Fall Color Combinations

For an event as romantic as a wedding, the rich and vibrant colors of fall provide a beautiful backdrop.


When most think of fall they envision pumpkins and autumn leaves. You will find orange, red, yellow, and green are primary fall colors. If pumpkin orange is too bright of a color, you can go deeper shade or rust. You can incorporate greenery and autumn flowers like mums for your bouquet and/or centerpieces.

Color scheme choices for a fall wedding are:

Gold and ivory is an elegant and classic look. Gold will provide the warmth of fall colors, while ivory is an ideal neutral that plays perfectly off the richness of gold. For flowers use ivory flowers accented with gold leaves. Decorate your tables with gold-tone candle holders and vases with ivory flowers and candles.

Purple and Silver combination will give off a rich feel. Deep jewel tones like eggplant with silver accents is perfect. Dark purple calla lilies would be a lovely choice in floral for your bouquets with silver accents.

Periwinkle creates a coolness that is ideal against a dark warn brown. Flowers in pale shades of blue with brown ribbon are a gorgeous combination.

Any color you prefer can be paired with an accent shade that can add fall flair. Have fun when selecting the colors for your wedding. Don’t be afraid to try color combinations that you don’t normally see together. You will be surprised as to what colors actually look good together. As always when planning a wedding, think outside the box.
