Choosing colors and themes for weddings or any celebration can seem overwhelming. Considering the fact that a color palette determines invitations, decorations, and the overall tone of an event, it’s understandable that many brides agonize over the decision. That’s why we have created a list of our top five things to consider when incorporating fall into your big day.

1. Set The Mood

Colors are a subconscious cue to our minds. They can influence everything from appetite to mood. When choosing colors for your invitation, consider the overall feeling that you want your guests to have while celebrating. Is it something more intimate where a warm color like Dusty Cedar would be appropriate? Or maybe something a little more spacious feeling like Airy Blue?

2. Incorporate The Season

If you’re having trouble deciding on a theme, look to the seasons for inspiration. Fall is a wonderful time of year to choose warm tones that come from changing leaves and the sparks of bonfires. Will you be celebrating outdoors? Consider using colors that compliment natural elements like stone, wood, and foliage in order to emphasize your venue.

3. Add Some Fun

Once you’ve chosen a color theme, don’t be afraid to get creative. The smallest details can create an overall unified presentation. In the above photo, the inside of the envelope is a great place to show off the bold purple that ties into the bow graphic and border of the invitation. The end result is a cohesive package that promises a grand celebration.

4. Be Bold

Strong colors are meant to stand out. Mixing bold colors with more neutral tones creates a balanced look that is sure to wow. The addition of crystals to the bride’s bouquet is another touch that incorporates the neutrality of the crystal while still adding sparkle. Together, the colors work together to create a classy and fun look.

5. Keep It Classic

While usually considered a winter color, grays and blues are popular in fall months as nature eases into cooler weather. They also lend themselves to a more neutral and sophisticated color palette that compliments more formal celebrations.
