Fall wedding colors must support the aesthetics of this charming season. If your wedding is in autumn, you can likely agree it’s the most romantic time.
However, the fall color palette is so rich and diverse that choosing your wedding color theme can be challenging.
Rich deep reds, elegant dark blues, earthy browns, bright orangey hues of leaves and harvest, or relaxing greens – there’s a color code for any style.
Picking your favorite colors isn’t enough – you should correctly incorporate them into your event to create the desired atmosphere.
Your chosen shades can appear in each element of your wedding, from your bridal attire to the venue decorations, flower arrangements, and menu.

1. Red, Purple, & Black
There’s no season better for deep red shades than late fall and the beginning of winter. Paired with rich purples and elegant black, red creates a sophisticated and unconventional ensemble for an autumn wedding.
Accessories in wine, burgundy, maroon, and other shades of red will complement dramatic bridal attires.
And if you’re confident enough, you may even wear a deep red wedding dress – it will look especially beautiful in a forest, church, or castle.
If you prefer to stick with the tradition, the combination of dark red lip makeup and snow-white gown is no less stunning. Add a bridal bouquet with red roses, and a look to remember is ready.
Naturally, the red velvet wedding cake is the perfect choice for a fall wedding in dark red and purple shades.
The indulgent and savory chocolate taste matched with light buttermilk is a classic combination that never goes out of fashion.
2. Cranberry & Peach
Cranberry and peach are a classic fruity combo often used in desserts, drinks, and condiments. These very different visually and symbolically shades work together surprisingly great, creating a rich yet refreshing mix.
This fall wedding color palette is an excellent choice for brides who admire the wine and black mix but are concerned about their event looking too dark and dramatic.
The joyful peach color perfectly balances the decadent deep red.
As both colors are common in nature, you don’t have to rack your brain about the venue decorations or floral combinations. As for the menu, the names of these shades speak for themselves.
A cranberry and peach wedding cake flavor is sweet, slightly sour, and light – that’s a fresh take on fall wedding desserts that tend to be savory and heavy.
If you want to stand out while following the tradition, consider wedding dresses in peach color. And if the bridesmaids or the groom wear deep red, your group pictures will be astonishing.
3. Shades of Purple
Some think that purple isn’t the best color for a wedding as it’s too dark and mysterious, and weddings should be all white and cheerful.
However, rich purples and dreamy lavender shades look gorgeous paired with white for a fall wedding.
Purple is indeed a mystical and spiritual color that suits dreamy, introverted brides. Delicate lilac wedding gowns are a great alternative to white that looks equally innocent but more creative.
If colorful wedding dresses aren’t your style, you may choose a bridal bouquet in purple shades – alliums, verbena, and lavender go perfectly with rustic wedding looks.
In contrast, bright orchids look stunning with modern attires.
The purple color code should be observed in the venue decoration and wedding cake. Consider unusual mocha and lavender cake flavor, decorate the venue with purple flowers, and choose purple table linen.
4. Deep Green & White
Rich dark greens are refreshing, calming, elegant, and versatile, perfect both for a bohemian outdoor autumn wedding or a modern wedding in industrial style.
A combination of clean white with emerald will place the latter in the spotlight and reveal its true beauty.
Emerald and white color mix is simple and chic – it’s so perfect that other hues will only distract from this timeless palette.
All you need for the venue decoration are white flowers, greens, matching table linen, and minimalistic tableware.
This elegant fall wedding color palette is an especially great fit if you have an emerald engagement ring. You may even choose a forest green wedding gown – or leave this rich color for your bridesmaids.
5. Sage & Blush
If you think that warm shades of red, orange, and yellow are way too obvious ideas for a fall wedding, consider a refreshing combination of sage and blush.
It’s a perfect choice for an outdoor autumn wedding that embraces the greenery around you.
Such a wedding color code will be an especially great fit for romantic brides appreciating nature. The muted light green and the powdery rose combined are impeccably dainty, dreamy, and whimsical.
