Fallen Foliage Using colored leaves gathered in the fall can add to your theme in wonderful ways!  Look at this collection of ideas and see if you don't agree!

~ Strew leaves on your cake table for an interesting look.

~ Make centerpieces with a one dollar block of florists foam or oasis, add a taper candle that coordinates with your wedding colors.  Wrap the base with some gauze and  insert the stems of brightly colored fall leaves.

~ Buy yards of inexpensive colored gauze or netting from your fabric store and use it as bunting for the entry way and the table drapes, add leaves to the netting for an inexpensive yet elegant display.

 ~ Make leaf garlands for decorating by tying stems to twine-it can be used in many  ways!

~ Buy some florists twine and the ideas are many!  Use a stem of gypsophelia or 
baby's breath ($1.00) a stem and wrap it around the twine, insert small fallen
leaves and your flower girls will have gorgeous headpieces!

~ Make your own centerpieces with a block of florists foam, chose stems of pompom mums and asters that will coordinate with your colors.  Add foliage to cover the base and you creativity will be envied!

~ Consider "Leonardis Roses" for your bouquet, with the richness of the fall colors they boast, they are a natural for a fall bouquet.  To make your own rose ball bouquet, ask your florist to reserve some that will be "half opened" the day before your wedding to ensure the fullness this type of nosegay requires.  Purchase them in a "grower's dozen if possible (usually only about 20% higher than a regular dozen and has 25!).  Wrap the stems with lace that matches your colors and add a few leaves!
