We gave ingredients for a mulled wine recipe (which we had served during the reception as well) as favors. We rented copper and chocolate brown linens which really looked beautiful with the autumn leaves. We had a spice cake filled with fresh bananas and whipped cream and it was served with a maple leaf on each cake plate. Yummy!

My bridesmaids wore brown dresses which were great background for their sunflower bouquets. We gave everyone a jar of honey from our local organic farmer that we decorated with our own personal label (it said "thank you for making our wedding day so sweet!") and tied raffia ribbon around each jar with a few wheat stalk tops with one silk sunflower tucked in the ribbon to finish the whole fall look. The honey jars really looked great at each placesetting and went great with the very tall vases filled with wheat stalks and sunflowers on each table. Our cake was surrounded on a bed of autumn leaves that we washed and rewashed to get rid of any bugs before they were used on our cake table (and on our buffet table as well). Our wedding was held on a farm - the ceremony by an old oak tree and the reception was in their beautiful barn that was brand new (no animals had ever been in it!). We loved our Fall Wedding!

We had pumpkin ravioli as a first course. For dessert we had baked apples individually wrapped in pastry and toppped with candied walnuts- served with vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel sauce. It was so much better than any typical wedding cake and fit perfectly into our Autumn themed wedding.
