A Traditional and Romantic Take on Fall Wedding Colors

There does not need much explanation of why fall is such a beautiful time of year for a wedding. The weather, the colors present in nature and the feelings of comfort and family that come along with the season are all top selling points! When choosing colors for your fall wedding one can easily be influenced by the colors of the changing leaves and cheery, plump pumpkins of the season. This traditional fall wedding color scheme of oranges, rust, goldens and cream  is a guest favorite! You can't go wrong really with sticking to these warm and welcoming shades. Now if you are a bride who doesn't like to stick to conformity and be constrained by these traditional falls colors, think outside the box. We've put together a romantic color inspiration for your consideration as well. Picture a golden wheat field at dusk with shades or purple-y gray in the sky and the creams and browns of the fields. Simply romantic, and still so totally fall. Read on for our traditional and romantic take on fall wedding colors.

12 Days of Weddings... Two Turtle Doves

It's time for our second installment of this season's 12 Days of Weddings. We all know that on the second day of Christmas, the lover in the song is given two turtle doves. A turtle dove, named for the chortling sound of its call, is a soft grey and brown bird. These lovely little creatures mate for life making them a wonderful symbol of a forever love to use in your holiday wedding motif. We've taken our cue from the rustic colored feathers of this iconic bird and created a brown, caramel, and gray inspiration board for your enjoyment.

Our Favorite Things - Aqua. Red, and Brown Paper Packaging

I know I'm not the only one who is obsessed with the modern look of aqua and red paired with cute and kitschy stripes or polka dots. Add in the warm tones and textures of brown kraft paper to get a look with a modern - meets - nostalgic feel that has event planners and bloggers swooning. I've compiled some of my favorite ideas to inspire your aqua and red themed party. Pay special attention to the coordinating personalized party supplies, adorable french fry tray, and striped straws in glass bottles.

Owl Always Love You...Wedding Inspiration Board

Owls are back in a big way.  I urge all our fellow readers to jump on the owl bandwagon with me because this is one of the most adorable wedding themes I've seen in a while.  Besides being too cute, owls hold that feeling of mystery and wonder.  This theme would be perfect for pairing with softer earth tone wedding colors like the rustic browns and pale yellows seen below.

To put this 'Owl Always Love You' wedding theme together, incorporate items like sliced firewood for rustic table centerpiece bases and old stacked books to bring in the age-old wisdom symbolism.  Be sure to stamp all your stationery with owl images including your table numbers, invitations, favor bags, and wedding napkins.  Most importantly, remember to have fun with it.  This is a theme full of whimsy and is meant to showcase your personality and creativity.

Happy Planning!

Honey and Pecan Color Palette for A Wedding that is Truly 'Meant to Bee'

Create a warm color palette for your casually elegant outdoor wedding with rich tones of honey, goldenrod yellow, and pecan brown. This palette when combined with a subtle honey or bumble bee theme creates the feelings of being outdoors on a sunny summer day. Guests will love little hints at your theme here and there. A bumble bee brooch in your wedding bouquet, honeycomb inspired invitations, and pure beeswax candles are few ways to incorporate your theme without going overboard. Milk glass vases, which can be found with a little creative thrift store and attic shopping, are a beautiful accent that gives your event just a little more elegance than the popular mason jars. Fill your vases with beautiful golden yellow roses for a simple centerpiece. At the end of a beautiful night, send your guests home with a decorative jar of natural honey complete with a gift tag and a personal thank you message. For more inspiration, soak up the sunny images below!
