Autumn Wedding Inspiration : unique ideas for planning a fall event

So happy to welcome Laura of Eye Candy Event Details to the magazine today with her gorgeous Autumn inspiration. Not only did she create an amazing inspiration board - but Laura included great details on how to implement each of the elements into your party. Laura writes . . . "Fall colors of chocolate brown, rustic red & vibrant orange can really make an event feel warm. The details of an event are key in providing guests with that one little thing that sets your event apart from all the others. I wanted to bring you some unique ideas for planning a fall event, things that are a little different but very delightful." Delightful indeed - I'm loving so many of the elements Laura found.

1. Try writing the signature drink or the menu on this orange chalkboard frame for an added personal touch. You could also use this frame as a welcome sign at the entrance of your event.

2. This leaf wedding program combines all the warmth of a fall event in the rustic colors & a simple monogram never goes out of style.

3. Bring the outdoors inside, with this rustic votive holder & flower arrangement that will provide just the right amount of ambience to your event.

4. Serve your guests warm apple cider in hollowed out apples with a cinnamon stick added for extra flair.

5. Tiny burlap bag party favors are the perfect treat for your guests to take home.

6. What better way to make an impact at a fall wedding, than wearing a red wedding dress. Your guests will be talking about it long after the event.

7. Accent a wedding banner in your colors to add that extra little detail that makes the party your own.

8. Pumpkin roll cake pops are an unexpected flavor served at your fall gathering.

9. Need a simple décor idea? Try these adorable red felt hearts that look like flowers. Simply put them in a vase for a simplistic touch to any occasion.

10. Chocolate brown & white cake with a simple flower accent - stunning!

11. A simple orange tie & flower is an easy way to tie in your wedding colors with your groom's attire.

Much love to Laura for joining us today. Please be sure visit the Eye Candy Event Details site and the Eye Candy Event Details Design Shop.
