September wedding--colors?

Knottie45917797 · January 2015

Ok, so we are getting married Sept. 12th and I am having a serious issue with colors. I like ivory, light purple (lilac), with a little bit of gold accents. Is this too light for a late summer wedding? It is outdoors.

Thank you.

I think those colors will be fine, especially for an outdoor wedding. There's no hard rule that says certain colors need to be avoided/used certain times of the year. If you've always envisioned an ivory/lilac wedding then go for it!

Those colors look beautiful together. You don't have to match the colors to the season. Plus, purple and gold are used in quite a few autumn palettes, so lilac will fit right in with the summer/fall transition.

That sounds lovely! Don't over think this.

My Sept wedding was lavender, ivory and brown.

That sounds like it would be really pretty! You could also work some cranberry tones in there to warm it up for fall. I wouldn't stress over it too much though.
