When you think of a fall wedding, you have to think of fallen leaves, autumn flowers, season of harvest, and forests that come in a mix of fiery red, dark brown, burnt orange and buttery gold. In short, you have to think of nature so it will be easier for you to compose a color palette that is evocative of the season’s natural and rich hues.
Since autumn is a season of change, you have a wide variety of colors to choose from. In fact, you do not have to limit yourself to a single color scheme, you can opt for a couple of shades to use for your fall wedding. Some of the most popular fall wedding colors include rich red, burgundy, rust orange, sage green, gold, copper, pumpkin, bronze, off white, marigold, taupe, crimson yellow, purple, mauve, lavender, mocha, and taupe.
Considering the part of the season (early fall, mid-fall or late fall) can also make the process of color selection easier for you. With the wide array of vibrant tones, gentle hues and even exciting metallic colors, you can quickly find the color scheme that will suit you and complement the season at the same time.
Vibrant Colors of Early Fall
If you are going to tie the knot anytime from September to early October, red is the major choice but other hues such as pumpkin, marigold, burgundy and cream can look radiant as well. These colors best reflect the vibrant and colorful harvest and the bright warmth of the season. For the accent, any of the colors mentioned can be used as long as it complements the base color of the wedding. For example, apple red can be a pleasant accent color for cream.
Subdued Shades in Mid-Fall
During the middle of the season (mid to late October to early November), it is best to incorporate into your wedding earthy, subdued, neutral and muted shades and tones. Some of your options include peach, sage green, cream, light yellow, and lavender. Metallics such as gold, bronze or copper can be used as accents to these pale shades to give a stunning contrast. But if you want to stick with the muted hues even for the accents, it would still look beautiful.
Rich and Versatile Choices for Late Fall
Couples marrying by the end of fall have it easier since this part of the season is versatile. During this time, you can use deep colors like chocolate brown and eggplant purple, coupled with a metallic accent like bronze or gold. You can also opt to go for a nearly monochromatic scheme of neutral shades such as pale gold, mocha, and cream. It is also a viable option to make use of a bit of red, green or silver as a sneak preview for the upcoming winter season.
A fall wedding is a fantastic way to celebrate the abundance of the season and at the same time the fruitfulness of the love that you and your spouse-to-be have for each other. Be sure to pick the right colors to suit this celebration well.