Sage and blush colors will suit weddings in bohemian style, especially forest and garden ceremonies. You don’t even need extensive decorations – delicate rose florals and greenery will do the job.
Minimalistic table serving, golden details, white “naked” wedding cake with flower topping are just some ideas for a fall wedding in sage and blush colors.
As for the bride’s attire, choose flowy dresses, messy hairstyles, and nude makeup.
6. Chocolate, Caramel, & Champagne
Fall is the coziest season – it’s a time for drinking hot chocolate near the fireplace, long walks among golden leaves, and spending time with your loved ones. A warm beige and brown color palette perfectly conveys this imagery.
Such a soft, muted color code is excellent for rustic weddings with a homey atmosphere. It may not be the most remarkable, creative, or dramatic palette, but undoubtedly the most comforting and relaxing.
If you’re a humble and devoted person who believes that marriage is all about becoming the keeper of the hearth, rich shades of chocolate, caramel, and champagne are your ideal wedding color code.
Of course, your wedding menu should give off the same homelike vibe. Choose traditional, filling foods and simple yet savory and sweet wedding cake flavors, such as brownie and carrot cake.
Navy and gold color combination is a timeless classic that looks formal and luxurious. It’s appropriate for any occasion and will look chic at any fall wedding in traditional, nautical, modern, Art Deco, or vintage style.
You may choose navy table linen and white tableware with golden accents, golden bridesmaid dresses, navy groomsmen suits, and matching stationery.
Keep other shades to a minimum to achieve a simple yet endlessly elegant look.
Choose flowers in white and cream, or, on the opposite, dark red colors. The same goes for your wedding cake – you may intensify the look by adding dark shades of red or chocolate or balance it with traditional white.
Navy and gold are a perfectly balanced combination of cold and warm, muted and vibrant, modest and dazzling. However, dark blue works equally well with silver and copper.
8. Blue & Maroon
If you can’t choose between deep red and navy color palettes, go for both.
Dark blue and maroon shades are a muted but contrasting ensemble that excellently complements a fall wedding. This wedding color code is best suitable for sophisticated indoor venues.
Deep blue shades with burgundy, maroon, or Bordeaux can give off a dramatic, nearly gothic vibe in combination with black or create an elegant and celebratory look with large amounts of white.
Navy and maroon are ideal for luxurious opaque fabrics and matte materials that support the formality of these shades. But if you want to add a bit of glam, consider metallics that will create a celebratory atmosphere.
Brides preferring brighter color combinations will appreciate a lighter and more saturated version of this palette featuring teal and crimson.
9. Hunter Green, Terracotta, & Copper
Muted, rich orangey terracotta with warm hunter green and the metallic copper combination creates a modern yet cozy look that evokes associations with fall nature.
You don’t need extensive venue decorations when the entire nature contributes to your wedding aesthetics with golden and orange leaves and evergreen trees.
It’s a very moody color palette that fits a variety of wedding themes, from alternative to vintage and rustic. Greenery, wood, terracotta plant pots, and copper table decorations contribute to the simple and stylish vibe.
If you wish to achieve a modern and refreshing look, pair terracotta and green with stark white, and if you prefer a warm rustic atmosphere, pair them with cream or peach.
A pumpkin, caramel, or carrot wedding cake is a perfect match for this warm and comforting color mix. Choose a “naked” or a smooth white buttercream cake with caramel drips to support the homey feeling.
10. Shades of Grey
Most couples strive to stand out by choosing bright wedding color palettes.
Meanwhile, a wedding in shades of grey is the best way to showcase your unique taste and amaze the guests expecting anything but such a neutral, monochrome theme.
Grey is underrated. Judge for yourself – grey can be warm, cool, or neutral, so it suits every woman, grey in the interior has a cooling and calming effect, and deep charcoal shade paired with silver looks impeccably elegant and formal.
Greys are the shades of stormy sea and sky. It’s a mysterious and balanced color that combines white and black, warmth and cold. It’s a middle ground between two extremes that represents wisdom and compromise.
