Today was legitimately the first day that felt like fall, and it’s not even cold outside yet. The air this morning just felt… autumnal. Still, nine days after September and, with a ninety-degree day on its way tomorrow, I’m sort of thinking my favorite jeans and sweater isn’t meant to be for a little while more. If you’re like me and love the upcoming season — not to mention pumpkin spice everything — you’re in for a real treat! Today we’ve gathered up seven rustic fall ceremony ideas we know you’re going to love. Read on to get started…

Rustic Fall Ceremony Ideas

1. Yellow, Orange + Red Bouquets

Ah, I love the color combinations on these gorgeous bouquets! Perfect for fall.

2. Pumpkins + Baby’s Breath

This is an easy ceremony decor idea you can do yourself: just gather pumpkins, galvanized french vases, and baby’s breath.

3. Gourds Down the Aisle

Gourds are the perfect decorating piece down the aisle, don’t you think?

4. Ceremony Decor – Hanging Amaranthus

Instead of an arbor, here’s a fresh alternative: hanging amaranthus.

5. Hay Bales for Seating

Hay bales work inside and out! If you’re having guests sit on hay bales, buy sheets from a thrift store, wash thoroughly, and wrap the tops of the bales. This means guests won’t get itchy… and hay won’t get stuck all over their nice clothes.

6. Red Barn as Backdrop (+ Floral Decor)

If you are having a barn wedding but prefer an outdoor ceremony, take it outside with the barn as your backdrop. I love the floral decor used here, too.

7. Cardigan for the Bride

And, last but not least… add a pop of color + stay warm with a cardigan sweater. Oh, and a sparkler exit at the end of the night is always a fun idea.
