Let’s talk about the perfect color combination for a fall wedding. A beautiful Halloween wedding day does not need to be moody and dark with spooky wedding decor ideas! You can put a twist to your wedding day with a brighter color scheme for your wedding day. You can use burnt orange, dusty pink, deep violet, and hunter green for your wedding day! Starbucks, back in 2020, used these colors for its fall campaign. And the moment we laid eyes on it, we fell in love with it! We love the pastel-like appeal of this beautiful color palette and feel that it will work well for your wedding day!
For your indoor or outdoor fall wedding, this color palette looks just right. You can add a lovely pristine white detail to the palette. For example, you can use dusty or other hues of pink as your wedding details. You can use ribbons or drapes to add magical touches to your wedding. Deep violet, burnt orange, and hunter green can be used as your wedding reception decor. You can also use these shades to create a beautiful tablescape with velvet touches to the setting. And to inject beauty, you can use burnt orange tapered candles on your wedding dinner tables! Additionally, you can add lanterns to the mix! Instead of looking for lanterns that fit your wedding’s aesthetic, choose hollowed-out pumpkins with carved spooky faces or you can have patterns carved on them to add more details to your wedding!
Also, you can use these colors as a part of your bridal party’s outfits! You can divide the colors and have the groom and his groomsmen dressed in two or more shades, and have the remaining colors slotted for the bride and bridesmaids’ outfits, or vice versa!
For this, all you need is a beautiful wedding venue and a color scheme! For this idea, we recommend using different hues of yellow. We recommend using bright yellow, warm yellow, pastel yellow, on the deeper side, deep caramel brown, baby pink, and dusty pink! These shades work brilliantly well for your wedding.

We love yellow weddings and feel that the different hues of yellows will add a bright breath of sunshine to your fall wedding. The different hues of brown and pink can be used as wedding accents. And when we say “bright shine,” we mean for you to add beautiful lights to your wedding day! You can add a wonderful glow to your wedding with string and fairy lights. From balls of lights on a string lighting up the ceiling to the wonderful aisle runners, there’s so much you can do with these. Also, if your wedding venue for the day has trees, wrap them around the tree trunks to make them look just right!
That said, you can also use the string lights to add a magical touch to your wedding cake table decor. Another way to add beauty to your wedding day’s decor, we’d like to swap out a hue of yellow shade for gold.
