Unlike most of the country, Arizona in November is a dream. Average temperatures reach high-70’s and low-80’s, meaning November is when we’re hitting our stride and it’s the perfect time of year to host a Fall wedding or corporate event. It’s also the perfect time to get together with friends and family to throw your annual Friendsgiving event. Afterall, Thanksgiving and the holiday season right around the corner! Today’s post features decor ideas perfect for your November events. Check em out!
All Hail the Great Outdoors
From the Grand Canyon to Lake Powell to the Great Basin and Sonoran deserts, Arizona has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. If you’re looking for decor ideas for your November event, take inspiration from our stunning state. Bringing the outdoors inside is also a great way to juxtapose your decor against the metropolitan feel of Phoenix.
To incorporate outdoor decor for your event, add foliage like cactus, succulents, and branches. Mix in elements like natural wild flowers, antlers, and wood with earthy tones like browns and greens. No matter what Phoenix wedding venue you use, you can create an ode to nature with specific decor items. We love the outdoor-inspired centerpiece ideas from Inside Weddings below.
On-Trend Colors
Colors play a huge role in shaping mood, atmosphere, and intention at events. For formal events the color pallette is almost always subdued by sticking to neutrals and classic color combinations. For more informal events, the color palettes are typically bright and current. Determining the best-fitting color palette for your event is an important step in conveying the intention of your event. For November weddings and get togethers, many people go with traditional, tried-and-true Fall color inspiration. Colors like earthy reds, deep oranges, muted yellows, and deep greens make for trendy color picks this year. Pantone, the company responsible for the Pantone Color Matching system and charged with picking the ‘Color(s) of the Year’ every year, reported the following color combinations as on-trend for Fall 2016.

Geometric Shapes
Geometric shapes, ala three-dimensional hexagons, triangles, and octagons, have become increasingly popular in recent years. From hanging plant atriums to prism wall decor, geometric shapes are popping up everywhere. So, it’s no surprise that this popular trend is making its way into the event and wedding space. These decor pieces can be used in numerous ways; use the shapes to add texture to center piece arrangements, incorporate with hung lighting, or use as theme-inspiration.

Friendsgiving Fun!
The rise of Friendsgiving and co-worker Thanksgiving events in November stems from the idea of celebrating and giving thanks to the many people in your life that make your life so special; specifically those that aren’t family members. Afterall, most people spend Thanksgiving and the holidays primarily with family (and rightfully so!) These new events take the time to celebrate the many friendships and work relationships in your life.
While many Thanksgiving meals are more formal, Friendsgiving events are typically more informal. Perfect decor items include: friendship quotes, brighter colors, tassels, ribbons, pictures highlighting friendship, etc. Check out the fun Friendsgiving idea from A Beautiful Mess below.
