling and they’re too good to ignore.

Every season has its own palette, but fall colors are calling louder than ever right now. Couples are leaning into rich, moody shades and softening them with neutrals like cream, ivory, and white for a look that’s stylish yet welcoming. Picture deep burgundy against creamy linens or emerald green with crisp white accents—bold without being overwhelming and perfect for an autumn celebration. This year’s trending tones include rust and terracotta, jewel shades like sapphire blue and emerald, mustard gold, warm amber, and the timeless burgundy and wine hues. Paired with lighter neutrals, these colors create an atmosphere that feels both elegant and cozy, setting the perfect backdrop for a fall wedding.

Oyster bars are making a big comeback now that we’ve officially entered the ber months, and it’s easy to see why. Oysters are at their peak this time of year, making them a fresh and seasonal choice for cocktail hour. They add a touch of coastal charm to fall weddings, especially for couples celebrating by the water or in Southern venues where oysters are a tradition. And while guests enjoy shucking and tasting, the drink pairings make it even more exciting—think crisp sparkling wine or fall-inspired cocktails like an apple cider spritz, a spiced old fashioned, a maple bourbon smash, or even the ever-popular espresso martini for a cozy yet lively pick-me-up. An oyster bar not only feels elegant and unexpected but also ties in beautifully with the flavors of the season.

Fall weddings have a charm all their own, filled with rich colors, seasonal details, and cozy elegance. From bold palettes to fresh florals and even an oyster bar, the trends this year prove that fall colors are calling—and they’re the perfect inspiration for your big day.
