All of your family and friends are in town for Thanksgiving weekend....spending time with them and eating delicious food, what a wonderful combination. Why not make it even more special and add in a celebration of marriage!
Invitations:
Make sure to send save the date cards as soon as you know since it is a holiday. Off white or ivory invitations embossed with pressed autumn leaves are a beautiful touch, you can also use acorns, fall flowers, or seasonal fruit.
Centerpeices:
Carve out pumpkins and put votive candles inside, or use leaf or pumpkin shaped floating candles in a bowl placed on a autumn decorated plate, or lay out seasonal fruits sprayed with a golden sparkle on gold plates with votive candles randomly placed ontop.
Decorations: Use cornucopias with fall flowers or seasonal fruits, pumpkins, gourds and corn stalks throughout the room.
Colors: Autumn colors: Rust, Burgundy, Brown, Tan, Gold, Orange, Yellow, cranberry, wine, hunter green.
Attire: Brides dress- off white or cream with leafy embroidery or gold beading and a shawl or wrap since the weather may be chilly
Bridesmaids- fall colors in warm material/long sleeves for the cool weather
Groom & groomsmen: Tan, beige, or brown with ties matching the bridesmaids fall color dresses.
Flowers: Chrysanthemums, roses, daisies, dahlias, lilies, yarrow, orchids, hydrangeas, sunflowers, baby breath, fall leaves, tallow berries, dried wheat.
Food:
Do NOT serve a traditional Turkey dinner if your wedding is the weekend right after Thanksgiving. Not many people will want to eat more turkey so soon after. Instead, serve a marinated pork roast, mashed potatoes, honey glazed butternut squash, baby carrots, green beans, soup in a hollowed pumpkin, warm apple cider, pumpkin pie or apple pie
Cake: pumpkin flavored, chocolate, or spice
Favors: candy or caramel apples
These are just a few ideas to make your Thanksgiving themed wedding special, but there are so many more possibilities to use your own creativity to add something unique to your special day.
