Autumn is one of the most visual of seasons; there are just so many different colours to work with! There has always been something magical about this season that really allows people to get creative.

It’s not just a season of change in nature, it also sees conferences, exhibitions and corporate events burst back into life after the slower summer months, while summer festivals and open-air celebrations taper off.

To help inspire your post-Summer events, we’ve picked out 6 different Autumn themes based on some of our favourite Pinterest images. For even more creative visual stimulation, make sure to check us out on Pinterest too!

Leaves

Who would have guessed that leaves would play a part in this autumnal post? We know it’s kind of an obvious choice, but there are so many ways to use leaves. As you can see here, these jars have leaf decoupage with lights added to them to create amazing eye-catching features. There seem to be a million and one different things you can do with leaves, make sure to check our Pinterest board for more ideas!

Magic

Autumn has always been described as a magical season, so why not play on this by adding some magic touches of your own? Here is a great example of creating some Snow White-esque decorations (or big snacks). These apples would go very well with autumnal colours, and the sticks emulate the bare branches you see on trees during this season.

Pimp up nature

We saw these and just thought they were a great example of  how you can pimp up nature. If your event is a bit glitzy and glamorous, you can keep that theme going and still add some autumnal  elements into the mix. Check out our Autumn Themes Pinterest Board to see some other examples of pimping up nature.

Simplicity

To totally go against the above, instead of pimping nature, why not just let it do what it does best? Like this example shows, less is more. The use of branches with different colour leaves. plus the pine cones, which scream autumn have been added here to create a very simple, elegant design that would make a great table decoration for any event.

Creative

Some people look at an apple and just see an apple. But not these guys!  Although normally associate with Halloween , this apple popping scene has been transformed to create something totally unique. Who would ever think of using apples as candle holders? We certainly didn’t until now.  There’s loads of different ways people have gotten creative with all kinds of objects on Pinterest, just have a search around and prepare to be amazed!

Lighting

Autumn is the start of dark mornings and dark nights. We think adding some light to your event can really help keep people in a positive, brighter mood. Here we see a great way that lighting has been combined with natural autumn foliage to highlight all the colours and the magic it brings. Adding the right lighting, to the right places can really create an amazing scene.
