Even so, many of us are finding ways to bring some of nature indoors by decorating with fall leaves. Fashioning them into table centerpieces, wreaths, candle rings and napkin holders are just some of their uses. (above: Carolyn Roehm, Presentations) One of the best things about fall is the color palette. I love the warm hues and earth tones that reflect the changing leaves, perfect for a Fall wedding! Decorating a wedding in autumn is almost effortless because nature does most of the work. A variety of dried leaves all in deep autumnal hues, need only minimal arranging for a lovely effect. (above: Better Homes and Gardens, Acorn leaf napkin ring kit, $9.99, Martha Stewart crafts) Did you know that Fall is the second biggest wedding season after summer? If you’re planning a Fall wedding, incorporate leaves into your 'special day 'with some of these festive, leafy decorations. (above: Autumn wreath kit, $24.99, Martha Stewart crafts; Grooms cake, The Knot; Fall bouquet, $80.00, Kate Parker Weddings via handcrafted wedding; Autumn leaf wreath, Better Homes and Gardens). According to Martha Stewart, if you are going to be using fallen leaves, gather them about two weeks in advance. Lay them between sheets of paper towels, then let them dry between the pages of a phone book. Replace towels every few days. When real leaves just won't do, you can still use the motif on your favor's box and wouldn't your guest be delighted to find inside leaf shaped brownies or chocolate. (above: Country Living magazine and Brides) A table with pressed leaves is perfect for your escort cards. The leaf motif can embellish the cards or you can use them as the card themselves. In an entry-hall table or as a centerpiece, complete the look with nuts and more dried leaves arranged in a glass bowl. Wreaths and garlands: Don't limit wreath-making to Christmastime; there are abundant materials available in the fall for creating lovely decorations that will last through the season. A colorful collection of preserved leaves are striking when densely clustered on a wire wreath form. Start collecting those leaves, make way for fall and winter. Full steam ahead. If collecting leaves is not for you, above are some great leaf accent plates that you could easily mix and match with your current table decor.
