7 Pretty Wedding Decor Trends for Your Fall Outdoor Wedding
If you’re dreaming of crisp air, golden leaves, and a picture-perfect Southern backdrop, there’s no better time to tie the knot than fall. Here at The Daughters Barn in southern Georgia, we’ve hosted hundreds of outdoor weddings, and every season brings new ideas to fall in love with.
Here are 7 pretty and popular fall wedding trends to inspire your outdoor wedding decor:
1. Warm Color Palettes With a Twist
Burnt orange, terracotta, and warm neutrals never go out of style. But this year, couples are leaning towards pops of plum, dusty blue, and even forest green. These bold tones look stunning against a barn backdrop and Georgia’s fall foliage.
Pro tip: Mix velvet table runners or napkins in these shades to add depth and texture to your wedding decor.
2. Rustic Wood and Vintage Accents
Nothing says Southern fall like warm wood finishes. Think vintage lanterns, wooden welcome signs, and farmhouse-style tables. These pieces bring charm and character while keeping your look timeless.
3. Dried Florals and Pampas Grass
One of the biggest fall wedding trends? Florals that last. Dried bouquets, pampas grass, and muted greenery give your ceremony a boho edge while staying budget-friendly and sustainable.
Arrange them in tall vases or hang them over your ceremony arch for an instant wow.
4. Cozy Lounge Areas
Guests love a cozy corner to sip a drink and chat. Set up a lounge space with vintage furniture, soft throws, and string lights. It’s perfect for photos and adds a homey touch to your outdoor wedding decor.
Bonus points if you add a fire pit and s’mores bar nearby - We have both!
5. Statement Arches and Aisle Runners
Our handcrafted ceremony arbor, covered in autumn florals or our macrame install, makes a stunning focal point. Add a patterned rug or foliage-lined aisle runner for extra flair.
These details frame your ceremony and give your photographer a perfect setting for dreamy portrait shots.
6. Seasonal Touches in the Menu
Pumpkin spice lattes, apple cider bars, and mini pecan pies are showing up on more fall menus. Serve comfort foods that celebrate the season and add a personal touch your guests will remember.
7. Moody Candlelight and String Lights
As the sun sets earlier in fall, lighting becomes a key part of your wedding decor. Candles, lanterns, and Edison bulb string lights set a magical mood for your reception.
Here at The Daughters Barn, our open-air layout makes lighting design easy—and unforgettable.
