Colors for October wedding??

Question

I'm getting married Oct 18, 08 & it will be an outside wedding. What are some good colors I could use? I was thinking on maybe canary yellow bridesmaid dresses w/ deep red, burnt orange & yellow flowers. I'm not real sure though....any ideas?

Answer 1

I'm getting married that day too, congrats!

We are using yellows, oranges, and some brown accents, but I really liked the colors you mentioned. If you are doing canary dresses, I would incorporate some richer, deeper fall colors in with the bouquets (like deep red and burnt orange) and as you decorate the rest of the wedding/reception.

Also, you may want to consider incorporating some sunflowers in your centerpieces or in decorating your arch to tie in with the sunny yellow dresses. Good luck, I'm sure it will be beautiful!

Answer 2

Those are wonderful colors if you want a 'traditional' fall wedding.  Other colors that could be used instead/other ideas:

Plum

Forest Green

Navy

or any other deep jewel tones.

If you don't want a 'dark' wedding, you can choose one jewel color and offset it with a brighter color (Navy and Burnt orange) for example.

Best of luck and congrats!

Answer 3

I think that sounds just lovely!

Alternative is to go with burnt orange dresses, too, or coral.

Answer 4

those colors sound very...overused for fall. my friend had a october wedding and her colors were chocolate brown and creme. it looked amazing! escecially the bridesmaids dresses!

Answer 5

yellow is too bright for october...burnt orange dress with yellow [not a soft tone] more golden flowers

Answer 6

it really depends on your location.  if in new england (or any other place where the leaves change color you will want to use the colors you mentioned.  go with the colors that are around

Answer 7

I liked the colors you picked.  I also think a chocolate brown and blue would look nice for a fall wedding.

Answer 8

Congrats! I am getting married this October as well.

My bridesmaids dresses are a nice chocolate brown colour.

I will be decorating with orange and yellow flowers, a little pink too.

I intend to carry sunflowers as my boquet.

so brown, orange,  yellow and a splash of pink.. it might be too many colours..but it's my day;)

good luck!

Very fall like!
