She's fallen in love and gathered all her gal pals to celebrate the upcoming nuptials with an untraditional gorgeous pastel hued color palette! We brought the outdoors in for this bridal brunch with a vibe that's more glam than rustic. Eye catching shades of coral, yellow, blush and grey were applied to pumpkins and leaves and offered a calming welcome effect to the changing of seasons. We're sure you'll fall in love with all the beautiful details!
Our pastel take on a traditional fall theme made guests feel right at home. The soothing color palette was both sophisticated and cozy all at once.
A striking Color Blocked Leaf Wall Hanging, which hung from a gold-painted branch we found in the yard, decorated the wall in our space and helped to bring the outdoors in.
We love that it added to the charm of our theme without being too overpowering. Guests were enamored with its clean and simplistic beauty.
Large fall leaves were painted and then attached to gold baker's twine with gold washi tape.
A bit of gold foil was added to the leaves at random and love the touch of glam and texture it provided.

The Tablescape
Guests were smitten with the untraditional soothing palette of our Color Blocked Table Centerpiece.
We started by lining the center of our table with a swath of lavish champagne draping fabric.
We then piled on a plethora of coral, yellow, blush and grey painted mini pumpkins to evoke the feeling of fall.
White flameless candles and pink bud vases, filled with blush, yellow and coral blooms, were then brought in to round out the look.
The birch pillars and centerpieces provided an abundance of texture and continued the notion of bringing the outdoors in.

Beautiful Fall Place Settings
We're all for the layered approach when it comes to our table settings. Painted floral napkins rested between pink chevron dessert plates and the gold-edged dinner plates. We love the look brought about by the mix of the unexpected patterns.
Our signature grapefruit cocktails looked delightful served in personalized stemless champagne glasses.
As opposed to a traditional charger or placemat, we painted wooden leaf signs mustard yellow and placed them under our plates. We love how they tied in with our Color Blocked Leaf Wall Hanging.
Hammered gold forks sat atop our dinner plates and our DIY Geometric Color Blocked Place Cards made a statement in the center of each place setting.
Macarons, tucked into the cutest little clear round favor boxes and tied up with baker's twine and a sweet pumpkin charm to coordinate with our theme, sat at each place setting.
Bridesmaid and maid of honor stemless champagne glasses were the perfect take-home gift that could be reused the day of the wedding as well.
Sweet Fall Bar Cart
A simple and sweet bar cart was set up in the corner of our room and held our dessert and the guests' gifts.
I love the uncomplicated beauty of naked cakes. Ours looked diving resting atop a pink cake plate and was topped with beautiful coral and blush blooms.
The cutest mini coral kraft bags held gifts for our guests. They received an easy upgrade thanks to a little bit of paint.
A ceramic vase, painted pale pink, was filled with lush florals and sat atop a large birch centerpiece and provided a nice pop of color to the right side of the bar cart. A small flower-filled pink bud vase sat next to the cake and was given height thanks to a small birch pillar.
The bottom of our bar cart was filled with a plethora pretty painted mini fall pumpkins, large foam pumpkins, fresh flowers and faux greenery. Such a simple way to bring in a ton of color and tie in the theme.
