Modern Fall Nature Center Wedding: Molly + Zack

ampersand sign

Molly + Zack’s modern fall wedding was filled with a fun mix of rustic + geometric design elements and a pretty autumn color palette – layered neutrals with mustard + green accents. They were really able to capture the feeling of fall with fun details like white + green pumpkins scattered throughout the ceremony + reception areas, and wait until you see the super cute bridesmaid’s bouquets, created by Morning Sun. Each gal carried a different bunch of seasonal blooms + foliage – so perfect for a fall wedding! Here’s more from Molly about their wedding’s inspiration + design:

Our inspiration was the outdoor surroundings of our venue. We wanted the decor to be modern with soft accents of our natural color scheme. My mom helped with the majority of the décor because she and I are both really into design + art. I am a fine arts major, so creating stuff for the wedding was important to me. Zack + I met at a coffee shop and are coffee fanatics, so we added personal touches by incorporating coffee into the decor. I dyed coffee filters for the hanging garlands and we gave out coffee that Zack roasted as favors.

Big thanks to Jenny Haas for the beautiful photography and congrats to Molly + Zack!

The tent + the deck had hanging sculptures which were made of coffee filters that I dyed and strung with fishing line. I got three different sizes of filters and various shades of fabric dye to match our overall color scheme…

Our Favorite Memory From The Wedding

When we first saw each other at the beginning of the ceremony! We decided not to see each other beforehand, so that moment was great.

Our Advice To Those Planning Now

My advice for those planning now is to get as much done as you can early on. We didn't have to rush too much and it was a lot less stressful. Also, I picked a florist whose taste matched mine and I just let her do her thing. It turned out amazing.
