When driving to town from my home high in the Rocky Mountains, I pass this wonderful Inn where they have outdoor weddings next to a merrily flowing creek. The Inn performances these weddings every weekend from May through October. Although I can only see the figures in the distance, what I can discern are the bride in white and the wonderful splash of color that are the bridesmaids standing at her side. I can tell what season we are in by the changing colors of those lovely attendants' dresses. So now as we are entering into the beginning of our fall season, I can see the beautiful bronzes, flame oranges, reds, deep blues and greens beginning to appear. Many couples are starting to use these wonderful hues right from the start by choosing them for their wedding invitations. If you are thinking of boldly stepping into color this fall, here are some suggestions that may help.
1. The Blue Family : For fall and early winter, the blues, greens and purples deepen. Gone are the light blues, and pastels of spring and summer and "in" are the deep, evening blues, amethysts and dark greens of fall. To begin experimenting, try using the darker colors as the base of your invitations and the lighter colors as accents. So for example, for a late September wedding, pair the glimmering sheen of amethyst with a silver or purple ribbon.
2. The Classic Fall Family : When walking in a leaf changing forest in fall, I am always stuck by the brilliant shades of browns, oranges and reds – the classic colors of this season. You can mirror these lovely, glazing shades in your invitations by using bronze and chocolate browns, or flame oranges and deep reds as your pocket folder and beautiful cream or white cards as your printed invitation card. Accent with burnt sienna. mystic blue or black ribbon and you have an elegant, yet creative invoice. These are perfect for October and early November weddings.
3. The Traditional Family : For a lovely spin on traditional whites and creams, try using shimmer paper in pearl or misty silver tones. Shimmer paper gently reflects the light, giving your invitation a touch of sophistication. Accent with silver or silver edged ribbon for an elegant finish.
Whatever your choice, beautiful color sets the tone of your invitations and will have your guests excitedly anticipating your unique celebration.
