Top Fall and Winter Wedding Trends | Winter + Fall Wedding Inspiration | AL Wedding Photographer

Make your wedding dreams come to life with these top fall and winter wedding trends to watch for. If you’re in the thick of wedding planning (or creating a vision board for your future nuptials) and need some inspiration, I have exactly what you need. Fall and winter weddings are perfect for embracing the moody, dramatic aesthetic and incorporating rich colors, textures, and design accents. These are the top wedding trends you’ll be seeing throughout fall and winter! 

Moody Color Palettes

One thing I love about fall and winter weddings is how creative you can get with the overall color palette. Don’t be afraid to embrace the dark side with deep jewel tones and shades of red, orange, purple, blue, and green. From the florals to the table arrangements, you can easily tie in the fall or winter theme with hints of moody colors.

Unconventional Desserts

Skip the traditional wedding cake and go with dessert tables and unconventional treats instead. Play up the fall or winter aesthetic by serving pies or holiday-inspired cookies. Incorporate seasonal flavors like pumpkin, apple, and cranberry for an extra special and thoughtful touch to wow your wedding guests.

Romantic Dress Silhouettes

One of the best ways to capture the fall and winter vibes is through your wedding dress. This season, you’ll see many romantic silhouettes with details like long sleeves and high necks. Lace is also a timeless choice for a vintage, classically beautiful look that never goes out of style.

Textured Accents

It’s all about the details! Don’t forget to add subtle pops of texture throughout your wedding day. Some of my brides bring a faux fur cape or cardigan to wear on and off if they get chilly, which always looks glamorous. Textured accessories such as your shoes can instantly elevate your wedding aesthetic. Bouquets are also an excellent way to feature elements like pampas grass, feathers, and dried florals.

Tyler + Shelbie | Intimate Bayfront Wedding

Velvet Wedding Party Outfits

Of course, you can’t forget about the wedding party. Velvet is trending for fall and winter, so consider dressing your bridesmaids or groomsmen in the luxurious fabric. They’ll look like a million bucks and velvet photographs so well, adding elegance and dimension to your wedding snapshots.
