Autumn in the Chicago suburbs brings crisp air, vibrant foliage and an undeniable romance—making it one of the most popular seasons for weddings. At The Abbington Distinguished Banquets, our elegant ballrooms and exceptional service provide the perfect canvas to bring your fall wedding vision to life. If you’re planning a 2024 wedding near Glen Ellyn or Downers Grove, consider these trends to create an unforgettable celebration.
Rich, earthy tones
This year, couples are embracing deep burgundy, emerald green and warm golds. Our customizable lighting allows you to bathe your ballroom in rich hues, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. These colours pair beautifully with metallic accents and lush textures.
Dramatic floral arrangements
Fall weddings are the perfect time to showcase bold florals like dahlias, pampas grass and seasonal greenery. Our grand ballrooms provide ample space for towering centerpieces and statement installations. Work with our preferred florists or bring in your own designer to create a floral story that complements your style.
Candlelit receptions
Nothing says romance like the soft glow of candlelight. Enhance our elegant chandeliers with votive candles, lanterns and candelabras to cast a dreamy, intimate glow over your reception. Candlelight adds warmth to fall evenings and pairs beautifully with our high ceilings and neutral décor.
Comfort food menus
Couples are opting for hearty, seasonal dishes that evoke the coziness of fall—think butternut squash soup, gourmet mac and cheese and pumpkin‑spiced desserts. Our culinary team is happy to customize your menu with autumnal flavors, ensuring that every bite reflects the season. Learn more about our culinary offerings on the Food & Beverage page.
