The air is getting crisp, apples and pumpkins are popping up everywhere, and I'm so excited to be talking about new trends and fall wedding color ideas. Guys, fall does NOT have to mean orange! These beautiful colors are perfect for a modern spin on a fall wedding and only one is even slightly related to orange. Trust me – as a wedding planner in Upstate New York, I know you want to take advantage of the gorgeous fall foliage without looking too trendy (and then eventually, dated!). Keep reading for 3 killer fall wedding color ideas that will stand the test of time.

Terra Cotta

A modern version of orange, terra cotta is starting to gain traction here on the east coast. Use it on your table, for escort cards, your accessories, or your bridesmaids dresses – the possibilities are endless!

Plum

Purple's darker cousin makes a chic color choice for fall weddings. Mix it with navy for a moody feel or some fuschias and pinks for a softer look.
