Fall weddings are a timeless choice, and when it comes to hosting a magical autumn celebration, Saint John’s Resort stands out as a premier venue. This wedding venue is an idyllic backdrop for couples seeking a romantic and luxurious setting for their celebration.
Saint John’s Resort offers a perfect blend of elegance, charm, and convenience. This venue boasts sprawling grounds, stunning architecture, and top-notch amenities. With spacious banquet halls, picturesque outdoor spaces, and exceptional service, couples can rest assured that their wedding day will be seamlessly executed. But this blog post isn’t about the venue…it’s about Ashley & Aaron’s wedding there!
When it comes to wedding decor, the mantra of “more is sometimes more” holds true, especially for fall celebrations. Imagine walking into a venue adorned with lush fabrics, gold accents, and twinkling lights—it’s a scene straight out of a fairytale. Saint John’s Resort Atrium provides the ideal canvas for planners to flex their design muscles & couples to bring their dream wedding decor to life. In this case, the bride’s mom DIY’d much of the decor! She even provided a moving company to help move items around the venue (which is a strategy I am going to keep in mind for the future)!
To create a sense of opulence and warmth, consider incorporating lush fabrics like velvet and silk. Ashley & Aaron chose deep burgundy velvet table runners, luxurious colors, and romantic floral. The rich burgundy color palette is not only on-trend but also evokes a sense of romance and sophistication.
For a touch of glamour, gold accents punctuate throughout the decor. Gold chargers, ornate candle holders, and metallic calligraphy on accent pieces can add a touch of luxury. Complementing the gold is the soft glow of twinkle lights, creating a magical ambiance that enchanted their guests as they celebrated all night long!
Embracing the autumn theme, they added charming fall accents like pumpkins and acorns scattered on tables. (Tip: to better incorporate items like this and keep the design cohesive, spray pain them to match the color palette! In this case, gold.) These simple yet festive touches added a touch of seasonal fun!
Saint John’s Resort provided the perfect backdrop for a dreamy fall affair. By embracing the “more is sometimes more” philosophy and incorporating lush fabrics, gold accents, and fun fall details, Ashley & Aaron transformed their wedding into a magical celebration that will be remembered for years to come!

I realized wedding planning was my passion when, after working a 12-hour wedding day, I came home and was so energized that I couldn’t go to sleep. I had just worked an entire day, on my feet, and was ready to plan the next event instead of heading to bed! In former careers, an 8-hour shift would leave me exhausted. This new-found energy around my work was very welcomed! Now I plan weddings all around the Metro Detroit & Ann Arbor areas.
