Autumn Inspiration for a Cozy At-Home Wedding
Set the motif of your intimate fall wedding with Rustic Burlap and Leaves invitations (1), like these designed by Nite Owl Studio, showcasing autumn’s colors and textures.
Come your wedding day, continue the look at your at-home celebration with tablescape details (2) like linens in earthy and woodsy tones, centerpieces of fall blooms, and autumn-leaf accents on each place setting.
As wall decor or a buffet backdrop, hang a charming "Falling in Love" bunting banner (3), and for a unique guest book alternative opt for this Maple Leaves Memory Sculpture (4)—both available on Amazon.
A simple and sweet (literally!) wedding cake idea would be this Fall Leaf Cake (5) by Haniela’s. Paired with maple cider martinis (6) for your final wedding toast, recipe courtesy of
Fuller’s Sugarhouse.
And keeping in-theme right till the end, give guests a special treat of maple syrup favors (7) in lovely leaf-shaped bottles, like these from Pieces of Vermont.
