Welcome back! If you caught my previous post, then you already know there's no shortage of stunning fall wedding color palettes out there.
But I wasn't done yet. Not even close!
I've gathered even more fall wedding color combos that are so worth your attention.
Same deal as before, each one comes with styling ideas to help you picture it at your wedding.
Inspiration awaits, so let’s get to it!
1. Mauve & Forest Green – Enchanted Woods
Mauve #B784A7 | Forest Green #2C5F2D | Cream #FFF8E7
Mauve and forest green makes me think of stepping into a forest-inspired fairy tale. The mauve is pretty, the forest green is grounding, and when you weave in cream it’s oh so dreamy! If your venue has trees, a garden, or any kind of natural backdrop, this palette is going to sing.
How to style
For your ceremony backdrop, create a lush greenery arch with forest green foliage and scattered mauve blooms (e.g., roses or ranunculus). Drape cream chiffon fabric loosely through the arch so it catches the breeze.
For your stationery suite, go with cream cardstock, mauve watercolor florals, and forest green calligraphy. Tie each invitation with a thin mauve silk ribbon and tuck in a small sprig of dried eucalyptus. Your guests will feel the vibe before they even RSVP.
2. Cinnamon & Dusty Blue – Autumn Breeze
Cinnamon #A0522D | Dusty Blue #6E8FAE | Soft White #FAF9F6
Cinnamon and dusty blue is one of those palettes that make me think of a cool fall morning. The cinnamon brings warmth and spice. The dusty blue keeps it calm and airy. And the soft white makes sure neither one overpowers the other.
How to style
For your bridesmaids, dress them in dusty blue dresses with cinnamon-toned bouquets (e.g., dried grasses, chocolate cosmos, and rust-colored dahlias wrapped in soft white ribbon). The contrast is gorgeous in photos.
For your reception centerpieces, place soft white candles in dusty blue ceramic holders, surrounded by cinnamon-toned dried flowers and a few scattered eucalyptus leaves. Set everything on a soft white linen runner and enjoy!
3. Cranberry & Taupe – Cozy & Refined
Cranberry #9B1B30 | Taupe #B3A08C | Ivory #FFFFF0
Talke about a warm hug! Cranberry is bold and confident, but taupe pulls it right back down to earth. Throw in ivory and you've got a palette that works for everything from a candlelit ballroom to a barn with string lights.
How to style
For your lounge area, set up a taupe velvet sofa with cranberry and ivory throw pillows. Add a round wooden coffee table with a few cranberry candles and an ivory floral arrangement. It becomes the spot everyone gravitates toward during cocktail hour.
For your favors, package homemade cranberry jam (yummy!) or cranberry-scented candles in small ivory boxes tied with taupe ribbon. Attach a little tag that says something like, "Love is sweet, thanks for celebrating with us." Simple, personal, and totally on theme!
4. Amber & Charcoal – Modern Fall
Amber #FFBF00 | Charcoal #36454F | Linen #F5F0E8
If you want fall without the rustic, this is your color combo. Amber is bright and electric, like bottled sunlight, whereas charcoal gives it a sleek, modern edge. The linen tone softens the whole thing just enough. This combo is great for a city loft, rooftop venue, or modern art gallery wedding.
How to style
For your table settings, go with charcoal plates on linen tablecloths, amber glassware, and matte black flatware. Use a single amber floral stem, like a marigold, in a small charcoal bud vase at each place setting. Clean + modern = stunning.
For your invitations, opt for charcoal cardstock with amber foil-stamped lettering and a linen-colored envelope. Keep the design minimal but play up the colors. A wax seal in amber on the back of the envelope is a nice finishing touch.
5. Pumpkin & Cream – Harvest Charm
Pumpkin #E36F1E | Chocolate #3C1414 | Cream #FFF8E7
Pumpkin at a fall wedding. You can bring in the color…with or without actually using pumpkins! But fall is the perfect time of year to use them.
When you pair pumpkin with cream and a deep, rich chocolate, it’s not kitschy at all. It’s warm, inviting, and full of harvest charm. These colors make your guests feel like they just walked into the coziest fall dinner party ever.
How to style
For your dessert table, set up a cream-draped table with a chocolate-tiered cake decorated with cream frosting and real mini pumpkins as accents. Surround it with pumpkin spice cupcakes, chocolate truffles, and cream-colored cake pops. It's a dessert spread and a centerpiece all in one.
For your ceremony aisle, line it with small cream and chocolate-colored pumpkins (real or painted…your call). Add cream rose petals scattered along the path and a chocolate-stained wooden arch draped in cream fabric with pumpkin-toned floral clusters at the top.
6. Merlot & Blush – Romantic Dusk
Merlot #6F2232 | Blush #F8D7E0 | Gold #C5961B
Merlot and blush is wedding romance turned all the way up. The merlot is rich and deep, the blush softens it beautifully, and gold ties it all together with a warm glow. If your wedding is at sunset, this palette will practically melt into the sky. It's made for candlelight and slow dances.
How to style
For your floral arrangements, go heavy on garden roses and peonies in merlot and blush tones. Place them in gold mercury glass vases at varying heights down the center of long reception tables. The candlelight will bounce off the gold for an incredible look.
For your bridal attire, consider blush shoes and gold jewelry paired with a classic white gown. Have your bridesmaids in merlot dresses carrying blush bouquets with gold ribbon wraps. The photos from this color story will be absolutely stunning!
7. Olive & Terracotta – Tuscan Sunset
Olive #6B7F3B | Terracotta #C2452D | Champagne #F7E7CE
Close your eyes and picture a sunset over a Tuscan hillside. That's what you get with these colors! Olive is earthy and natural, terracotta is warm and sun-baked, and champagne is the perfect addition.
Perhaps you're lucky enough to be getting married in an actual vineyard (or just want it to feel like one), this combo delivers.
How to style
For your tablescape, use champagne linen tablecloths with terracotta chargers and olive green napkins. Place terracotta pots filled with fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, lavender) down the center of the table as living centerpieces. Guests can even take them home as favors.
For your groom's look, a warm tan or light olive suit with a terracotta tie and a champagne-colored boutonnière (a single garden rose or a sprig of dried wheat) would be fantastic. Groomsmen in matching tan suits with olive pocket squares gets you that cohesive look.
8. Tawny & Deep Teal – Moody Autumn
Tawny #CD8032 | Deep Teal #005F5F | Ivory #FFFFF0
Tawny is like burnished copper, a nice golden-y warm color, and is a great contrast to the richness of teal. And ivory lightens it up. Together, it's the kind of palette that makes a candlelit autumn reception more like a scene from a movie.
How to style
For your ceremony space, drape deep teal velvet across the backs of chairs or along pew ends, paired with tawny floral arrangements (think chrysanthemums, dahlias, and dried ferns). Line the aisle with ivory candles in brass lanterns to set the mood.
For your reception lighting, use warm amber uplighting against the walls with deep teal table linens and ivory candles in tawny-gold holders. Hang a few teal and ivory paper lanterns or drape ivory fabric from the ceiling to soften the space. You’re welcome!
