Ah, Autumn! It’s that time of year again – the leaves are falling and we’re reaching for our favourite cosy jumpers, embracing the darker nights and cooler weather. This dark autumn wedding is full of lush, cosy colours, with a little bit of Halloween thrown in! Created by Your Choice Photography and Spectatular Scenes, this intimate bridal shoot is miraculously both dark and vibrant, celebrating seasonal colours and showcasing some epic wedding inspiration!
How to rock a dark autumn wedding
start with the colours
Once you've decided on some base colours, you can build from there.
ADD personal touches
Make your day unique to you and add things that you both love. Choose things that you are drawn to. You could even reference your favourite films, books or hobbies!
Play!
Have fun with being creative! Embrace the opportunity to toy with different ideas and experiment! Mood boards, fabric samples, and flower trimmings can help with this.
Dark Autumn Wedding Styling
We love these vibrant oranges, blended with deep reds and earthy tones. Vickie from Spectacular Scenes told us how she styled this dark autumn wedding shoot:
“The inspiration came from the beautiful colours of autumn and my favourite time of year, Halloween. All the styling began with the colour palette. The seasonal flowers were the main focus for the table centrepiece with the quirky skull, oranges and pumpkins creeping in from Halloween wedding inspiration. I wanted to portray the preservation & rebirth that begins in nature in the autumn. We also wanted to add the cosy feel by the fire that the dark nights of autumn bring.”
An Awesome Autumn Bride
This badass bride is beautiful! Rocking a sequined black wedding dress and autumnal flower crown, her look is enhanced with makeup by Create The Cover.
No wedding is complete without awesome wedding stationery! The theme is tied together with invitations and menus by Origami Fox.
We asked Nisha from Your Choice Photography for her advice to someone wanting to recreate this look:
“My initial advice, through and through, is to be true to yourselves. I cannot stress this enough, it’s your special day and should reflect what you love most. Decide between you on a couple of things that are non-negotiables for you…those along with your baseline of colours will help you build the wedding style you love.”
