All seasons have their advantages and disadvantages when organizing a wedding, but Fall has so much to offer. It is a beautiful season and you will still have the glow of a summer sun tan. The rich colors of fall combine wonderfully with the white or ivory of a wedding dress.
Remember that wraps, shawls and dress accessories can also be coordinated with your bouquet when you have decided on the color theme.
1. The color of your flowers – People often think of spring colors when they are deciding on the color for their wedding bouquets, but red is the established color of romance! This association makes red a great base color for a fall wedding. The red can be mixed with deep oranges and saffron colored flowers and rich green leaves to form a warm romantic bouquet.
2. Getting The Most From The Color Of Your Ribbons – For wedding bouquets which are darker colors it can be a nice idea to lighten up the bouquet with a careful choice of ribbon. Consider a bouquet of red and saffron held in green leaves – now add a gold ribbon and you soon see how much you can add to the impact of your wedding bouquet with a good choice of ribbon.
3. Continuing Your Color Theme – The colors you use on your wedding day will be crucial to the atmosphere you want to create. It is always a good idea to continue the color theme of your bouquet throughout the wedding. For example, if you have decided to choose a gold ribbon for your bouquet you can have the same color in the brides maids hair, or edging the ring cushion held by the page boy.
To continue your chosen color theme through to the reception can be quite subtle and still spectacular. Think about matching the napkins to the ribbon of your bouquet, or the table flowers to your bouquet. Simple, but very effective.
There are endless possibilities for a beautiful fall wedding. Use the natural rich colors of fall as a basis for your bouquets and arrangements.
A good place to find striking fall color combinations is in haberdashery shops and also look at photo shoots in magazines – there are plenty of ideas to incorporate.
