There are lots of reasons why fall weddings are growing more and more popular these days, and one of them is the great variety of colors brought by this season. There are lots of color combos and choosing the most suitable color combination is the hardest part.
Picking your colors is a journey, just like finding the dress, or knocking all those planning items off your checklist. But hitting on the right colors can be the pleasure of a lifetime.
When choosing the your fall wedding colors, if you want to reflect the colors of nature during early to late fall you will find that shades of orange, sunflower and gold will be perfect.
Use orange or one of its many different shades, such as cool salmons and peaches to the warmth of brick or coral. You might try pairing salmon in the dresses with a dark shade of warm olive in the invitations and the tuxes. Try coral roses in the bridal bouquet and cake with a cool Caribbean blue in the dresses and reception decorations.
Terra cotta is another beautiful color from autumn’s palette. Combine it with yellow ( a very cheery color that brings happiness, makes people smile and brings about optimism and closeness) copper and ivory. Ivory is considered elegant yet soft spoken and mixes great with most colors. Use pastel or rich deep colors as an accent on your gown or with table settings.
Deep red, a color of the season, has a romantic tone as well. Combine it with lavender, burgundy and other colors between red and purple on the color wheel. Enhance the romance by using roses as a primary focus in your bouquets and centerpieces. Tie deep red ribbons on the back of ivory chairs.
Another hot wedding color combinations will include red and black. You will see a lot of dark red or ruby red paired with light and dark colors. A vibrant shade of red could be paired with light to medium shades of yellow, coral or orange. Red and black together is always a great choice.
Some of the best color combinations for a fall wedding come straight from the garden, such as demonstrated by the eggplant; a deep purple on the outside and a pale green on the inside. Purple is a strong color that has been associated with royalty. In modern times, it has taken a more glamorous look and works well when paired with grays, charcoals or black. The purple would look beautiful as the accent color in the flowers decorating the tiers of a pale green cake. Those colors could also be echoed in the bridesmaids dresses, table covers, invitations and flower bouquets.
Metallic accents continue to be huge, from classic silver and gold to more unexpected (and fitting for fall) pewter copper and bronze. Mercury glass vases will add glamorous pops of silver to cocktail tables and centerpieces. Gold and silver leaf accessories will liven up any table or place setting. Beyond vases, think napkin rings and framed photos telling the story of your relationship.

Choosing Wedding Colors
Before deciding on the made of honor dress you must first choose the shade of white that best suits you for your wedding dress. Your dress color should harmonize with your appearance, and with that of your bridesmaids’.
To make sure you chose the right kind of “white” you need to know the suitable color palette. It depends on the hair color, eyes and your skin. Show romanizationTherefore, make sure you keep your hair the same color when you buy outfits for the civil marriage and the religious marriage, to the wedding itself.Show romanization If you dye your hair in a totally different color (much warmer or colder than the initial one), this will influence the colors that will fit you.
Once you know which is the perfect shade of white you can start by matching it to the bridesmaids outfits, the dress of your mother, even with the flower bouquets that will decorate the tables.
The choice of colors can be seen as an impossible mission, especially if you have lots of bridesmaids, of diffrent age, figures and sizes. Show romanizationAn alternative is to ask your bridesmaids to wear dresses with the same cut, from the same material, and with colors suggested by you. This will ensure that their dresses matches your own and they will blend with the wedding theme. But the most important thing is the season in which the ceremony takes place.
Spring colors are clear and bright, just like the colors of a spring day.The trees and grass have not yet matured, so they are tinged with yellow undertones and are a bright spring green color. Distinct yellow undertones impart a vibrant, electric appearance to everything. The colors of this season are truly like a spring bouquet of flowers enveloped in bright spring green leafy foliage: red-orange and coral tulips, bright yellow jonquils and daffodils.
Summer colors are muted with blue undertones (think of looking at the scenery through a dusky summer haze). Late summer blossoms, a frothy ocean and white beaches are seen everywhere. Baby blue, slate blue, periwinkle, powder pink, seafoam green and slate grey are typical Summer colors.
Autumn colors are virtually indistinguishable from the rich, earthy colors of the season for which they were named. They are as golden-hued as a fall day, and it is impossible to mistake them for any other season. Typical colors from the palette include pumpkin, mustard yellow, burnt orange, brown, camel, beige, avocado green, rust and teal. Autumn colors are perennially popular, because they bring a feeling of warmth and security.
The colors from the winter season are clear and icy, like a winter’s day; always with subtle blue undertones. To name a few: hollyberry red, emerald and evergreen, royal blue, magenta and violet. Winter inspires pictures of winter berries, pine green conifers and black and white huskies racing through snow.

Summer Wedding Colors
Choosing the right wedding colors for your event is one of the most important steps.
Traditionally, summer wedding colors are bright and sharp – think about how everything seems much more vivid when the sun is shining! When it comes to wedding ideas, summer brides have limitless possibilities
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to selecting colors for your summer themed wedding. The fact is that this is your special day and you should do whatever makes you feel happy.
Pastel colors, which are more preferred in the spring season, are not out of place during a summer wedding. In fact, you can sprinkle some pastel hues on your invitations. Accentuate the bridesmaids’ dresses with pastel objects. Pastel colors complement the bright and bold hues of summer.
When deciding about what color scheme to follow, think of the sun, sky, crystal waters in the beach, the flowers, and the bees. The color of the ocean is also the shade of peace and relaxation. It adds a dreamy, tranquil element to your wedding, as well as a touch of glamour. Try something fun and use Navy Blue which has a nautical, clean feel. You won’t want to introduce too many other colors if using navy, though. Keep it to accents of white and green, as in foliage-green. These hues work well with classic, elegant weddings.
White is one of the first colors that comes to mind when planning a wedding, regardless of season. So, to make your white wedding work as the perfect summer wedding color additions of green, bold blues, and free-flowing bouquets are small things to make it really fresh and summery. Great summer wedding color combos for white include blue, green, and pink.
Pink and red is also a good pair of summer wedding motif. Roses are the best ways to represent this theme. You can use all shades of pink and red, and surely, love will flourish during the event. Deep red can be elegant and timeless, lighten it to a pink and you have a sweet, romantic color. Use all shades of both colors and romance will bloom everywhere. Try incorporating fibers of white lights, heart patterned chocolates, flute and harp music, candles, and programs topped with sheer overlays.
Lavender works so well for summer weddings because it conjures up images of Mediterranean Europe and gentle afternoons in the park. One of favorite themes for a summer wedding is, in fact lavender! With lavender spilling into favors (lavender tea or lavender plants), and even your menu (lavender shorbet or lavender pork) it’s a uniquely beautiful start to a summer wedding theme. Great color combos for lavender include terra cotta and bright pink and yellow.
Gold is the color of wedding rings and champagne. It’s elegant, timeless and gives everything an air of sophistication. Best of all, it can be combined with just about any shade for beautiful results. Gold pairs beautifully with lavender for a bright, cheery scheme. Add magenta to this combination to really brighten up the occasion
