Where to use each color

Bridesmaid dresses#C2571A · #B5532ABurnt orange or rust satin dresses make the strongest statement. Let navy appear in the groomsmen's suits so the two colors face each other.
Flowers#C2571A · #E3A86B · #F8F4EAUse orange and peach dahlias, ranunculus, mums and marigolds with ivory roses. Blue thistle or dyed navy ribbon brings in the navy.
Invitations#1F2A44 · #C2571ANavy cardstock with cream lettering and a rust envelope liner is striking. Kraft paper with navy ink feels more rustic.
Tables#2A3A5C · #A9471C · #C9A45CUse navy linens with rust napkins and gold flatware. Add small pumpkins, candles and dried wheat as centerpieces.
Groom's suit#1F2A44 · #C2571AA navy suit with a burnt orange tie or boutonniere is the natural match. Brown leather shoes and belt fit the fall mood.
