5 Gorgeous Fall Wedding Color Palettes

August 30, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Autumnal hues are some of our favorites, so it’s no wonder we’re crazy about these fall wedding color palettes! Inspired by changing leaves, seasonal flowers, and fruits and veggies just waiting to be harvested, these palettes come straight from nature to decorate your fall wedding.

Apple Red, Gold, Light Yellow

When it comes to choosing colors for your fall wedding, look no further than the fruit of the season! Trees filled with apples and rows of pumpkins and squash are just waiting to inspire your fall wedding decor. We love the mix of bold linens, colored glassware, and seasonal florals to create this reception look.

Cognac, Yellow, Kelly Green, Cocoa

The Seventies are having a major comeback everywhere from fashion to design and, of course, weddings! Many ‘7os elements are influenced by the natural hues in the forest, making this palette of cognac, yellow, kelly green, and cocoa perfect for a storybook wedding in autumn.

Teal, Bold Orange, Raspberry, Dark Red

A festive fall fête calls for a parade of jewel tones throughout your wedding decor! Rich hues of teal, bold orange, raspberry, and dark red are luxe, warm, and always romantic. More is more with this color palette, so pile on the vintage dishes, candlesticks, fruit, flowers, and linens!

Amber, Deep Sage, Pure White

If your closet and home take a minimalist approach to style, your wedding should too! A stark white backdrop like The White Sparrow in Quinlan, Texas calls for a few neutral pops of color, and amber and deep sage green couldn’t be better picks. Search within nature to find these hues: magnolia leaves, agate slices, assorted berries and blooms, and even gold pears!

We’re Overwhelmed by This Wedding Ceremony Overlooking the North Cascades

August 30, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Wanting to treat their out-of-town guests to the best of Washington’s beauty, Kim and Kevin held their ceremony overlooking the North Cascades. As if the epic landscape weren’t enough, the crafty pair took their wedding decor into their own hands (literally!) by DIYing some showstopping elements. Because no mountain wedding is complete without a little adventure, the newlyweds hiked into the sunset, Hartman Outdoor Photography capturing every romantic moment!

The Couple:

Kim and Kevin

The Wedding:

Sun Mountain Lodge Winthrop, Washington

Most of our guests were coming from out of town, so we wanted to share a part of Washington we really loved with them. We also really wanted to find a location where we would be able to spend the weekend with our guests, instead of just the wedding! Sun Mountain was perfect because we rented out all the cabins by Patterson Lake. It made it so we had the whole area to ourselves with most of our guests. We hosted a BBQ there instead of a traditional rehearsal dinner, had a yoga instructor come teach yoga to about 50 of our guests the morning of the wedding, partied after the wedding and had brunch there the morning after!

Kevin made the arbor for our ceremony out of birch poles. He cut, doweled and tied them together. We have it in our garden now!

We agreed the most memorable part of the day was the ceremony. I stopped at the top of the steps before walking down the aisle with my Dad and just looked out towards the North Cascades, Kevin and our friends and family- all our favorite people gathered in one spot to celebrate with us! There was so much love! Kevin felt the same standing at the end of the aisle.

Geof Childs, our officiant, has a beautiful ceremony about marriage being an adventure! It fit Kevin and I so well, we only modified it a little and then added our own readings.

For the centerpieces, we used old climbing rope to tie monkey fist knots and then used those knots to hold wooden table names. We cut and stained wood for the table names, and painted the names of some of our favorite peaks we have climbed. Other DIY table decorations were photos of those climbs that we had printed on wood and cobalt blue vases that we gathered from Goodwill!
