Are you looking for the best fall wedding trends this year? If there’s one couple who truly embraced the magic of fall in Pittsburgh, it’s Marissa and Vitto. Their wedding was an unforgettable celebration of love, style, and the warm, slightly moody vibes that make autumn weddings so enchanting. The Art Room in Pittsburgh was the perfect venue for their intimate gathering. It seamlessly combined industrial charm with the cozy elegance that only fall can bring.

The Venue: The Art Room Pittsburgh

Tucked away in the heart of Pittsburgh, The Art Room is a gem of a venue for couples looking for a unique, urban space to tie the knot. This boutique venue boasts an intimate industrial aesthetic. It features exposed brick walls, sleek concrete floors, and large windows that let in the soft, natural light. Its minimalist design is the perfect blank canvas for any wedding style, but it truly shines during the fall season.

A Fall Design That Stole the Show

Marissa and Vitto’s wedding design was a masterclass in embracing the season. Their warm, earthy color palette accented by gold details—like the delicate candlesticks and vintage flatware—added just the right amount of sparkle to the tablescapes without overwhelming the organic feel.

The floral arrangements looked lush and natural. Locally sourced flowers were a nod to the couple’s commitment to sustainability, an intentional choice that fit beautifully into the overall design.

The bridal party was equally on theme. Marissa’s bridesmaids stunned in velvet ruby gowns, while Vitto and his groomsmen opted for traditional tailored suits and bowties for elegance. Meanwhile, Vitto’s modern slip-on loafers gave his look a sophisticated yet relaxed edge. Their couple’s portraits—complete with a direct flash for a moody, editorial vibe—were nothing short of breathtaking.

The Details: Fall Wedding Trends That Made Marissa & Vitto’s Day Shine

Are you planning a fall wedding and looking for inspiration? Marissa and Vitto’s celebration highlighted some of the best fall wedding trends you’ll see this year. Here’s how they brought the season to life at The Art Room:

1. Warm, Earthy Color Palettes

Marissa and Vitto embraced fall’s best hues for their wedding design. The palette was a splash of deep burgundy, burnt orange, and mustard yellow, balanced by soft taupe and olive green accents.

These colors created a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly complemented the venue’s industrial aesthetic.

2. Eco-Friendly Touches

A high-end wedding doesn’t have to leave a large carbon footprint. You can keep sustainability in mind with your wedding décor. Use locally sourced florals and in-season blooms. If you love this look, you may also opt for vintage brass candlesticks and glassware rentals to minimize waste and add a timeless touch to your tablescapes.

3. Botanical & Nature-Inspired Elements

Marissa and Vitto brought the outdoors in by incorporating lush greenery and earthy textures into their décor. I fell in love with their seasonal blooms, like dahlias and chrysanthemums, paired with fall foliage and pampas grass for texture.

The Art Room’s industrial vibe was softened with organic details, creating a warm and elevated rustic style.

4. Textured Fabrics & Layered Fashion

Fashion took center stage at Marissa and Vitto’s wedding. Marissa’s bridesmaids looked elegant in show-stopping ruby velvet dresses. Play around with layers, fabrics, and textures. These are perfect for the cooler fall weather, adding warmth and richness. For the gentlemen, I love the trend of velvet dinner jackets for a chic, autumnal twist.

5. Seasonal Food & Drinks

Who doesn’t look forward to the flavors of fall each year? Serve up dishes like roasted root vegetables and beef tenderloin alongside seasonal soups and salads. Consider a fall-inspired signature cocktail like an apple-cinnamon bourbon smash.

And for dessert? A pie bar is guaranteed to steal the show, featuring fall favorites like pumpkin, pecan, and apple pies—all in addition to the traditional Pittsburgh cookie table, of course.

6. Candles for a Cozy Glow

Shorter days call for extra light. Use an abundance of candles, chandeliers, and even hanging floral installations to create a moody, intimate atmosphere at The Art Room. 

7. Unique Fall-Inspired Favors

Even your wedding favors can showcase the season. Send guests home with small jars of locally sourced honey, tied with a thank-you note that reads, “Love is sweet.” It was a thoughtful, practical favor that felt perfectly on theme with their warm, autumnal celebration.

8. Moody Photography

And finally, we leaned into the moody vibe for some of Marissa and Vitto’s wedding pictures, too. I probably wouldn’t recommend going all moody, but it’ll add variety to your more creative, editorial, and fine art couple’s portraits. Let’s try a few and see what you think!
