DIY Fall Wedding Inspirations
When I said that we have a week of pretty on SMP, I definitely wasn’t doing this feature justice. It’s the prettiest inspiration you’ve ever seen and is sure to give you those butterflies that you get when you know you hit the wedding jackpot. Designed by Jenny Steffens of Occasions by Jenny, this is Fall inspiration with a soft, totally girly approach. And I love every bit of it. And to make it even sweeter, Jenny is sharing a few insanely simple DIY projects that would translate beautifully into any wedding during any season.

From Jenny…
I spent a fun day in my front yard and put together a fantastic inspirational/do-it-yourself table setting – perfect for a flirty Fall wedding. I chose soft, feminine colors (instead of using the typical orange, golds and yellows that are used in Fall weddings) of ivory, pink, blues and natural colors. Little Black Book member Natasha’s Mulberry & Mott made the fabulous Bee Hive Cake for the table.

Gorgeous, right. Well the best part is that the look is actually really easy to achieve. Here are some super simple DIY Projects that Jenny did…
1. Pumpkin Place Cards: To make the sweet and seasonal place cards, I spray painted mini white pumpkins a soft shimmery gold. I snipped the stems and inserted a small name card (printed on textured cardstock) into each pumpkin. A very simple, but special looking project.
2. Rose & Wheat Bouquet: Using creamy garden roses and soft pink tea roses and 10 stems of wheat, I gathered the flowers into a bouquet – taping the stems together with floral tape. Next, I added wheat around the roses, creating a collar. For the wrap, I used a small piece of burlap (that matches the table runner – and is super inexpensive!) and secured it with pearl pins… I love the mixture of rustic and refined elements.
3. Table: I used a variety of linens to achieve a luxurious feel – natural oatmeal linen as the base, a wide brown burlap runner and topped with a classic ticking stripe runner. To bring more seasonal elements to the table, I added Blue Hubbard squash on each side of our “Bee Hive” Cake created by Black Book Member Natasha’s Mulberry & Mott (Kansas City). Each place was set with vintage gold plates, classic hemstitch linen napkins, and, of course, the pumpkin place cards. For added ambiance, I added single rose blooms in bud vases that bring some floral whimsy to the table – without a big investment!
I am totally smitten with this really sweet approach to Fall decor. Who says Fall inspired weddings have to be burnt orange and reds. They can be just as sweet and pretty as any Spring or Summer affair, simply by approaching the design and the color palette differently. It’s SO cool to see a seasonal style in such a different way! LOVE. Make sure to check out Jenny’s blog for even more goodness.

Love it! This is the reason I always called you Martha.
This is so, so, so cute. I'm graduating from the University of Oregon next term and want to become an event planner- pretty much want to be Jenny!! My favorite thing is.. nope, all of it. :)
Hey, I know Claire Ryser of Visionaire Studios.. I recognized her work! She always manages to capture the personality, beauty, and essence of her clients and she definitley did that here... Makes us all want to go out there and spray paint a pumpkin or two! Beautful..
Oooh, how cool! I love seeing new takes on the autumnal theme that veer away from the browns and oranges. Those table card pumpkins are my fave.
Very inspirational. Thanks for thinking outside the colors!
Gorgeous! Since I am already married, this will inspire my Thanksgiving table! Love the mix of fabrics, the use of the squash, and the pumpkin place cards!
[...] adhering to seasonal themes, colors, elements, but have never been a big fan of autumnal oranges. Style Me Pretty has featured this slightly unconventional fall table setting & I’m in love. [...]
Beautiful! Photo's are dreamy!
Love the unexpected fall colors and classic ticking stripe...so fresh and pretty!
Beautiful flowers.
Jenny is very talented, and right here in Kansas City :) Lucky me! It looks stunning!!!
These pictures are so romantic, I love that you added the wheat to the flowers, so unexpected and pretty.
What a great idea to go with the pastels instead of the stereotypical reds and oranges. I have seen Claire Ryser, Visionaire Studios work before, and it always captures the truth of the subject and brings out the beauty even more. Great spread!
Beautiful look for fall...refreshing change from the usual color scheme. I agree with *weddings* comments that the photography look has a very romantic look. Perfect for weddings. :)
jenny! this is amazing, i'm so proud of you - on SMP!!!! congrats xoxo
