Dark Invitations and Stationery

Another intriguing element to consider when planning a dark wedding theme for fall is your wedding invitations and stationery. They are, after all, the first glimpse your guests will get of your wedding aesthetic. Opt for deep-colored cardstock embellished with gold or silver accents to create an aura of mysterious elegance. 

Pair this with Gothic-style fonts and perhaps a wax seal for an added vintage touch. You could even incorporate elements of your dark wedding décor into the design, like illustrations of dark-hued fall leaves or black lace patterns. From the save-the-dates to the wedding menus, each piece of stationery can be a work of art that reflects your dark, autumnal theme.

Dark Wedding Cakes
