Pick one warm, one cool

Fall palettes can get heavy with all warm colors. Balance burnt orange or rust with a cooler shade like sage, navy or teal so photos don't look too brown.

Use seasonal flowers and textures

Dahlias, garden roses, ranunculus, dried grasses and berries carry fall colors naturally. Velvet ribbons, linen napkins and candles add depth to the tables.

Plan for cooler weather

Bridesmaids can wear velvet or satin in jewel tones with shawls or faux fur wraps. Groomsmen look great in tweed, brown or navy with ties in an accent color.
