As the season of change and the setting for the most magical combination of colours, the natural world is a joy to behold during autumn. So much so, that spring and summer are no longer the number one seasons to tie the knot in as WeddingWire explains:
“October has been the most popular wedding month for the past few years. In fact, three of the most popular wedding dates in 2019 took place in October (the 7th, the 14th, and the 21st). Whether you’re hosting a fall-themed wedding or not, there’s so much to love about this time of year—the crisp air, the cosy vibe, the changing leaves (hello, amazing photo ops!), pumpkins, apples, and more!”
Your autumn wedding day can be made even more mesmerising by your choice of colour palette. Read on to discover the colour combos that should be on your radar this autumn.
Beautiful blushes
Soft pastels may be more synonymous with spring weddings, but they work wonders when combined with deep burgundy, rich orange and marigold yellow in an autumn scheme.
When teamed with yet more greenery this combination of colours offers a classically beautiful, backyard wedding vibe that’s always on trend and intimate, even when you can’t host your wedding outside during mid to late autumn.
Back to black
We all know that black is a hugely versatile and extremely elegant shade, yet it isn’t widely used at weddings. Autumn 2023 however could see black wedding colour ideas become more popular than ever!
Add sparkle to your wedding day by combining black with jewel tones or metallics to create a moody yet beautiful scheme that’s timeless and sophisticated. Black can also be paired with greenery to provide a glamorous feel that is modern and chic.
Laid-back neutrals
You don’t have to go deep or dark to create a wedding colour palette that will impress your guests and bring your big day vision to life. Muted neutrals like light brown, tan, blush and ivory provide a fuss-free finish that’s light, bright and bohemian.
Blue sky thinking
The blue skies of summer may have been replaced by slightly darker, duller and cloudier climes but bringing the beauty of blue to your autumn wedding is one thing we’d certainly recommend. Dusty blue is the shade of the season, and when combined with deep purple or mauve is stunningly elegant and utterly unique.
Peachy clean
When it comes to softer colour palettes that are made for autumn, peach should be your go-to. A shade connected more to spring and summer than autumn, peach is a delightful colour that’s perfect for creating a sophisticated and sweet scheme without being too bold.
Use a classic peach shade with accents of a slightly darker peach to ensure a beautiful foundation for your autumn wedding day. You can then add earthy tones like creams and browns for additional texture.
