Rich Colors Abound This Fall Wedding in Tennessee
I photographed Mara and Josh’s wedding day, which unfolded like a scene straight out of a fairytale. It was held in October in the heart of Tennessee’s fall season. The venue was on fire with color. Bright red, orange, and yellow leaves everywhere—the best backdrop ever for a fall wedding in Tennessee.
The venue was The Barn at Faith Farms in Athens, Tennessee, just an hour from Knoxville. From the second I walked in, I could tell they’d planned everything around a fall vision. The clothes, the decorations, everything – it all came together perfectly to celebrate the beauty of fall.
The Barn at Faith Farms in Athens
The couple found a venue for their dream fall wedding at The Barn at Faith Farms in Athens, Tennessee, about an hour from Knoxville. The place had a beautiful view, and on that day, it gave a rustic vibe that matched their idea of a cozy celebration.
The barn itself is beautiful—all weathered wood on the outside that looked elegant in a laid-back way. Inside, exposed beams made it super cozy. The best part? The place was bursting with fall colors—the perfect backdrop for Mara and Josh’s unique style to show off.
Stylish Fall Wedding Palette
The fall theme at this wedding was seriously on point. Like a fall explosion, they went all out with these amazing colors everywhere you looked. It felt like a Tennessee autumn dream.
Groom Suit
Josh stole the show a bit with his outfit. Forget the typical black or gray tux; he rocked a burnt orange suit. It fit his personality and looked amazing with the fall vibe going on. It stood out, but in the best way possible, like a pop of awesome in the middle of a beautiful painting.
Bridesmaid Dresses
Josh wasn’t the only one rocking the fall theme. The bridesmaids matched his burnt orange suit with dresses in the same color but in a way that flattered everyone. The gowns and silhouettes added a thoughtful touch that showcased their personalities while achieving a cohesive look that perfectly complemented the fall theme.
Bouquets
The bouquets were like an explosion of fall foliage mirroring the vibrant colors that defined the day. They included a mix of sunflowers in various stages of bloom, peach roses, and pops of burgundy amaranth mixed within a lush greenery, creating breathtaking arrangements that paid homage to the couple’s chosen fall theme. The blooms’ vivid and rich hues perfectly captured the season’s spirit, infusing the big day with natural beauty and grace.
Every section of the wedding, including the decorations and invitations, kept the fall theme going strong. They had amazing displays with deep reds, burnt oranges, and tons of green everywhere. The tables had centerpieces overflowing with rustic wedding details, and the invitations had warm, inviting colors. Everything at this wedding screamed fall in the best way possible. It looked super stylish and captured that feeling of autumn magic.
