Alyssa and Grayson chose to get married on Halloween as that was the day they met! It was their 7th anniversary, making their day EXTRA special. Another special moment was when they did a fireball shot in honor of Alyssa’s stepdad who passed, which you will be able to see in the reception photos below.

Rustic Fall Wedding Planning Tips | Fall Wedding Ideas

Embracing Seasonal Colors and Decor

A fall wedding calls for a warm, inviting color palette. Deep reds, burnt oranges, and golden yellows can be combined with earthy tones like browns and greens to create a cohesive rustic look. For decor, think about incorporating natural materials—wooden signs, burlap runners, and vintage lanterns add to the aesthetic. Alyssa and Grayson had lots of fall touches and tasteful Halloween decor that helped make the day extra special!

Cozy Lighting and Ambiance 

Lighting is essential for any fall wedding, especially as the days get shorter. Twinkling string lights, candles in mason jars, and rustic lanterns can add a soft glow as the evening sets in. Consider setting up a fire pit if your venue allows it or outdoor heaters to create a cozy gathering spot for guests. This not only adds warmth but also creates a perfect, intimate atmosphere that reflects the rustic theme.
