Orange You Glad I Didn't Say....Orange?

Good morning ladies (and gents)!! I'm going to make an attempt at getting back on track here and squeeze one more autumn-related post in before I have to give it up and transition into winter (I'm not sure if I'm ready for that... not I'm not).  

Focusing again on color schemes and the use of color in your wedding, it is important to take the time of year into consideration when choosing certain details (i.e. attire, flowers), but at the same time don't feel pressured to let the season dictate your color scheme.

Autumn is a great example to use because people like to embrace the color ORANGE. Orange is awesome, but Fall brides, PLEASE don't feel obligated to completely drape your day in orange when there is a whole slew of fun Fall shades...reds, burgundy, gold, various shades of brown or bronze, purples and plum, and golden yellows. Think of all the beautiful colors that are in the changing foliage and don't be afraid to mix and match! Also consider some other pops of color such as lavender, green or navy blue; used in conjunction with more traditional autumn shades they can really add an unexpected surprise and touch of modern elegance to your event.

Check out the examples below of some fabulous bouquets using traditional and not so traditional color schemes. And for more fun with color and some amazing combo ideas, take a peek at The Perfect Palette blog!!
