BRIDAL COLORS FOR FALL/SPRING?

Ladies let's start with the GROOMS.  It's not every year that the men even make a mark on Bridal Fashion, so this year it's nice that they are really stepping out of the box.  And, no it doesn't mean that you give him free reign, but it's nice to see that YOUR BIG DAY is also HIS BIG DAY.   So, if hubby to be comes to you and voices his desire that the groomsmen wear Grey, Brown, Blue, on even pinstripes - LISTEN because he is on to one of the next hot trends in bridal color. 

To further complicate your bridal palette, I've noticed that Bridesmaids are looking at bolder colors like Burgundy, Canary Yellow, Olive, and Royal Purple. Unlike pastels, bolder colors can be a lot more challenging to coordinate, and to add to that the groomsmen don't want to wear black tuxedos and you've got yourself a catastrophe if you're color challenged.

So to help you navigate in the world of color for the Fall and early Spring season here are three of our tops choices:

COLOR COMBINATION 1:  Champagne, Gold, Peach, and Brown. 

MEN:  Brown suits with brown bow ties over peach shirts (if they try to go pink just say NO! It's just too over done and we don't want to startle the older men, lol). Pull it all together with apricot floral corsages.
WOMEN: The women should wear peach or brown dresses with contrasting sashes. The women can accent their dresses with gold heels and jewelry.  A classic gold sequins clutches purse would also be nice. 

COLOR COMBINATION 2: Lavender, Plum, and Platinum 

MEN:  Platinum or charcoal grey suits with lilac shirts.  Plum corsages, bow ties, and handkerchiefs will bring this color palette together for a strong finish.
WOMEN: The bridesmaids can wear lavender with plum accents or vice versa.  Silver jewelry and shoes work well with this color combination.

COLOR COMBINATION 3: Navy Blue, a faint Mint Green, and a Pastel Yellow

MEN:   Navy blue suits with mint green shirts.  A nice yellow carnation corsage would pop with this color combination.
WOMEN:  Navy blue or mint green dresses with yellow sashes, shoes, and accessories.

So please let your imagination guide you.  The above  suggestions will offer you lots of exciting floral and decor opportunities.  I can definitely see a peach invitation with a brown inlay and metallic gold writing; or silver candle holders with layers of lavender orchids and plum fabric, or a lakeside with centerpieces of hydrangea and carnation combinations pulling on the pastel yellow and green theme,  with table setting using rich navy blue accents for an executive finish.
