Think Purple and Orange for your Fall Wedding

When it comes to Fall colors most people think gold, yellow, brown, green and orange and those colors are lovely but by adding purple to the mix you bring a new and dramatic look to the standard Autumn wedding color line up. The contrasting colors of purple and orange go surprisingly well together and this trendy color combination is becoming increasingly popular with modern brides.

Although purple and orange isn't a traditional wedding color combo, they work together well for an elegant traditional wedding but can also be used for an offbeat wedding theme such as Halloween. In fact, aside from the average orange and black, I don't think you'll find a better color choice for a fun Halloween Wedding.

Purple and orange is also the perfect color combination for a sunset at the beach wedding which is nice for a summer wedding but also quite doable in early Fall when the temperatures have cooled down a bit but are still agreeable for an outdoor wedding. Imagine how pretty your wedding photos will look when your colors match the nearly night sky.

One of the challenges to choosing purple and orange as your wedding colors is getting the guys on board with it. You can avoid many of the grunts and groans by choosing black tuxedos for the men and incorporating the purple and orange into their look in small bites such as choosing purple and orange damask accessories, or using only purple or orange for their accessories with floral boutonnieres of the contrasting color.

Your bridesmaids can all dress in one of the colors and have your maid of honor really stand out in the other. Their flower bouquets and/or a ribbon of the contrasting color can tie everything up in a neat little bow.

Another challenge when using the purple and orange color combination for your wedding might be finding the perfect wedding invitations that match the tone and style of your special day. I've found a great place to purchase personalized wedding invites that are high quality and extremely affordable.

Each of the custom wedding invitations found there are created by individual artists and photographers who use their unique artistic abilities to create gorgeous invitations in a huge range of styles so you're sure to find one that's just right for your big day.
