While "wedding season" includes primarily summer months, many brides and grooms are choosing fall wedding dates for their nuptials. The crisp, cool air associated with an autumn wedding sets a romantic tone for any celebration, and the range of seasonal hues is particularly appealing for couples who desire a bold range of colors for their wedding palette.
Incorporate deep reds, vibrant oranges, and rustic browns for stylish wedding décor that fits the season. Dress bridesmaids in deep shades of pink or maroon, choose hearty florals such as calla lilies and orchids in rich burgundy shades, and wear a vibrant red lip for your wedding-day beauty look. Fall colors work particularly well for outdoor bohemian celebrations, or sophisticated receptions when paired with natural wood accents. Golden touches add a refined element to festive fall celebrations, while unique design details such as feathers and fur throws create a more relaxed feel.
