Autumn is a time for cozy sweaters, warm apple pies and Halloween. It’s also the perfect season to have an autumn-themed wedding. Whether your big day is in October or November, these vibrant and fun centerpieces will make your wedding feel like fall.
Autumn weddings are filled with warm colors and natural elements like berries, fruits, and vegetables. The cozy and inviting atmosphere of fall décor is achieved through the use of colors like orange, burgundy, chocolate, and yellow.
The centerpiece is a crucial part of the décor, and here are some fall-inspired ideas to consider: using pumpkins filled with fall flowers for a rustic look, adding feathers for a bohemian touch, or incorporating wheat spikes for a barn wedding theme.
Another trend to consider is using succulents as a centerpiece, and incorporating edible elements like fruits and vegetables. While traditional flowers are always an option, the autumn colors of the flowers also bring a sense of the season to the table.
Rustic centerpieces made of vegetables and burlap are also popular choices. Browse more ideas and have fun creating the perfect fall wedding décor.

Flowers that are bright and colorful
If you’re planning a fall wedding, you’ll want to choose flowers that are bright and colorful—whether they’re flowers that represent the season or ones that are in season locally. For example, if your wedding is in late October, you might consider buying goldenrod and maple leaves instead of roses or carnations. You could also go for hydrangeas or chrysanthemums if the weather isn’t too cold.
Floral Centerpiece in a Pumpkin
A floral centerpiece in a pumpkin is a simple way to incorporate fall colors and create an element of surprise.
First, you will need a large pumpkin or gourd. You can use this as the base for your centerpiece by placing it on top of the tablecloth or runner. Be sure to choose one that has been carved into an interesting design; this will make it easier to place flowers inside! Next, fill up any empty spaces in your pumpkin with colorful fall leaves and other natural items like acorns, pine cones, etc. Make sure they’re not too big so they don’t obstruct guests’ views of each other when they’re seated around the table. Finally, add some candles to illuminate how beautiful everything looks at night!
Autumn-Style Candle Centerpiece
- In a small glass cylinder or vase, place leaves, pinecones, acorns and any other fall decorations you like.
- Using your favorite wax in a scent that suits the season (leaves and earthy scents are great choices), melt the wax in a double boiler set up over medium-low heat until it’s completely liquid.
- Let the wax cool for about 5 minutes so that it’s still fairly fluid but not too hot to pour into your vessel of choice; if it gets too thick, add some water to thin it out as needed!
Sunflowers in Cylinder Vases
Sunflowers are a popular choice for fall weddings. They are a great way to add color to your wedding, and they can be used in many different ways. Sunflowers can be used as table centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres and other floral arrangements throughout the ceremony and reception.
Colored Leaves
One of the easiest ways to add fall foliage to your centerpiece is by using leaves from a tree in your yard. If you’ll have access to a leaf blower or vacuum, grab them along with a rake and broom. Put on some safety goggles and get ready for some fun!
First, use the leaf blower or vacuum to clear away all of the leaves from the ground. Next, place them into large trash bags and tie them up tightly so that no air can escape as they dry out over time (you can also put these in plastic bins if you’re going for more of an indoor look). After about a week has passed since being gathered up off of their branch, those beautiful browning pieces will start falling off naturally when handled gently—and are now ready for use!
Now that we’ve covered how much fun it would be if all things were made out of leaves—and found out what happens after they’ve been picked off—like some kind of magic trick—let’s talk about how these amazing creations could look even better at home parties or weddings:
Pumpkins and Roses
You can add rosemary to your table decorations and centerpieces to create a beautiful display. Rosemary is a fall staple, with its long, thin leaves that smell like pine trees. When used in flower arrangements and centerpieces, it adds a fresh scent of pine for your guests as they walk into the room.
To use rosemary as a centerpiece, simply place some rosemary sprigs in pottery or glass containers around your table. You can also add additional items such as pumpkins or acorns around the arrangement for visual interest. If you want an even more rustic look, you can use small branches in place of sprigs instead! The possibilities are endless when using this gorgeous herb!
These centerpieces will make your wedding feel like autumn.
- Bright and colorful flowers—sunflowers, daisies, and more—are perfect for a fall centerpiece. They’re bright enough to give the table a pop of color but still subtle enough to blend in with your other decorations.
- A pumpkin is a great way to add some fall flair without being too over-the-top. It can be used as an actual centerpiece or simply placed on top of your tablecloth so you can admire it from afar!
- Candles are another great way to bring autumn into your wedding without spending too much money on decorations that may start falling apart during the reception (or even before). If you have an area where there’s already candles and they look nice, consider using them! Or if there isn’t any space where they fit well yet, try making some yourself by carving out pumpkins into different shapes and placing them around the table after lighting them up at nightfall; people will love seeing what type of jack-o’-lanterns inspired each one!
Conclusion
We hope that these ideas have inspired you to create your own fall centerpiece for your wedding. Whether you choose one of the decorations above, or take some inspiration from them and create something completely new, we think you’ll love how well they fit with the season.
