It may be hard to imagine right now with, with summer Fridays looming tantalizingly on the horizon (infinite rosé!) and the office’s air conditioner cranked to the “polar vortex” setting, but fall weddings aren’t far off. And don’t tell spring weddings we said this, but actually, autumnal affairs are some of our very favorites. Everything just feels a little more cozy and charming in the fall — bring on the #hygge vibes — and if you’re knee-deep in planning a fall wedding, there’s a *lot* to be excited about. The Instagram inspiration machine definitely delivers on this front, so let’s make like it’s a pile of leaves and dive straight in.

1. One Fell Swoop: Sometimes, the simplest solution is the best. We love how a swag of fabric makes this intimate ceremony feel grand, yet modern. It helps, of course, that the bridesmaid dresses in an array of pinks and burnt reds are spot-on. (As is, of course, the four-legged addition to the bridal party.) (via Silver Bear Creative)

8. Wood You, Could You: If you’re not using giant tree cross-sections as your centerpiece, are you really even *having* a fall wedding? We love how the rest of this tablescape keeps things super-clean, so the look is still modern and minimalist. (via Blair Lim Photography)
