Autumn celebrations and events are becoming more and more popular every year. Capturing the essence of the season is vital to the success of creating an autumnal experience. At Odin Events, we specialise in turning seasonal themes into immersive experiences!
Here’s how we support you to create the perfect autumnal event:
Picking a Venue
Although autumn marks the end of summer, it is a season that celebrates the outdoors! How can you resist the crisp air, the leaves turning from yellow to brown and the crunch underneath your feet?
This is why picking a venue which showcases the beauty of the fall is so important.
Consider hosting your event in a space that incorporates the outdoors, or if inside is more your style, find a spot with big windows so you don’t miss out on the amazing autumn colour palette. A concern with choosing an outdoor venue at this time of the year is that the weather can be unpredictable, autumn can be a rainy and windy month, so you need to account for this when planning your event. Consider creating cosy sheltered areas for guests to ensure comfort, no matter the weather.
Seasonal Theming
Theming can make or break an event! To get your theming spot on, make sure to channel earthy tones such as rich oranges, deep reds, and cosy browns during the fall season. These are the colours that represent autumn, so it is important to get it right and to send your guests a clear message on what theme you are trying to purvey. Load up on pumpkins, gourds, and apples - they are major symbols within the autumnal theme!
Themed photo opportunities are an easy way to add points of interest to your event, as well as giving visitors something else to do. Hay bales, vibrant leaves, wooden signs can all be added to your photo opportunities for guests, as well as adding to the atmosphere.
Activities
There are a wide variety of activities that can be enjoyed during the Autumn season. When choosing the activities for your event, it is important to make sure you plan something that caters for all of your attendees. Some of our favourite autumnal activities include:
Arts and Craft workshops:
Autumn and crafts go hand in hand. Tailor your workshops to suit different age groups, offering fun and engaging crafts for children and more sophisticated options for adults, such as wreath-making workshops.
Pumpkin Picking:
No autumn experience is complete without pumpkins! Our pop-up pumpkin patch is the epitome of autumnal experiences, it’s one of our most popular events for a reason! Not everyone has access to a pumpkin patch due to their typically rural locations, so bringing a patch to visitors is a wonderful way to make sure everyone is included in the festivities.
