No. Stop being pessimistic. November is wonderful. These are bright clusters of red rowan and shaggy green branches of pine trees. This is the first fluffy snow and frost that has managed to bind the annoying puddles. This is the aroma of late apples, pears and the variety of a vegetable basket.

Wedding concept
I didn’t think about the concept for long. I wanted a holiday in the style of European classics - light colors, elegant details, gentle image. I was very happy when Venera Brezina agreed to arrange my wedding; I even pushed back the shooting date by a few days to wait for her from vacation, before which she had already gone to the base and ordered flowers. The remaining part, my favorite, was on me - the decor and all the details. My favorite color is burgundy, so we went with that. Because Since the wedding took place in November, we chose the palette of fading autumn.

November wedding venue and decor ideas
November is not the time for wedding rush. Therefore, the newlyweds have a great opportunity to organize a painting and a fuss-free wedding ceremony.
This is a good reason for outdoor painting. But still, you shouldn’t rely on weather conditions for painting outdoors, since November is too unpredictable.
It is better to use picturesque places near lakes or in the forest for walks and photo shoots in November. And organize the painting itself on the terrace of a country house.
The ceremonies look quite original against the backdrop of a glass wall, behind which the November weather is raging. The contrast of comfort, warm ambience, gentle tones with the piercing wind, shaking leaves and dark colors creates a stunning effect.
But when it is problematic to take out all the guests, you can stop at a city banquet in a restaurant.
We decorate the wedding with leaves, branches, rowan berries
Such natural materials are a must-have for a November wedding.
Use multi-colored maple leaves to create an arch. Bouquets and interesting compositions are created from bright leaves and twigs of rowan. Leaves can also be used to mark the seats of guests.
Make a wishing tree from an unusual branch or use the branches to create table decorations.
Apples in wedding decor in November
It would simply be unforgivable to miss out on such a wonderful autumn accessory.
Apples fit perfectly into any fall wedding theme. The brightness of the colorful palette of autumn apples will help create unforgettable compositions. Moreover, this fall, simplicity in design is in fashion. Apples are used both as place cards, and in the form of gifts and compliments for guests, and simply in design solutions, in bouquets.
Pumpkin in November wedding decor
Other gifts of autumn will also be appropriate at a wedding in November. Pay attention to the pumpkin.
It is simply stupid to classify this bright, stylish autumn vegetable only as a symbol of Halloween. Moreover, the holiday, which has Western Catholic roots and history, has not become so dear to our compatriots.
For us, a pumpkin is rather a symbol of autumn, a symbol of harvest, wealth and prosperity.
Place pumpkins on tables, use them as flowerpots, candle stands, and bases for compositions. Pumpkins will also look good as a decoration for a room or local area. Pumpkins are also used for photo zones.
A wedding photo shoot in November looks great with pumpkins and other autumn gifts.
Stones in November wedding decor
Don’t be surprised, the most ordinary stones, which can be collected both on forest paths and on the seashore in summer, will fit perfectly into the interior of a wedding in November.
Such simple material will decorate flowerpots, can become place cards, numbers for a wedding lottery, or simply an element of compositions.
Acrylic paints will help give the stones a stylish look, with which you can apply the necessary marks or paint them in the required shades.
You can use fabric, lace or ribbons along with the stones to create a special stylish look.
Eco details for a wedding in November
Rustic motifs in wedding decor for a November wedding include natural and natural details.
Therefore, nuts with cones, acorns, moss, and even unusual benches, fences made of branches, and even barrels would be appropriate for decorating rooms. Supplement all this with rowan branches, compositions of dry branches, Christmas tree paws and the wedding decor will be extraordinary.
What does November weather promise for newlyweds?
At the end of autumn, it is difficult to predict what surprises the gloomy November sky has in store. Within one day it can please you with bright sunshine, scare you with sleet or pouring rain, or chill you to the bones with the first frosts. What do all these weather vagaries promise for lovers?
- Heavy rain or sticky snow flakes are unlikely to please young people during a photo shoot or when walking to memorable places. However, a spoiled event should not be upsetting. After all, the sign promises a prosperous family life and many years of joint happiness.
- The bride will be especially lucky if the ground is covered with the first snow on the night before the wedding. Don’t hesitate and run along it barefoot early in the morning. Then you will remain the only woman in the world for your beloved for the rest of your life.
- For young men getting married in November, there is also a special ritual that allows them to tie their beloved for life. To do this, just go outside in the morning, pick up a leaf and a sprig of rowan. If you give a leaf to the first woman you meet, then the wife will spend her entire life circling next to her husband, like a falling leaf around a tree trunk. The bunch is intended for the man, so that the young family will never know the need.
- But a windy day is not a very happy omen. It promises young people an unstable relationship, and perhaps even betrayal by one of the spouses. An open lock under the threshold of a church or parental apartment can save the situation. If after the wedding ceremony it is tightly locked and the key is buried away, then the relationship between lovers will withstand any ups and downs of married life.
Banquet and refreshments at a wedding in November
We do not shy away from the chosen theme of naturalness and naturalness when decorating tables and creating banquet menus.
Every detail should convey notes of family comfort and love.
November wedding table
A special atmosphere will be created by lit candles on the tables. When serving, it is better to use dishes of the same style.
Plates and flowerpots with gilding will look beautiful. It is better to use napkins to match the wedding color scheme. “Sprinkle” the glasses with artificial frost. Let them sparkle like the first November snow.
The autumn abundance of fruits and vegetables helps not only to diversify serving ideas, but also to prepare many interesting dishes. The menu simply must include grilled vegetables, mushrooms, and fruit pies.
