Autumn Weddings to fall for

27/10/2023

Autumn weddings can really bring that cozy and romantic atmosphere, with rich, warm colours that reflect the beauty of the season. We recently created a styled shoot full of Autumn charm and warmth at the beautiful Hawke Barn tucked away in the Devon countryside.

Autumn Bridal Accessories

Pearls are always a favourite choice for brides.
Consider baroque style drop pearls or freshwater pearls which bring elegance, movement and a natural feel to your look.
A long drop necklace will accentuate a deep v neckline beautifully.
Pearl headbands worn with hair down can add an elegant and understate bridal touch. You can even layer them for a more dramatic look.
Pearl combs or hair slides can also provide that perfect, classic, bridal glamour.

Autumn Colour Palette

Deep Reds: Consider using deep reds like burgundy, marsala, or cranberry as your primary colour.
Gold: Adding gold touches throughout will bring a warmth and richness
Burnt Orange: Add a pop of warmth with burnt orange or terracotta accents.
Rustic Brown: Incorporate earthy brown tones for a natural, grounded feel.
Mustard Yellow: Brighten up your palette with mustard yellow for a touch of vibrancy.
Deep Purple: Deep purples, like eggplant or plum, can provide an elegant contrast.

Bouquet and Autumn Floral Arrangements

Opt for seasonal blooms like dahlias, mums, sunflowers, and roses in your chosen color palette.
Incorporate greenery like eucalyptus and ferns to add texture and depth to your arrangements.
Consider using dried flowers, pampus grass or wheat stalks for a rustic, boho touch.
You may even opt for a floral crown for part of the day like the ceremony and then a sparkly pearl band for the evening.
