Autumn is a very popular time to plan a fall wedding with all of nature's beauty bursting into vibrant colors. However, not all fall wedding themes are the same. Sure you can use the colors of the turning leaves as your theme setting, but why not take it further and plan your wedding around a favorite fall icon? Here are a few ideas to use:

Delicious Apples Wedding Theme

Fall is the season of apple picking. Crisp, juicy and refreshing, biting into a just-picked apple is heaven. Think about ways that you can add apples to your wedding theme. For example, you can have each guest table feature a different type of apple (Macintosh, Granny Smith, etc.) with centerpieces that highlight this wonderful fruit. Decorations could consist of balloon bouquets in the color(s) of your favorite apples. Present favors such as small apple tarts, a shiny red apple, mini apple candles or a silver apple place card holder. Serve apple cider, apple pies, applesauce and other such yummy treats.

Pretty Pumpkins Wedding Theme

Pumpkins are definitely a fall thing. For Halloween and Thanksgiving, pumpkins are featured in all sorts of ways and these two holidays present a great assortment of decorating ideas that you can use. Even small gourds work well for decorations and centerpieces. One unique idea is to hollow out a small gourd or miniature pumpkin and place votive candles inside to light up a buffet table or your gift table. A small box of pumpkin cookies, a jar of pumpkin butter, or pumpkin shaped chocolates are ideal favor ideas. Use decorations with various hues of orange and yellow that are accented with chocolate brown or dark green for an impressive color combination.

Grapes, Wine and Vineyard Themes

Colors and items related to grapes, wine and vineyards are what to focus on in this wedding theme. Grapes come in colors of green, red, purple, black... even white. They are a wonderful accent when incorporated into fruit displays and centerpieces. Wine stoppers, wine glass charms and wine goblet place card holders are favorite favors to present to guests. Be sure to use vines and greenery in your decor.

These are just three of the fall themes that you may want to consider, however that's not all of them. Other options for an autumn theme wedding include:
