Embracing Nature's Colors

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of fall is all the colors. You are already surrounded by the bright colors of nature at Bishop Farm. So why not give this a try? Picture a color scheme with dark reds burnt oranges and bright yellows in the middle. Add some soft whites and greens to the mix to make it less intense.

Using flowers that are in season and grown in your area such as chrysanthemums marigolds and sunflowers can make the natural beauty even more beautiful. Put these in vases made of wood or metal to keep things real. You can use this theme for other things such as centerpieces bridal bouquets and boutonnieres. Adding wild branches with bright leaves to your arrangements makes them more fun. Adding herbs like thyme or rosemary can make your food taste even better.

Watch the lights. Use strategically placed lanterns or fairy lights to make the space feel warm and romantic as the days get shorter in the fall. These warm bundled lights and the deep colors of fall make your guests feel like they're in a place that is both cozy and never ending. And remember that you can use more than just leaves and flowers. You can also use apples pears and pumpkins as natural decorations. They bring color shape and a sense of abundance to any fall setting.

Places to sit that are comfortable and welcoming

The flaneur can't help but stop and look at the view when they walk around Bishop Farm. That's the kind of feeling you want to get across. Think of seating that is comfortable and makes guests want to sit down relax and enjoy the moment.

Put big soft pillows and warm throws on your seating areas. Pick warm colors for your wool or cashmere fabrics to match the season. This is as much about how it looks as it is about how it feels. The textures make your guests want to relax talk by the fire or just enjoy the setting. Imagine your guests snuggled up in warm blankets as they watch the sun set and bathe everything in golden light.

Put down outdoor rugs to mark the areas and keep your feet warm. Arrange the seats so that people can talk to each other. You could put it around fire pits or under fairy lights that hang from trees to make it look nice.

Rustic Elegance The Perfect Mix of Everything

Bishop Farm is the best place to get a feel for rustic elegance in the country. Now picture it details that are both very simple and very hard to understand at the same time. Burlap and bling barn wood and draped linens and other new and old things.

You can set the table with wooden tables that don't have tablecloths on them. This lets the natural grains show through. Put them on simple but pretty china maybe with gold or copper accents. Think about adding stemware that looks like it came from the past but has a modern twist.

Put different textures together in your home. Use lace or burlap runners on tables that can be lit by candles. Copper or brass candlestick holders or utensils can make a room feel warmer.

Personal touches that will help you remember things

It's the small personal details that make experiences stick in your mind. You can make the day truly yours at Bishop Farm by adding your own personal touches. This is a great way to do it in a world where everything can seem a little too impersonal.

Start with personalized welcome signs or programs that tell the story of your love. These small details help guests know what to expect. You could tell stories or memories about your relationship by painting them on old wood plaques or carving them into autumn leaves.

Another good idea is to write a story or interesting fact about how each guest knows you on their place card. Guests can see not only where they fit into your day but also how which makes for interesting conversations and strengthens relationships.

Seasonal Feasts Enjoying the Bounty

One of the best ways to connect with others is over food. Meals bring people together. This means using the seasonal bounty to make a meal that is both tasty and comforting for a wedding in the fall.

Set up a harvest table with seasonal fruits nuts cheeses and artisan breads. Picture guests picking at a table full of fall colors like ruby apples amber squash and cheeses that look like honey. It's fun and easy to make mini quiches or tarts with fall fillings like sage and caramelized onion.

You can use this theme for your main courses. When it's warm outside you can tell by the warm dishes like a hearty stew roasted vegetables and meats with herbs on them. When it comes to dessert think about pies or tarts made with apples pears or pumpkins which are all fruits that grow in the fall.

Guests will love the extra sensory experience that stations with mulled wine or apple cider cocktails bring. A selection of locally brewed beers or wines goes well with the rustic elegance giving you something rich that reminds you of the time and place.

Ending on a sweet note doesn't hurt. A dessert bar with seasonal treats like caramel apples or spiced cookies and a warm chai tea gives guests one last chance to have fun before they leave.

If you plan a wedding at Bishop Farm in the fall you'll be part of a beautiful show that changes all the time. Let the season guide you infusing your day with the authenticity and warmth that autumn naturally offers. These décor ideas will surely make for a celebration as memorable as the twinkling stars above.
