As the vibrant colours of summer fade and autumn sets in, the wedding industry prepares for one of its most visually stunning seasons. Autumn weddings have a unique charm, couples plan their big day around this time of year to be able to have the backdrop autumn has to offer for a wedding ceremony.
We have created our 2024 autumn album trends so that your client’s wedding day matches their album perfectly.
Based on industry insights and the orders we’ve received, here’s a deep dive into our autumn wedding album trends for 2024
Nature inspired tones: Think rustic and autumnal bloom colour palette
Autumn’s natural beauty is timeless, and in 2024, those rich, earthy tones have never been so popular! Couples are looking to bring the outdoors in, not only through their wedding décor but also in the wedding photo albums that preserve their memories. Think deep hues like emerald green, forest brown, and pampas grass neutrals. Tones like these evoke the tranquillity and richness of autumn landscapes, creating a sense of warmth and depth.
Our cover materials like Forest Green, Moorland, Fern, and Woodland are popular as more couples look to capture the beauty of the season in their wedding albums. Whether it’s an outdoor ceremony with fallen leaves or a rustic indoor reception surrounded by wood tones, these nature inspired covers fit seamlessly with the seasonal theme.
Burgundy Colour Trend: The ‘it’ colour for fall weddings
While neutral and earthy tones are dominant, 2024 has also seen a striking colour emerge as a favourite, Burgundy. This bold, deep hue offers a sophisticated contrast to the subtler shades of the season. Our Morello leather material has quickly become the go-to choice for couples wanting to make a statement with their wedding albums at this time of year.
The rich, luxurious texture of leather paired with the vibrancy of cherry red offers a timeless appeal that feels modern and classic all at once. This ‘it’ colour is ideal for couples who want to inject personality into their album without losing the sense of autumnal warmth. If you’re looking for a fabric alternative to this colour, our Wine Core Fabric is a great wedding album cover option.
Suede – the cosy feeling of autumn
Texture plays a vital role in album design, especially in 2024, when couples are increasingly drawn to materials that not only look beautiful but also feel luxurious. We don’t offer suede covers but we have a range within our Contemporary Leather collection of beautifully soft leathers that have a suede feel and texture. Our nu-buck style covers include; Cityscape, Moorland, Mountain Moss, and River. They provide a velvety, soft touch similar to suede.
Unlike traditional suede, these nubuck-style leathers have a soft, tactile feel but are more durable than suede material and not damaging to the environment like velvets. These materials have a natural, muted look that pairs perfectly with rustic style weddings, making them an ideal choice for couples seeking both beauty and ethics in their album design.

Personalise with Metallic accents: a touch of luxe to create the perfect wedding album
For couples wanting to take their wedding album design to the next level, warm metallic accents are making a grand return in 2024. These elements, particularly gold foiling and 22-carat gold personalisation add a luxurious touch that complements the richness of fall colours. Gold accents, in particular, stand out beautifully against the earthy greens, browns, and reds that define autumn weddings and add a touch of luxury.
Gold foiling works especially well on covers like Morello, Forest Green, and Woodland, creating a striking contrast that’s both understated and glamorous. For photographers, offering this option can help elevate the perceived value of the album, making it not just a memory book but a piece of art in its own right. The metallic detailing has proven particularly popular for couples looking to add an extra personal touch, whether that’s in the form of their names, wedding dates, or bespoke motifs inspired by wedding invitations.
Sustainability: eco-friendly wedding photo albums for the conscious couple
Sustainability has moved beyond a trend, it’s become an essential consideration for many couples planning their weddings. As more people opt for eco-friendly decor, catering, and fashion, the demand for sustainable wedding albums has also grown. At Folio, we’ve always placed a strong emphasis on offering sustainable materials and processes that align with the values of today’s conscious couples.
For photographers, showcasing albums made from responsible, high-quality materials can be a key selling point. Couples want to know that their keepsake is crafted in a way that minimises environmental impact, without sacrificing the luxurious look and feel they expect from a premium wedding album. By offering eco-friendly options, you’re not just meeting a demand, you’re setting yourself apart as a photographer who values sustainability as much as your clients do.
