Fall color opinions needed! PIP

I love, love, love the fall, and definitely want to use fall colors in our wedding. I need some help in narrowing in on a color scheme though, and FI is a bit colorblind, so he's not much help!!! I'd love any feedback you ladies might have, or even new suggestions! Thanks!Chocolate, Cranberry, & Burnt Orange To me, this is "classic fall"[img]http://tinyurl.com/mvmm6m[/img] Orange & Grey This is a little more unexpected, but still fall-ish, and I think it's very pretty![img]http://tinyurl.com/mpvuzv[/img] Orange & PurpleThis reminds me of fall leaves - a little brighter and fun. I would probably pair these colors with chocolate brown to tone it down a little![img]http://tinyurl.com/myto6b[/img] Thanks again!

    I love the third one best - purple and orange~ but maybe i'm biased because i love purple so much! but seriously, purple and orange are complementary colors on the color wheel and i think they look really pretty and elegant the others are nice too though!

    I actually like the grey and orange best. It is "unexpected" but that's why I like it so much!

    I like the third (cause it reminds me of mine!) I'm doing orange, pink and yellow flowers... girls are wearing navy

    Thanks ladies! I'm still torn, but it really helps having objective eyes and opinions! :)

    I like the 2nd one because of the grey added to it.  I think if you over do the fall colors, it turns out to be just over done.  I would think of the colors you like the most and then incorporate them with a fall color.  Just because you pick that season doesn't mean that you have to use all the colors that go with that season. Thats just my personal opinion.

    I love the first!  I'm 9/18/10 and I was going to do navy/green but now I'm falling in love with light gray/eggplant.  Or grey/pink (my mother's preference)...I do love the dark purples mixed w/ the light gray!  I think it might be it!

    If you're torn try to think which colors will photographic the best at the venue (and where ever your bridal party is being photographed).  Also which colors would look best on your bridesmaids.  Purple is universally flattering since it has both blue (cool) and red (warm) tones.  I'm going with plum and mauve dresses and pale green accents (flowers not on the dresses).  Some of my bridesmaids are dark-skinned and some are light.  My wedding is in Oct.
