Painted Mason Jars with Flowers
It is common for people to use mason jars instead of vases. Mason jars are pretty, inexpensive, and can add a rustic look to your wedding. But something that is not too common is to paint the mason jars. The nice thing about painting mason jars is that you can paint them in any color you’d like. Because you are having a fall wedding, you’ll want to paint the mason jars in fall colors. Pink, brown, and yellow are nice, mild colors to use. Complete your centerpiece by filling the mason jars with peach colored flowers and Baby’s Breath.

Mini Pumpkins
Are you not wanting to decorate with large pumpkins, or are large pumpkins hard to find in your area? Mini pumpkins will work just as well as large pumpkins. You can decorate them around the table in any way that you’d like. Some people have displayed them in a basket, while others have just scattered them around the table. You can decide what display you like better.

Artichoke Centerpiece
If having a large display of fruit and vegetables isn’t exactly what you had in mind, consider displaying only one vegetable: the artichoke. Some people place artichokes under the category as a flower, so this vegetable can replace the large bouquet that most wedding tables have. With its unique shape and look, artichokes are definitely worth displaying on the table.

Tall Centerpieces
This is definitely a unique table centerpiece. First, the vase is full of green apples, pine cones, nuts, and berries. Next, a tall mixture of flowers are displayed in the vase. The display is mostly made out of green leaves/flowers, but there are also a few red and orange flowers peeking through. Besides the flowers being very tall, the vase is taller than most vases are. Because of the tall vase, you will need to use tall flowers. You’ll also need more apples, pine cones, nuts, and berries than you would need for a small vase. But still, the extra work is worth it. Guests will be amazed with how tall this centerpiece is.

Other Fall Wedding Decorations and Tips
Besides these fall wedding centerpieces, you’ll also need to decorate your fall wedding with other decorations. Here are a few ideas.
Have an Outdoor Wedding
First, let’s start with the best venue to choose for your fall wedding. Having your wedding outdoors will make the ceremony that much better. If you are worried about guests becoming cold, consider having space heaters outside, or having the reception be held indoors.
Serve “Fall Foods”
Serve some fall foods that will warm people up, such as soups, hot chocolate, and wood fired pizzas. Toffee apples, pumpkin pie, s’mores, and apple cider are also great treats to serve. Of course, don’t forget to decorate your cake in a fall style.
Rugs
Rugs will give your wedding decor a nice accent. You can choose any colored rugs you like, but red, orange, brown, and pink rugs are common since they match the colors of fall.
Dress Properly
Unlike summer weddings, you probably won’t want to wear a wedding dress with short sleeves or no sleeves. Fall can bring cold weather, so you will probably want to wear a long sleeved wedding dress. Have a coat nearby for the reception.
Choose Bridesmaid Dresses with Fall Colors
Light shades of pink, orange, and brown are great for your bridesmaids to wear. Consider choosing head crowns and flowers for them to hold that match their dress.
Rustic Wood Table
A rustic wood table can resemble fall as well. You may want to have a burlap table runner be placed over the table. Don’t forget to add the fall wedding centerpiece to the table.
Have a Fire Pit Going
A fire pit will warm up the air, as well as be a great place for guests to gather for the wedding reception. Consider giving your guests s’mores to cook over the fire pit.
Hay Bales
Like I said earlier in this article, hay bales (or straw bales) will make your wedding look even better. Place some blankets on the hay bales so that guests don’t get poked.
Outdoor Lights
There are many types of outdoor lights available. From Christmas lights to lanterns, outdoor lights can give your wedding a warm glow. Lights are especially important if you will be having your wedding late in the day.
Candles
Besides fall lights, candles will add a warm glow to the wedding too. Candles can be a nice centerpiece on the table, as well as great to place around where the ceremony will be held. Or you cold line them up along where the bride will be walking up the aisle.
Fall Invitations
Have the wedding invitations be orange, pink, or yellow colored. Fall invitations often have sayings such as “Fall in love together with their families”, or “We fall in love a little more each day”.
