Seasonal Wedding trends to inspire your fall or winter wedding.

September 2024

As the crisp air of fall settles in and the cozy warmth of winter approaches, there's no better time to say "I do" at The Palmetto Room in Laurens, South Carolina.

This season, couples are leaning into the beauty of the colder months with trends that perfectly complement the charm and elegance of our historic venue.

Autumnal Color Palettes and Décor: Deep hues like wine reds, pumpkin orange, and forest greens are taking center stage this fall. These rich tones paired with rustic wood accents and farm-grown flowers create an inviting atmosphere that’s both warm and luxurious. Think wooden lanterns, bold floral arrangements with dahlias and sunflowers, and even seasonal elements like pumpkins and fall foliage to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside.

Cozy and Elegant Winter Themes: Winter weddings are embracing elegance with rich color schemes such as burgundy, navy, and gold. Brides are choosing gowns with stylish statement sleeves to add a touch of warmth without sacrificing style. For décor, imagine cascading greenery, twinkling lights, and perhaps even a hot cider bar to keep guests warm and festive throughout the evening.

Seasonal Menus and Signature Cocktails: Autumn and winter also offer a chance to delight your guests with seasonal flavors. Consider a menu that includes comfort foods like braised ribs or wild mushroom risotto, followed by fall-inspired desserts like cinnamon-sugar donuts or a beautifully rustic naked cake adorned with figs and flowers. Don’t forget the drinks! Signature cocktails like apple sangria or a cinnamon old-fashioned can add that extra special touch to your celebration.

At The Palmetto Room, we’re excited to help you bring these trends to life, ensuring that your wedding is as unique and memorable as your love story.
