We are getting married Sept. 27 of this year, and I am having trouble picking colors. We had decided on a fall theme just because of the time of the year and it would be easy to decorate for, but as I am looking for wedding ideas, I am finding I like other colors a lot more. Also, my MOH is getting married 2 weeks after me, and is having fall colors too. Because our date is so border line, (the first day of fall is sept 22) I%26#039;m wondering if it would be ok to stray from fall colors and put more vibrant colors in. But I am also wondering if people will think its strange to have say, blue orchids in my bouquet at this time of year. The trees will have just begun to turn at this point and will not have fully turned till a few weeks later. What do you guys think?
Should I have fall colors for my sept. wedding? Will other colors clash? Please help!?
You can have whatever you want. Pick what you like. It%26#039;s your wedding after all. Who cares what anyone else thinks? Do what makes you happy. It%26#039;s ok. I give you permission.
Blue orchids would be fine if they please you. My personal opinion...check out peonies. I LOVE those for weddings. They are a bit out the ordinary from the usual roses...have great color and smell incredible. Come to think of it, they might look lovely with blue orchids -- colorwise.
Reply:Hi, I am a wedding planner and this is what I would suggest. Start looking in fall wedding magazines to get an idea of the most popular colors for that season. You can get those free at some wedding gown and banquet hall venues, or buy them at your local newstand or Walgreens. And, if that doesn%26#039;t help, use your favorite colors,as long as those do not clash. Choose you and your husband to be favorite colors that look great together. Pinks and silvers, chocolate and cream, sage and chocolate, silver and white, taupe and cream, blue and ivory, blue and silver. It can be whatever inspires you, and if you want to have more of summer like colors have a theme reception. A carribean theme, Luau theme, etc... I hope these ideas help. I%26#039;m trying to figure something great for my 10 yr vow renewal that%26#039;s not so traditional. Now, I feel it%26#039;s gonna be whatever our hearts desire. At the end, it%26#039;s all about you and your husband to be.
Reply:I don%26#039;t think you should be the least bit concerned about the time of year when choosing your wedding colors. No one will think twice if you don%26#039;t have oranges, reds, etc. Each wedding is unique and most guests don%26#039;t expect to see one thing or another when joining you to celebrate the start of your marriage. In fact, all they are focusing on is how happy and in love you both look. Choose the colors that feel right for you--it will make it feel more like %26quot;your%26quot; day and when you look back at wedding pictures for years to come, the season will likely be the last thing you remember anyway.
I just got married in mid January and because it was a winter wedding everyone kept suggesting reds and greens--Christmasy colors basically. I chose white and gold with touches of black (my dress had a black sash and I wore black opera gloves) and lots of greenery with twinkle lights. It felt just perfect for what we wanted.
Have fun getting creative with your wedding plans. Go with your own vision and try not to get too stressed!
Reply:I have a MILLION ideas. I am having a fall wedding on September 13th. But i dont think that you need to have a fall wedding just because its in the fall, you can do anything you want to!!
i dont think you can do pastels but you can do like a black and white theme, or a red and white theme. Greens!
Or i saw a wedding that was a tan and light blue color, or dark brown and light blue and its was soo pretty!!
you can do anything! (let me know if i can help, ill e-mail you some of my stuff if you want to stick wit the fall theme)
Reply:I think it%26#039;s your wedding, and you can use any colors that please you. Since your maid of honor is using the fall theme, it seems natural for you to go with something else. Please yourself and your groom.
Reply:Honestly, people are either going to notice or they aren%26#039;t...and if they do, who cares what they say?! If they don%26#039;t notice, than great! As for colors, there are so many that you could look at for a Fall wedding that are vibrant but not just fall. This first link is for a color called persimmon (the orange color). I work at Davids Bridal and this color is VERY pretty and vibrant

This one is Apple...again, this is a nice shade that you could mix with a fall boquet.
Hope all this helps!
Reply:Are blue orchids available? If your heart is set on them, make your color around that palette.
Don%26#039;t worry about your friend. Just choose the colors you want, although pass up the pastels. Keep looking around and find the color(s) that suit you.
Have a happy marriage!
Reply:You can pick whatever colors you want. There really is no set color scheme you should use. Ive heard of someone having a christmas themed wedding in the Summer.
Good luck with whatever you choose!
Reply:I think that September is a month in which you can make your own, it still feels like Summer most days. My wedding is September 20th and I chose Oranges, purples, and reds for mine, which are technically Fall colors. You really can pick almost any color you want though. You dont have to be tied down to anything. It is your wedding, if you want blue, then have blue. The only reason I picked those colors is cause I like them, not because of the time of season. You will be happier if you do what you want.
flowers anniversary
