Tips

Balance two dark colors with plenty of ivory or blush so photos don't look heavy.
Velvet, satin and brocade make navy and burgundy look richer than flat cotton.
Burgundy dahlias, garden roses and amaranthus are easy to source in September through November.
Use warm candlelight and gold or brass accents; cool white lighting turns navy almost black.
