FALL Color help!

luv2bsober52504 · September 2010

We are having a fall themed wedding, and so far we have Apple Red for a color. How many colors should you have? What are your ideas of other fall colors that would go well??? And where do you put them?? The dresses are apple

We are getting married in November and our colors are dark red and burnt orange. We are also throwing in other fall colors like yellow and chocolate brown as accents with our flowers and centerpieces.

I think most people have one or two colors, but I have been to weddings where they have several, or where they have several shades of one color as a theme. It's up to you!

I think that most people usually have 2-3 colors, but you can have whatever you like! I am having 4 colors myself (antique pink, cream, green, brown). I think that brown and/or ivory would look nice with apple red, or maybe even black or a light green. Don't know if it will help, but taking a trip to Michaels could be beneficial. They have TONS of flowers and arrangements in beautiful fall flowers. It might give you some inspiration for colors.

Where do you put them... that is entirely up to you. Most people put them in their bridesmaid dresses, flowers, linens, invitations/programs, and cake.

Our wedding is in two weeks (eek!) and our colors are slate gray, with accents of orange, deep plum, ivory and gold. I think rather than just picking like two colors for the whole day, it makes more sense to pick a sort of palette and go from there. I guess our two main colors are gray and orange, though.

I LOVE fall colors... which is good since my wedding is in 10 days ;-)

Personally, I'm doing burnt orange, chartreuse green, and plum... almost the jewel-tone end of the fall color spectrum. If you want apple red, though, I would go for a much more straighforward fall theme - a rusty orange (make sure it's light enough to not clash with the red... sometimes really dark burnt orange looks terrible with red) and then maybe a really dark brown.

Oh, and unless you have your heart set on a bright white dress, I would recommend swapping everything white out with a nice warm ivory.

I am also a fall bride! (LOVE fall!) My wedding is Nov 13 - our colors are apricot orange, chocolate brown with hints of cranberry - my bio has examples of how I used those colors

Steph0871 · October 2010

Ditto. We're getting married in November. We're using burnt orange, chocolate brown and purple. You can see my bio for the colors together.

I wouldn't do more than 2-3 colors if you want to keep it looking like a 'theme."

We are doing apple red too, and thats it. But I'm a matchy matchy kinda person.

My wedding will be next September and we decided on chocolate dresses and yellows, reds and oranges for our flowers. I absolutely LOVE fall! I'm super excited to pick out all of the decorations. I plan on shopping around after the season is over this year to try to find some good deals.

We are also in October and we are doing jewel toned colors.
Dark reds, dark purples, white and black.

You could do different shades of red and add brown's, oranges, cream, ivory, green. My sister also got married in Oct and she did red as her main color with different shades of red, burnt orange, ivory and had green orchids as her hint of color.

HTH Good luck

thanks so much ladies! this totally helps! i was thinking i liked the burnt orange, and some browns. I also like gold?????

I am personally not an apple red fan because it seems so over done but that is just me so frankly that doesn't really matter. We got married Sept '09 and found these awesome black/bronze damask BM dresses. We just kind of went from there. We used burnt orange and a dark rusty red too. I fell in love with bronze while planning our wedding.

Dying over the orange with purple lately! I can't wait to see photos!

We did fall colors (mainly chocolate brown and orange with some red and a bit of yellow). I have lots of examples in my bio and my siggy pic is of our cake.

Go for gold!

It'll look stunning with the red, but be careful it's not too U of M, you know?
