Falling for you – Fall Wedding Inspiration
As the leaves begin to change colors and the air begins to chill, the season for fall weddings is fast approaching.
Fall weddings carry a unique atmosphere. The warm colors, the rustic decor, and the distinctive light create a whimsical set up for a magnetic-styled event. We’ve gathered some ideas for an event full of color and spirit.
Nature-inspired
Nature brings us such beautiful changes this time of the year, it simply has to be combined in your event! Whether it is in the fall flower arrangements, centerpieces combined with wheat and hay, and foliage leaves spread all through the decor. You can even use this easy weather to have your reception or ceremony outdoors (which is a great solution for these social distancing times), under a canopy of flowers or leaves, and bring the amazing fall lightning into your event (and photos!).

Event color palette
This is the time to go crazy with your wedding pallet choices. Not the average white and champagne, but warm, earth tones like orange, dark red, gold or jewel tones like sapphire or emerald.
Fall flowers
Take the seasonal advantage of the rustic nature to create the most amazing and rich bouquet for yourself, flower crowns for your bridesmaids, and for your SO- a floral boutonniere, that will compliment the earthy theme.

The drinks
Just in case it gets a little chilly, plan a warm beverage bar with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, warm sangria bowl, or hot ciders (alcoholic or not).

Dining
The rustic approach allows you to go the full fall bounty with grazing platters. Pile up cheeses, meats, bread, nuts and seasonal fruits for a feast styled dinner.
Wedding favors
Warm homey giveaways such as scented candles, caramel apples, tea fusions, or a small jar of scented spices. You can even DIY – what will give you extra points for the “best wedding favor ever” awards.
Few more colors for you to enjoy…

7 Things to Know About Sunflowers
The sunflower is one of the most beautiful plants on Earth, with lots of history and meaning. It’s a symbol of adoration, longevity, and loyalty, much like the Sun. To honor this unique flower which has been a wonderful source of inspiration for us, we have gathered all the unique sunflower items under one collection – the Sunflowers Collection.
Here are some more interesting stories and facts about sunflowers, that will make you go WOW:
1. There’s a lot to know about the sunflowers – Vincent van Gogh’s fascination with sunflowers is one of the most interesting works of art that we have to date. The artist painted a series during the summer of 1888, when he couldn’t leave the comfort of his house, due to bad weather. The sunflower caught his eye indoors and gave him inspiration. But it’s also a symbol of friendship, as this is what he was painting when he invited fellow painter Gauguin to join his studio.
2. A great cultural reference surrounding the sunflower comes from the Greeks. There’s this myth about Apollo and Clytie, the nymph. Apollo, the son of Zeus, was the God of Sun. The two were somewhat in love until Apollo fell for Leucothoe. Clytie became jealous and got Leucothoe killed. Apollo took revenge, turned the nymph into a flower, but even as a flower she followed him around, like sunflowers turn towards the Sun. And this is how it became a symbol of faithfulness
3. There are many meanings surrounding the sunflower around the globe. For example, Chinese people think of it as a symbol of good luck and energy, while Native Americans consider it the mark of harvest, due to its seeds, pigment and beauty.
4. The color symbolizes vitality, intelligence and happiness. Like the Sun, various religions think of it in connection with knowledge and the desire for light and truth. The Incas wore sunflowers as crowns, while modern artists like Ai WeiWei created exhibitions with sunflowers to show the relationship between the individual and the people.
5. If you are following the flowers & stones list, sunflowers can be given as a 3rd year wedding anniversary gift as a sign of adoration and strength.
6. Sunflower’s scientific name is “Helianthus” coming from the Greek words “helios” (sun) and “anthus” (flower).
7. Sunflower’s seeds are black (used for oil – for cooking or as an ingredient in the cosmetics industry) and striped (usually sold as a snack). As snacks, they’re very nutritious as a snack, as they contain a lot of calcium and good fats.
