Thanksgiving weekend is a popular time for weddings. My own parents had a Thanksgiving weekend wedding almost 30 some-odd years ago. Since most people have a four day weekend, it can be a convenient time to have a wedding. One of the great things a Thanksgiving wedding has going for it is the fall theme that can be used. That’s exactly what our topic is about today: Thanksgiving themed wedding. Take a look:
Cranberries are a very “autumn” like food. What comes to my mind immediately is “cranberry sauce.” While they are certainly edible, those beautiful red cranberries can also be used for decorative purposes.
I love the idea of incorporating the color gold in the color scheme of a Thanksgiving wedding. Oh yeah, and pies. Lots of pies–apple, rhubarb, pumpkin. Yum.
A Thanksgiving wedding (or wedding around Thanksgiving) is a great opportunity to have a fabulous table setting that exudes everything we love about the holidays: festive, warm, comfort, and love. Orange and yellow candles surrounded by colorful leaves and gourds. A simple fall leaf and a brown ribbon to decorate cloth napkins. Simple, colorful, and everything we love to be reminded of when we break bread with the ones we love. Perfect meaning for a wedding.
(1) Brown Bridesmaid Dresses. Brown dresses for bridesmaids to use warm, fall themed colors. Bouquets incorporating brown, green yellow, red, and orange. (2) Table setting above. (3) Informal outdoor wedding. I love the outdoor look decorated with fall-related items (gourds, browns, yellows, oranges, etc). (4) Fall-themed table cards. Let guests know where to sit with adorable leaf-adorned cards. (5) Candy-covered apples for wedding favors. The perfect fall treat to send guests home with…and tasty too!
