5 Fabulous Fall Wedding Color Combinations

Heather Carreiro
Picking out your wedding color combination is key to getting started with your wedding planning. Although bridesmaids dresses and decor may be the first thing on your shopping list, wedding invitations will be the first thing the guests see of your wedding theme and colors. Make sure to browse not only for stylish dresses for your maids, but also for matching wedding stationery to go with your color combo.

Burnt Orange & Burgundy

Orange is certainly in right now, and there are numerous colors that go great with it. One more regal color combination is burnt orange and burgundy. Have your bridesmaids wear burnt orange dresses with burgundy sashes, and choose wedding invitations with majestic falling leaves in these hues.

Dark Green & Gold

Although the leaves are changing from green, dark green is still a great fall color. Dark green dresses will stand out nicely in front of a background of autumn hues, and gold accessories are easy to find. Wedding stationery depicting golden yellow leaves with a hint of green will go great with this elegant combination.

Plum & Champagne

If purple is one of your favorite colors, stray a bit from the norm with the splendid combination of deep plum and champagne. The light and dark contrast will look stunning for your table and ceremony décor, and silver accessories would add a nice sparkle. For this color combination, choose contemporary, modern or elegant wedding stationery. Try stripes or designs in these two colors on a trendy square card.

Mocha & Ginger

This warm combination would look great on almost any skin tones and would also match with a background of fall foliage. Decorate your tables with gingerbread cookies tied with a mocha colored bow, or send your guests away with delicious hot chocolate wedding favors. Have a casual coffee themed reception, and accent your bridesmaids' outfits with delicate gold jewelry. Look for a wedding invitation in this great color combination to set the theme for your fall wedding.

Orange & Watermelon

Orange doesn't only go well with darker colors, but it also looks great with bright colors like watermelon. If you want a lighter look for your wedding, choose this fantastic color combination. Watermelon dresses for your gals paired with orange accessories would really pop in photographs. Why not accent your dress with a little orange flair on the neckline or with orange accessories? With orange being so popular right now, you're sure to be able to find cute orange trimmed wedding invitations in any style. Add on a watermelon ribbon and your wedding stationery will surely brighten guests' days.