In November, the idea of a buffet is not entirely appropriate.
The cold forces guests to warm themselves with something. And those invited do not always choose outdoor games or dancing for this purpose. To avoid strong alcoholic drinks to warm you up, be sure to include hot dishes in the menu.
And if the banquet begins immediately after a walk, it is better to change traditions and start not with light salads and festive snacks, but with serving hot dishes. They will envelop guests with their unforgettable aromas and, of course, warm them up.
In November, you can already put various punches and grog on the tables. Even ladies will like such warming drinks with rum.
Wedding cake in November
The cake occupies a special place on the wedding table. How should it be different at a November wedding?
Of course, the design. To do this, you can make leaves and bunches of rowan from mastic.
Fruits, even fresh ones, would also be appropriate on the cake as decoration, as well as berries.
Chocolate cakes or sweets with chocolate icing fit perfectly into the November theme.
Wedding printing
Guests should learn about the theme of the wedding when they receive invitations.
Therefore, try to ensure that the notes of November are visible in your wedding printing.
Guests can be told about the original direction of the celebration by leaves used as decorations or photos of the newlyweds against the backdrop of a landscape with fallen leaves. Such elements can be used in any printing paraphernalia: in the design of invitations, wish lists or wish lists, seating lists, wish cards.
Wedding procession in November
When decorating cars in a wedding cortege for a November wedding, you can move away from standard solutions.
Take golden ears of wheat, branches with ripe bunches of rowan or viburnum for decoration, and weave garlands of multi-colored foliage. Such unusual ideas will attract the attention of not only guests, but also passers-by on the street.
And even if strangers, looking at your wedding cortege, rejoice at your happiness and wish you mental happiness.
What day of the week should you choose for your wedding?
If you believe folk superstitions, then for a wedding you need to choose not only the month, but also the day of the week. Let's consider which days are best to organize a wedding day.
Signs of a wedding on different days of the week:
- Monday is a difficult day, not advisable for registering a marriage. There will be a difficult relationship between the spouses.
- Tuesday - there will be many conflicts in the family, an unlucky day for marriage.
- Wednesday is an ideal day for marriage for people who advocate open relationships. If a couple wants to create a strong family where love and warmth reign, it is better to choose another day for painting.
- Thursday is a bad day for a wedding. The family will face frequent quarrels, betrayals, and feelings of love for each other will quickly fade away. It is better to refuse to register a marriage on this day.
- Friday, Saturday, Sunday - a wedding these days promises a long and happy family life.
Wedding bouquet in November
Seasonal flowers add a special flavor to autumn wedding bouquets.
And it doesn’t have to be roses, which have long been considered an integral attribute of a wedding. Consider using wheat ears and autumn foliage in a bouquet. Take a closer look at trendy succulents.
Don’t forget about the autumn symbol of innocence – fragrant freesia, and the symbol of love – asters.
Chrysanthemums and gerberas would be appropriate in a November wedding bouquet. Add apples, cones, bunches of viburnum, and ripe rose hips to the flowers. And if you still want a bouquet of roses, consider the option of roses made from fallen leaves.
Details
Choosing a wedding day in November
...it’s worth turning to the lunar calendar. You should not get married on the new moon (November 15 and 25) or the waning moon, as well as on the days of eclipses (both lunar and solar).
The growing moon promises happiness and prosperity for a married couple.
Following church traditions, the day is very favorable for the birth of a new Philip family, as well as the feast of the miraculous Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. These church holidays are most conducive to family well-being. At the end of November (28th), the Nativity Fast begins; at this time, wedding ceremonies are not held in the church and celebrating a wedding is also not recommended.
You can use numerology to determine good days for a wedding ceremony. All numbers in the date of birth should be summed up in order, and the result will become an omen. According to this science, the following numbers will be a successful union: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.
To decorate the banquet hall, you can use attributes donated by Madame Autumn herself: bright autumn foliage, beautiful apples, juicy rowan berries, vegetables, etc.
Wedding tables
...it is worth covering with tablecloths in brown, coffee or burgundy shades, while orange or white napkins are perfect for contrast. You should use accessories in colors that match the autumn theme: bright pumpkins, rich red or orange flowers, apples, candles, maple leaves, pine cones, garlands with pleasant warm light and even driftwood with unusual shapes. The main goal is to create a comfortable and cozy atmosphere at the holiday. If the event coincides with the date of Halloween, which is loved by the younger generation, then the wedding menu can be diversified with dishes made from pumpkin. Such a wedding will definitely be remembered for a long time!
As for wedding dresses for newlyweds, it is best if they are made of thick fabrics. For a bride, a dress with long sleeves and a closed top can be an excellent choice. In addition, the outfit can be perfectly complemented with a fur cape or short fur coat, and a fashionable black raincoat is ideal for the groom. Shoes should be selected in two types: for the street and for a banquet.
A wedding bouquet made of autumn flowers will add a special flavor to the bride's image. An original combination is the bride's bouquet of incomparable roses and maple leaves.
Gifts for guests at a wedding in November
Place gifts in bags. The main thing is to choose the right fabric.
Take coarse burlap, which is used to make original bonbonniere bags. They can be filled like regular bonbonnieres with chocolates, lollipops, and cookies.
But the fashion for bonbonnieres is gradually becoming a thing of the past. Today, young people are trying to give guests more original souvenirs.
Take advantage of seasonal gift ideas for guests. These can be jars of jam, honey or jam.
More substantial gift options are also suitable. Seasonal gifts in the form of warm blankets, scarves, and pillows will help you warm up and surprise your guests.
