Traditionally people would plan their weddings for the summer months when the weather was hot and the sun was shining. However in recent years we have seen a shift toward fall and winter weddings. November makes a great choice for a wedding date because you can combine it with Thanksgiving and still not interfere with your Christmas plans. There are numerous November wedding ideas available and possibilities are endless for this type of wedding. The key to having the perfect fall wedding is to keep it simple and use vibrant colours.

The easiest way to create a fall themed wedding is to choose the perfect colours and of course these colours are oranges and reds. However you are not forced to use the exact colours of autumn. Instead you could go with a theme such as summer in autumn or winter in autumn and you could incorporate some of the colours from those seasons. You could even mix up some colours and use the bright colours from autumn and mix them with some lighter colours from spring or summer. Adding some olive green can make your wedding seem even more elegant.

The wedding gown that you select for a wedding during these months can also make a huge impact. Traditionally the colour of the gown has been white, but for autumn wedding brides often choose a diamond white gown or they may go with an ivory white. Many people find that these colours work harmoniously with the autumn colours and the fall theme for a wedding. If you are less conventional then you might want to consider purchasing a coloured gown that would match your wedding theme and colours. It is important that the colour of your wedding dress complement the colours of the wedding, but if they do not complement the bride, they will not work. It is the bride that wants to look perfect.

A wedding in November allows for some great ideas for centerpieces for the table. This is where your choice of colours can really make an impact on the look and feel of your wedding and your wedding reception. For example if your wedding is in early November you could have small pumpkins decorated and placed around the room and tiny pumpkins could be used as the place markers. However, it is important that you not go overboard as well. Sometimes it is better to keep things simple and elegant. A nice choice for a centerpiece for a wedding in November is to use the fruits of the season in a nice decorative bowl in the center of the table, or smaller bowls at each end of the table.

Wedding favours can really be creative at this time of the year. For example ,you might want to try giving your guests candies or chocolate wrapped in the shape of a maple leaf or a pumpkin. If you were looking for something simpler then you might want to give your guests small scented candles which give off a scent or look like the colours of the season. The possibilities are endless.
