Autumn Wedding Themes: Embrace the Warmth of the Season


Autumn weddings are magical, full of rich colours, cosy vibes, and the natural beauty of the changing season. If you're planning an autumnal wedding, you're in for a treat! The season’s palette offers a stunning array of deep greens, burnt oranges, warm golds, and rich burgundies that can transform your big day into a picture-perfect celebration. In this blog post, we'll explore ideas for autumn wedding floral themes, bouquets, bridesmaid dresses, and how to incorporate autumn tones into hair accessories and jewellery.

Floral Themes for an Autumnal Wedding
When it comes to flowers, autumn offers a wealth of options. Consider using seasonal blooms and foliage that showcase the warm, earthy tones of the season.



- Rustic Romance: Think of dahlias, chrysanthemums, and marigolds in deep burgundy, burnt orange, and creamy whites. Pair them with eucalyptus and berry sprigs for a touch of greenery that balances the warmth.
- Moody Elegance: Incorporate dark and mysterious florals like black calla lilies, anemones, and deep red roses. Accentuate these with dried pampas grass and rust-coloured leaves for a modern, bohemian vibe.
- Forest-Inspired: Use lush, deep emerald greens with ferns, ivy, and moss. Add in pops of colour with golden sunflowers, orange ranunculus, and copper-toned foliage. This theme creates a woodland fairytale atmosphere perfect for an outdoor ceremony.

Bouquets for the Autumn Bride
The bridal bouquet is a statement piece that should complement your overall theme. Here are some ideas to inspire your autumn bouquet:


- Emerald and Amber: Combine deep emerald green foliage with pops of amber roses, burgundy dahlias, and orange ranunculus. Finish the bouquet with trailing velvet ribbons in forest green or burnt orange for a luxe feel.
- Sunset Shades: Embrace the golden hues of autumn sunsets with a bouquet featuring marigolds, sunflowers, and peach-toned roses. Dried wheat and pampas grass add texture and a rustic touch.
- Glamorous Rose Gold: For a touch of elegance, opt for a bouquet filled with blush pink roses, copper eucalyptus, and hints of rose gold accents like metallic-dipped leaves or small brooches nestled among the flowers.



Bridesmaid Dresses: Autumn’s Hues
Bridesmaid dresses are a great way to bring your autumn colour palette to life. The key is to choose shades that complement the season and the overall aesthetic of your wedding.

- Deep Jewel Tones: Rich colours like emerald green, burgundy, and sapphire blue create a striking look that suits all skin tones. These shades also look stunning in photos against the natural backdrop of autumn foliage.
- Burnt Orange and Terracotta: Warm, earthy tones are perfect for an autumn wedding. Dresses in shades of burnt orange, terracotta, or rust bring a touch of vintage charm while feeling modern and sophisticated.
- Mix and Match: Consider letting your bridesmaids choose their own dress style in a coordinated colour palette. Mix emerald greens, soft browns, and golds for a beautifully cohesive yet varied look.

Incorporating Autumn Tones into Hair Accessories
The finishing touches can make all the difference, and bridal hair accessories are the perfect way to bring in those rich autumnal tones.

Emerald Green Hair Combs  Add a pop of deep green with an emerald crystal hair comb or vine. It pairs beautifully with both updos and loose waves, adding a touch of glamour and complementing your autumn bouquet.
- Rose Gold Accents: Rose gold is a versatile metallic tone that blends perfectly with the warm colours of autumn. A rose gold tiara or delicate headband with blush pink crystals and copper leaves can give your bridal look a romantic finish.
- Burnt Orange Details: For a bold statement, choose hairpins featuring orange gemstones or enamel flowers in shades of burnt sienna. These pieces stand out beautifully against dark hair and add a hint of the season’s fiery colours.

Autumn-Inspired Jewellery for the Bride and Bridesmaids
Jewellery is another opportunity to tie in your autumn theme, whether through colour or design.

- Statement Earrings: Opt for earrings that feature deep greens, warm golds, or copper tones. At Emma Rose Jewellery, our collection includes crystal earrings in rich emerald and rose gold shades that bring a touch of luxury to any bridal outfit.
- Layered Necklaces: For a modern twist, layer delicate rose gold necklaces with small leaf or acorn charms. This subtle nod to nature ties in beautifully with the season.
- Bridesmaid Gifts: Consider gifting your bridesmaids jewellery that matches your autumn palette. Custom pieces in shades of amber, topaz, or garnet make for stunning gifts that they can treasure long after the wedding day.


Final Thoughts
