As we get ready to say a fond farewell to summer, we can’t help but to get excited about the fall weddings headed our way. Although most fall couples have already planned every detail to a tee, the rest of us simply can’t wait to see how you blended the best of 2009’s wedding trends into your autumn ceremony.

We’re antsy to see earthy, moss-covered centerpieces, slate gray bridesmaids dresses and vibrant jewel-toned color palettes. In fact, the luxe colors that make fall weddings so deliciously elegant are some of the things we look forward to most.

As we anticipate a new season full of style and glamour, we give you some of our favorite fall wedding invitations and other trends to inspire your own thoughts of fiery autumn sunsets and the fluttering leaves to match.

Vibrant Color

Rustic Charm

Simple Elegance

I love this charming idea for a summer camp wedding theme from Ritzy Bee. Can you imagine anything sweeter than carving your initials on a tree as part of the decor of your rustic early-fall ceremony, and then toasting s’mores with friends and family members?

These darling save the dates are the perfect way to start your summer camp-inspired celebration!

Whether you shop by color or style, one fantastic way to reduce the cost of your wedding flowers and select a bouquet that suits your wedding theme is to choose flowers that are in season. There are so many beautiful varieties to choose from all year long, so whether you are shopping for a sweet spring bouquet or Halloween wedding flowers, start your shopping in an eco-friendly (and cost-friendly) way by looking at a few of these lovely seasonal wedding flowers.
