Begin with a Strong Concept
For a moody fall masquerade, the design elements that come to mind are visions of a deep, dark color palette that celebrates some of the lesser appreciated colors of fall, an impactful and romantic fall wedding centerpiece and tablescape, clever touches and notes of personalization delivered through the decorations, like crystal beaded accessories, and of course, masquerade masks, bringing a formal touch to this special wedding celebration.
A Heavily Layered Tablescape and Place Settings add Visual Interest
For the table settings, a linen in deep shimmering black was laid across a long dining table. This was overlaid with a shimmering black organza tablecloth. Clear acrylic ghost chairs were lined up and down each side of the table, while silvertone chargers set the tone for elegant black square dinner and dessert plates. White linen napkins are tied with silvertone napkin rings, embellished with black ostrich feathers. This charming touch imparts a sense of formality to the table design. Premium black forks and knives sets are a fitting match for this chic look.
Silver goblets are perfect for water on this gorgeous table, while clear crystal plastic wine glasses are perfect for a prettily colored signature cocktail. Menus are carefully tucked into pockets crafted from floral scrapbook paper, and could easily be customized to any color palette or theme.
A Signature Cocktail, Styled to Perfection
When it comes to planning a beautiful and unique wedding day, a signature beverage, like a Raspberry, Nectarine and Pomegranate Melange, is a popular choice for putting a personal touch. Paint it any color you like and pile it high with plenty of pretty stemware, trays, garnishes in small cups, personalized beverage napkins, and of course, don't forget a cute sign!
Mix Fresh Florals With Faux
For a fall masquerade themed wedding, bold and dramatic are the orders of the day. Ivory Hermes Roses and greenery blend together beautifully with live coral and ivory roses and eucalyptus greenery. Your florals can be arranged in a pretty pedestal flower vase, or, for a really unique look, try cascading florals down the side of a tall felt hat to create a stunning Floral Top Hat Centerpiece.
If you're feeling crafty, ditch the fresh flowers altogether and embrace the versatility and beauty of quality faux flowers altogether. Tie off a bridal bouquet of fall blooms with a length of black lace ribbon.
Gather Special Items to Accessorize
Your personal belongings and curated collections are the perfect place to start looking for items to accentuate a Moody Fall Masquerade wedding tablescape. Vintage frames, theater memorabilia and hand decorated masquerade masks make lovely design elements. Creating your own Matte Black Jewel Encrusted Taper Candle Holders as another way to impart the gothic look and feel of this unique wedding idea for fall.
The jeweled taper holders are encrusted with rhinestones and pearls to create a high impact look on the table, and are easy to make with basic craft supplies and taper candles. Freezing the candles overnight before use is a secret tip for avoiding drips!
Create Your Own Simple But Elegant Accents
If you're on a budget but love this luxe look, it's easy to DIY a few of the accent decor pieces on your own. Pull napkins through silver napkin rings embellished with a single black ostrich feather for a unique look that adds texture to the table. Try situating a tall grey hat in a corner next to a guest book, and embellish it with faux ivory roses. A mask also makes an easy and inexpensive cake topper to match the overall design concept.
If this dark and dramatic look resonates with your wedding style, hopefully you've found a bit of inspiration in this creative theme!
