We are having an early September wedding… the 10th…
So far I have some birch votives, and some glass cylinder vases with the birch bark pieces to wrap around them… both the ceremony & reception are going to be at a church… I guess I am looking for ideas for other decorations to go along with the birch…. pew decorations…. wedding cake ideas… Also flowers to use. Initially I was going for more of a fall theme, but with it being so early in September, I am on the fence about things. Any ideas would be great…
Thanks.

Hello, date twin. 🙂 I think you can kind of do either summer or fall in September. What are your colors? Mine is more of a summer, I suppose, since it definitely isn’t fall but I don’t think it matters too much. I went to a fall themed wedding on September 15 once. If you want to do it, you can make it work.

As far as the fall goes, I may use flowers along the lines of sunflowers, with a mix of red, purple, orange. my bridesmaid is wearing dark brown… so will my fiance and groomsmen…. really… those are the only colors i’ve chosen. i was going to do white table cloths with burch table runners…
what would a tree theme consist of ?

Sunflowers are perfect for September! Maybe you could do a palette of brown, orange, yellow, and leaf green? That way you still get an “early fall” element. If you add red and purple it might lean a little too much towards November.
Anyway, as far as a tree theme goes, you would just carry the birch element a little further. So you already have it in your centerpieces..maybe have a tree “fingerprint” guest book, include a tree on your invitations, include some leaves in the bouquets. Its nice that trees also symbolize growth and strength. You don’t have to go overboard with it, either.
Here are a couple of ideas.
