Romantic Autumn Wedding at FringeArts Philadelphia

A Warm, Candlelit Wedding at FringeArts

Nestled beside the iconic Benjamin Franklin Bridge, FringeArts is one of Philadelphia’s most architectural and artistic venues—perfect for couples seeking a blend of industrial charm and romantic ambience. For this stunning autumn wedding, Philadelphia Event Decor transformed the space into a glowing, opulent celebration layered with texture, florals, and dramatic lighting.

The design was heavily inspired by fall botanicals, fruit-laden tablescapes, and a timeless European aesthetic. Every detail—from the golden candelabras to the velvet linens—brought warmth and richness into the space, creating a deeply romantic atmosphere.

Lush Florals & Old-World Elegance

To echo the season’s palette, we used blooms in shades of antique rose, dusty lavender, peach, and deep burgundy, paired with wild greenery and rich fall foliage. The arrangements were intentionally gathered and organic, adding movement and life to each tablescape.

Fruit-Forward Tablescapes with Velvet & Candlelight

For the reception, long wooden farm tables were draped with deep burgundy velvet runners that added depth and softness. Seasonal fruits—grapes, pears, persimmons, and figs—were woven into the florals, evoking a classic still-life aesthetic.

Candlelight: The Star of the Reception

To enhance the dramatic architecture of FringeArts, we layered candles throughout the room: tall tapers, pillars, and glowing votives in gold-rimmed glass. The effect was breathtaking—guests dined beneath romantic overhead string lights while candlelight flickered across velvet and florals.

This combination created a moody, intimate glow that brought out the richness of every color and texture.
