Fall bridal shower color ideas:
There’s something so comforting about fall color combinations. When deciding on what your fall bridal shower color scheme is, choose colors that you find in nature during the autumn season and evoke warm, comfortable feelings. Think warm, fall-inspired hues like mustard, burgundy, tangerine, hunter green and nutmeg. Dark jewel tones are really on-trend this year, so you’ll also see traditional fall colours mixed in with a pop of brighter jewel tones.
Neutral tones, like navy, gray and burgundy, are also great choices for a fall wedding. Pair them with a brighter, bolder colour, like burnt orange or poppy red, and you’ll get the perfect combination of contemporary color mixed in with a traditional color scheme.
We also love adding a pop of metallics to your palette. In particular, gold, copper or rose gold can really warm up any colour scheme for fall.
Fall Decorations and Fall Centerpieces:
These fall bridal shower decoration ideas are a great way to bring the crisp outdoors and beautiful colors of the season inside to help shower the bride!
Fall Bridal Shower Decorations
We love all things fall, and you don’t have to look much further than what’s in season to inspire you for decorations! We like these ideas for adding a touch of ‘fall’ to your bridal shower decor:
-
- Pumpkins, especially fun spray-painted ones. Check out this easy DIY gold dipped pumpkin tutorial from Monica Wants It (hello, we’re totally doing this for porch decor, too!) If you don’t have time to DIY, we love these white artificial pumpkins from Amazon in varying sizes, these larger pumpkins to use either on the porch for when guests enter or on other tables/surfaces inside or these adorable gingham fabric pumpkins.
-
- Apples, everywhere – buy a bunch of bulk apples and use them everywhere for decor – on tables, on your food buffet, on the guest book sign in…they’re small and easy to put anywhere! Or buy some great looking fake apples from Amazon and add them to a rustic wooden crate or galvanized metal buckets for a rustic touch.
- Leaves – add pops for fall colour to your decorations with fall leaf decor. We love these LED leaf lights or scattering these loose artificial leaves on surfaces for a pop of colour.
- Fall wreaths – add one to the front door (like this one) to welcome guests or use a wreath hanger over a door like washroom that guests will use often.

Keep in mind that there are lots of great flavours and foods associated with fall, and it’s easy to play these up with your menu, whether you’re hosting a bridal shower brunch, bridal shower luncheon, or dinner.
