If you’ve been dreaming of a warm, romantic fall wedding filled with texture, color, and cozy charm — you’re in the right place. Abby & Derek’s October celebration at The Bridge Lemont brought all of that to life and more.
Their wedding day was a love letter to the season: burnt orange and golden florals, mini pumpkins at every turn, cozy cocktail hour lounge moments, and a jaw-dropping reception setup in our industrial-chic ballroom. If you’re planning a fall wedding, consider this your new vision board.
Warm Tones + Bold Blooms
Designed by Avery Willow Designs, the florals layered deep burgundy, blush, rust, and golden yellow tones with lush greenery and seasonal accents like rose hips and fall leaves. From Abby’s bouquet to the ceremony pergola, sweetheart table, and cocktail lounge styling, the floral design felt vibrant and grounded in autumn.
A Ceremony Under the Pergola
The couple exchanged vows beneath our vaulted black pergola, surrounded by climbing florals, red maple branches, and pumpkin-lined aisles. The warm wood beams and softly lit lanterns created an intimate atmosphere, while the seasonal color palette brought a bold, unforgettable energy to the space.
A Cocktail Hour by the Fireplace
Before the ballroom opened, guests gathered in our cozy cocktail room — complete with a glowing fireplace, navy velvet seating, and a rustic stone mantel dressed with seasonal garlands and pumpkins. It was the perfect place to sip a fall cocktail and soak in the atmosphere before the grand reveal.
Ballroom Reception with Major Autumn Energy
Inside our signature ballroom, the reception space was transformed. Abby & Derek’s sweetheart table stole the show, placed in front of our reclaimed wood wall and surrounded by flickering candles and mounds of pumpkins in every color.
Their table overflowed with florals, taper candles, and layered greenery — creating a lush focal point that felt straight out of a fall fairytale. The rich textures and dramatic lighting made every photo feel warm, intimate, and full of story.
Bridal Party Style We Loved
Abby’s romantic lace gown featured off-the-shoulder sleeves and floral appliqué, complemented perfectly by her bridesmaids in silky rust-toned dresses. The bridal party looked radiant against the wooden textures of our venue — and their laughter and connection brought even more life to the day.
