Fall Wedding Colors

Fall wedding colors are a popular motiff for couples who are getting married during September, October, and November.  The season is filled with pleasant weather and a bounty of natural inspiration.  As leaves on the trees are turning different colors, there are some great ways to incorporate them into wedding fashion and decorations.

The first step involved with planning a wedding is selecting the colors.  The obvious colors that are associated with fall include yellow, orange, and red.

Instead of using only these hues, there are different offshoots like coral, peach, cranberry, and gold which can add elegance and a touch of uniqueness as well.

After the colors have been picked, there are different ways to blend them into the event.  Everything from the invitations and including the dresses, flowers, and decorations can use the colors to tie it all together.  For example, the invitations can be printed on white paper and accented by one of the colors in the envelop.  The wedding cake is also a great way to incorporate the wedding color into the day.

Some of the most important details like the flowers and bridal party apparel should include the fall wedding colors.  It is important to select a flattering color for the wedding party.  Bright colored bridal party apparel may look nice, but darker colors are often more flattering on the body and will allow the bouquets to  stand out better in the photographs.  The bride may also be able to bring in one of the wedding colors by using a matching sash or shoes.

Even though traditional colors like red and orange are selected for fall weddings, unexpected shades like magenta or grape would make elegant choices as well.

These two colors do not tie into the usual image of a rustic ceremony, but are rich enough for the time of year and turn away from the common theme of fall foliage.  These colors appear in many flowers and also fit in with the current trend of cocktail party dresses as bridesmaids’ apparel.  Some couples even choose to hire a lighting specialist to use color to decorate the venue.

September and October are two of the most popular months to plan a wedding.  With this time, comes the need to pick fall wedding colors.  Shades of red, yellow, and orange are usually the most commonly used colors, but to add an unexpected twist to the decor, golds, blues, and purples would work just as well.

The colors can be woven throughout the event in the flowers, clothing, and overall decor.  Nature during the season of fall will have a great influence over the colors that are chosen.  For weddings early in the season, warm shades associated with the end of summer can be used.

For late fall weddings, greys and deeper tones will work better.  Yellow and grey has become a favorite among brides for late fall/ late winter wedding .

Nature offers its own color palate to choose from, but no matter the time of year, every wedding should reflect the taste of the couple getting married.
