Fall weddings are becoming more and more popular, because the scenery is beautiful and the weather is temperate. Decorating a fall wedding is a lot of fun, because there are many beautiful colors and decorations that may be used.
All seasons can make great backdrops for weddings. However, for rich color, it's hard to beat fall. If you are planning a fall wedding, you'll want decorations that add to the beauty of your surroundings, both indoors and outdoors.

Apple Butter
Whether you buy it or make it yourself, apple butter is a unique fall favor that not only looks the part, but tastes great too. Package the sweet spread into mini jars; cover each jar lid with fabric to match your wedding day colors; and tie them off with a thin piece of raffia and a small thank-you note.
Apple Cider Mix
Packets of apple cider mix are perfect for welcome baskets and reception favors alike. Buy them prepackaged with cute sayings such as "Falling in Love," or make them yourself -- and don't forget the cinnamon stirring sticks.
Soy Candles
Capture the coziness of autumn with soy candles in shades of burnt orange, yellow, or brown. They can double as place cards, or pack them into pretty boxes that match your color palette.
Altar
Decorate an altar with corn stalks, pumpkins and mums. This is perfect for an outdoor wedding or an indoor wedding within a reception hall. A church reception may not allow the corn stalks and pumpkins, but mums should be allowed.
Place Cards
Use individual mini pumpkins and pin the place card tag to the pumpkin. Place on a table with some beautiful mums or fall leaves or at each place setting.
Colors
Regardless of your decoration choices, stick to the fall color scheme. This includes gold, dark yellow, orange and deep reds.
Floral Arrangements
Make floral arrangements for your elegant fall wedding using flowers that are unique to the season: marigolds, chrysanthemums and zinnias. For a church wedding, you could make arrangements for the pews and altar areas. Add beauty to an outdoor wedding with fall floral arrangements lining the bridal path. Tuck in some herbs, such as rosemary, bay and thyme, to make your arrangement smell beautiful. Include some real fall leaves from your favorite tree in your arrangements. Let the bridal party carry wreaths instead of bouquets. They look beautiful at a fall wedding. Decorate grapevine branches with colorful ribbons and silk fall flowers. This also makes a wonderful keepsake after the wedding is over.
Mini Maple Syrup Bottles
Few things represent the fall season better than maple syrup. Give mini maple syrup bottles to your guests as a sweet thank-you, or include them in farewell bags at the post wedding brunch for all to enjoy with their breakfast.
