We absolutely love autumn weddings. There is something so romantic about the season, with its crisp air, golden sunsets and nature’s most stunning colour palette. At Sparkle Event Styling, we are always inspired by the way autumn transforms the landscape, and we adore bringing that richness and warmth into wedding design.

Lean into the Colour Palette
Autumn is all about colour. Think burnt orange, deep burgundy, golden yellow and earthy browns, tones that naturally feel warm and inviting. We love weaving these into table designs with coloured glassware, tapered candles and rich linens. For florals, you can embrace the season with dahlias, chrysanthemums and foliage in fiery hues, or go bold with berries and seed heads for a textural, seasonal finish.

Rustic Textures for Cosy Vibes
Textures play a big role in creating that autumnal feel. Layering is key: wooden tables, linen runners, velvet napkins, dried foliage and even touches of leather or wool. These tactile details make the space feel welcoming and cosy, whether you are in a barn, marquee or country house. For an added touch of warmth, add candlelight everywhere. Nothing captures the glow of autumn quite like flickering candles and twinkling fairy lights.

Bring the Outside In
Autumn is nature at its best, and it is the perfect excuse to bring the outdoors into your styling. We love using branches, seasonal leaves and even mini pumpkins or gourds as table décor. For a more refined look, consider floral installations that include berries, trailing ivy or autumn leaves cascading down from above. This not only creates atmosphere but also ties your wedding styling beautifully to the time of year.

For Something Less Autumnal
Of course, not every couple wants to lean into autumnal tones, and that is absolutely fine. If you would prefer a lighter, more timeless look, we recommend sage green paired with gold and glass. This palette feels fresh and elegant, while still suiting the season. Picture soft sage runners, delicate gold cutlery, glass candlesticks and white florals. The result is a clean and contemporary look that balances perfectly against autumn’s natural backdrop without feeling too seasonal.

Our Top Tip
Whichever route you take, consistency is key. Choose a colour palette and repeat it across your tables, ceremony décor, signage and even your bridal party outfits. That way, everything feels harmonious and your styling enhances the atmosphere of your wedding day.

Autumn is one of our favourite times to design weddings, and whether you want to embrace the richness of the season or keep things soft and timeless, we would love to help you create a look that feels personal, stylish and completely you.
