In planning my wedding, I’m not only working with the gorgeous colors of autumn, but the fantastic smells that go with this beautiful season. I’ve chosen vanilla and cinnamon scented candles for inside the church and vases filled with colorful peach and coral roses.

My bridesmaids and flower girl will wear chocolate brown dresses with rust colored capes and I will be in a soft crème colored wedding gown with my bouquet filled with flowers of fall colors. In fact the entire wedding party will be in chocolate brown. My fiance wasn’t too keen on the idea at first, but I convinced him. This is what I really, truly want for my wedding.

   I’ve got it all planned out. Everything from invitations to my choice of fall favors. Thank goodness I have a computer to help me find all these great fall wedding ideas. There were some fantastic fall wedding invitations to choose from and a lot of decorating ideas, for both the ceremony and the reception. I never realized there were so many choices when planning a wedding. You can find almost anything you need right on the internet. Not just for our wedding ceremony, but for our reception party too.

   We are having the reception party at our friends home out in the country, which is the perfect setting for an autumn celebration. With all the trees and different colored leaves all around, and pumpkins sitting everywhere it will be the picture of the fall season. On all of our reception tables there will be garnett colored table cloths with decorative gourd centerpieces. My place card holders will be the adorable little leaf holders I found while shopping, and elegant little autumn favors boxes for each of my guests gifts. I’m also putting disposable cameras on all of my tables, so everyone can take pictures at the reception.  There’s going to be a lot of pictures. I’ve worked very hard on planning this and I’m confident that my tables will look exquisite with all these gorgeous colors.

   I’ve also taken care of the glassware for all our tables, including the champagne flutes for toasting. Our wedding cake is simply fabulous. It’s a three tiered spice cake with a crème colored frosting and beautiful red and yellow roses all around it.  I found our cake topper while shopping online and it was the perfect fall topper for us. I was really surprised at all the supplies and accessories I found for themed weddings.  They had something for the fall season in almost every category. That’s where I found the perfect  fall wedding favors for my guests too. My mom was really impressed at all I had accomplished on my own. But that’s how I wanted it. I wanted to plan all of it myself.     

   Well, everything is ready for our wedding next week end. Now all I have to do is relax and wait. I think this is the hardest part of all for me.  The waiting!
