Fall wedding color advice!?

Question

My fiance and I are planning on getting married this September (2007). I've dreamed of a September wedding for I don't know how long. I love fall colors and I really want to go with Red, Orange, and Gold, but I fear that the red and orange will clash too much. I wanted burnt orange but I can't find any matching napkins etc. Any suggestions on shades of those colors that would look great together? I dont want pink or brown etc. I want true fall colors. Or should I give up and try other colors? My 3 year old niece says " Pink teetee (her trying to say my name)". No Pink...

Answer 1

Red and orange are awesome together, both in the warm family, that will look so nice. They do not clash especially adding gold, they are all nice warm and rich colors. Good luck and congrats on the wedding and staying away from the pink, lol. Pink and brown is only a fad, I don't personally care for it.

Answer 2

I know you're saying red, orange and gold but I would think you mean the fall shades of those colors and not the vivid primary colors we automatically think of on the color wheel. Nature's colors can't be beat and I think it would be a beautiful color scheme for your wedding! Mix in some bronze/coppers for a little shine if you'd like. As far as the napkins, I might would think of using a cream or offwhite to offset the autumn colors you'll be using in your centerpieces.

Best wishes for a beautiful autumn wedding!

Answer 3

Everyone here's right so far, go with colors found in nature. Use rich burgundy and burnt orange colors. A nice chocolate brown is gorgeous as well! Don't be afraid of brown. Different shades of gold are nice as well (not necessarily sparkly gold, but rather a goldenrod color). Check out some wedding websites, they have beautiful bouquets and ideas. My aunt and uncle had a September wedding, and her bridesmaids wore a deep, rich chocolate brown that had a very subtle shimmer. When she told me they were going to wear brown, I had my doubts, but it was truely beautiful. Best of luck to you!

Answer 4

Use wine, burgundy, maroon those types of red. I think the fall colors are a wonderful idea just dont use true red and maybe use copper and or bronze instead of gold. Fantastic color scheme though!

Answer 5

red and orange will be fine together as long as you dont over-do it. Just choose a neutral color to use with the red and orange to balance things out. (your gold, or maybe even a copper, cream, or tan for tablecloths with red and orange flowers as your centerpieces, just as an example.)

Answer 6

I think that's a great color scheme.One of my favorites. God put red and orange on the trees in the autumn, didn't He? They look fabulous, too.

Go with it, and don't worry. Only a true meanie would say it wasn't perfect, and you can laugh that off f it happens.

My guess is that your guests will really love it.

Answer 7

honey, don't waste your time or money on trying to find colored napkins! people wipe their mouths and noses and throw them away. not worth it. you have some beautiful colors picked....go get the color swatches from the dress shop that youre gonna use and go from there. Maybe add an ivory/cream color so you don't have to have pink or brown......

red and orange are too strong together. How about rust and burgundy, with yellow or peach accents...

Answer 9

a burnt orange and tan
