Fall has finally arrived, which means warm beverages and cozy scarves to combat the newfound chill in the air. For us, it means the beginning of autumn weddings and their subsequent unique details! From marsala color palettes to heartier dining options, we hold the special elements of fall weddings near and dear to our hearts. As the leaves on the trees start to change color and fall off, we’re already starting to see chic, seasonal trends being incorporated into wedding décor – one of them being the tree stump.

Tree stump detailing can be included in your big day in a variety of surprising ways: they can act as solid, natural bases for an array of floral arrangements and decorative items, as well as inspiration for cuisine displays. The varying sizes allow this element to be versatile and they can be made to be as gregarious or unassuming as you’d like.
