1. Burnt Orange
Design: Jen Montgomery
Suggested invitation: Modern Minimal Invitation
When we think of the fall season, one of the first colors that comes to mind is a deep burnt orange. This hue works beautifully as a main color complemented by other earthy tones, greens, or a deep navy blue.
2. Brown and Green
Design: Signature Greenvelope
Suggested invitation: Modern Rattan Arch Invitation
For a rustic vibe, pair shades of brown and green together — along with a soft neutral like an off-white. These colors are ideal for an outdoor wedding or a nature-inspired celebration.
3. Dusty Blue and Cream
Design: Jen Montgomery
Suggested invitation: Dreamy Toile Invitation
If you’re getting married in early fall or simply want a lighter color palette, we highly recommend pairing dusty blue and cream together. The effect is a soft, delicate color match that complements a romantic wedding style.
4. Plum
Design: Milk and Marrow
Suggested invitation: Grassy Foliage Invitation
Create a moody or sophisticated atmosphere by making plum a feature color at your fall wedding. Pair this with a dark gray or navy blue for a backdrop that lets your white wedding dress or suit shine.
5. Navy Blue and Peach
Design: Luckybug Designs
Suggested invitation: Tri-color Ampersand Invitation
Navy blue is a popular fall wedding color, and it’s easy to see why — it’s versatile and works well with plenty of other colors. This color combination mixes blue with peach for a pop of vibrancy.
6. Forest Green
Design: Becky Nimoy Stationery
Suggested invitation: Jewel Tone Forest Invitation
Take inspiration from the greenery and fall foliage all around you with a wedding color palette that’s all about the greens. A deep forest green adds depth, and you can layer other shades of green on top — or add in a pastel hue alongside cream for a touch of softness.
7. Deep Red and Copper
Design: Signature Greenvelope
Suggested invitation: Dark Ombre Watercolor Invitation
Go for a dramatic look by pairing deep red with the rich tones of copper. This mix of colors is breathtaking against a beautiful backdrop, so expect some pretty photos if your wedding venue happens to be a vineyard or the great outdoors.
8. Lavender and Gold
Design: Anna K Design
Suggested invitation: Wildflowers Silhouette Invitation
For a soft and sweet take on a fall wedding color palette, we love lavender and gold together. These two colors are ideal for a vintage-inspired wedding, but they can also feel contemporary — especially with a minimalist wedding cake decorated with gold flecks.
9. Burgundy
Design: frau brandt
Suggested invitation: Rich Fall Florals Invitation
Another classic fall wedding color is burgundy. This deep red-purple hue is popular for the way it effortlessly highlights a white or off-white wedding dress or suit, and it’s also perfect for a late fall wedding if you want a festive vibe.
10. Sunflower Yellow
Design: Nicole Winn
Suggested invitation: Elegant Sunflowers Invitation
Sunflowers are big for summer weddings, but they’re beautiful for an early fall celebration too. Take inspiration from the flowers’ colors for your linens, wedding decorations, and wedding stationery, and feature sunflowers in your wedding bouquet.
11. Black and White
Design: Claudia Owen
Suggested invitation: Leaves Fall Invitation
Stage an event that feels like the ultimate in luxury or sophistication with a classic black-and-white color scheme. This works so well with a modern wedding venue where you can create an elegant, minimalist feel.
12. Warm Gray
Design: Stacey Day
Suggested invitation: Romantic Guilded Leaves Invitation
Black, white, or soft neutrals are timeless wedding color suggestions — but how about warm gray? It’s a color that looks effortlessly chic, and the warm undertones work perfectly for the fall season.
13. Caramel
Design: Robinson Creative House
Suggested invitation: Retro Trip Invitation
Salted caramel isn’t just a popular dessert flavor, it’s also an incredible option for a fall wedding color palette. We adore how delicious this color looks on your wedding cake and across your wedding day decor, and it’s one that fits that cozy fall aesthetic beautifully.
14. Teal and Sage Green
Design: Claudia Owen
Suggested invitation: Sophisticated Frame Invitation
Having a fall wedding doesn’t have to mean you need yellow, orange, or red in your wedding color palette. If you’d like a brighter look that reminds you of spring or summer, we recommend pairing teal and sage green together for a color scheme that feels joyful and fresh.
15. Jewel Tones
Design: Claudia Owen
Suggested invitation: Modern Gemstone Invitation
One of the most popular types of color to feature in a fall wedding is a jewel tone. These gorgeous, rich shades of purple, green, red, or orange really stand out in a stunning way. Use one as your main color, or mix and match a few of them for a more eclectic look.
16. Shades of Orange
Design: Signature Greenvelope
Suggested invitation: Autumn Florals Invitation
If you’re looking for ideas on colors that you can layer across different shades, our vote goes for orange. You can enjoy a deep, burnt orange alongside softer pastel orange hues to create depth and showcase this warm, cozy color across your big day.
17. Emerald Green and Gold
Design: Jen Montgomery
Suggested invitation: Elegant Gold Leaf Invitation
Create a look that’s both dramatic and elegant by showcasing emerald green alongside accents of gold. The metallic instantly makes your decor feel luxurious, and the rich green shade is timeless — especially ideal for a classic wedding.
18. Terracotta and Rose
Design: Jamie Alexander
Suggested invitation: Autumn Arch Bouquet Invitation
For a more contemporary vibe, pair terracotta with rose or dusty pink. These two colors together work perfectly for a boho wedding or rustic wedding, but they can also feel retro or modern depending on the wedding decor you choose.
19. Ombré Sunset
Design: Diasty Hardhikaputri
Suggested invitation: Autumn Dahlias Invitation
Ombré is a trend that’s here to stay, and the fall season gives you plenty of amazing colors to play around with. One of our favorites is inspired by the sunset — with colors from a deep cranberry red to oranges and even shades of purple. Showcase all the colors across your bridesmaid dresses, or use them in your wedding invitations and thank you notes.
20. Soft Neutrals
Design: Creo Study
Suggested invitation: Modern Love Invitation
Your fall wedding colors don’t have to be rich, dramatic, or eye-catching. There’s something equally as beautiful about using a palette of soft neutrals like cream, off-white, taupe, and greige. Choose one as your main color, or use a combination of a few for a wedding day look that lets you show off your fall foliage or wedding attire instead.
21. Warm Earthy Tones
Design: National Park Foundation
Suggested invitation: Yosemite Invitation
Finally, we’ve saved one of the best fall wedding color scheme ideas for last — warm earthy tones. This is an opportunity to take inspiration from nature and blend greens, browns, oranges, blues, and neutrals together for a look that’s ideal for an outdoor wedding.
