Hi all

We're getting married in November and are having an autumn theme. So colours are browns, russets, coppers, dark reds, etc...

I'm just a bit nervous about buying things seperately really (a lot of the weddingg is being provided by ebay). How do I know everything will look right? Has anyone else had this colour theme? I'm worried that if i buy something in brown, something else in red, etc, that it's all going to look like a real mish mash when I put it together.

Did anyone else have these worries, regardless of colour scheme?

I need to start buying stuff, but am holding back 'just in case' but I really need to bite the bullet soon. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey hun i also have an Autumn color scheme! i would say try stuff and trust ur instincts- my bms dresses are a coppery brown and everyone kicked up a fuss about the color said it would go etc etc but now ive got all the bits together it ties in lovely with everything else! also if ur worried about color clashes do what i did and have a lot of ivory aswell as all the autumny colors go well with it! let me know if you need any more help chick! x

Have you chosen your BM dresses yet? I think the BM dress colour is the starting point, then you can choose your colours for the flowers and then you should be able to match the accessories from there and you'll see it all come together.

I had a bit of trial and error with my accessories and didn't use everything I bought where I'd changed my mind when matching other things.

I got all the little bits from ebay too, so didn't lose out much when I didn't use something, just sold it on again.

Have a look at this link for some ideas http://images.google...m...mages&gbv=2

It is hard to imagine how it'll all look, but it does all come together in your mind eventually!

[mrsjamestobe]

I think that theme is gorgeous. I like the idea that wide_eyed suggested about tying all the colours together with ivory. I don't think you'll get too many clashing issues with different shades of brown, but the reds might be a bit of an issue. I agree that the BM dresses should be a starting point and just take it from there.

To be honest, it's such a beautiful theme (I love autumn) that I don't think you can go too wrong! Good luck xx

I also agree this theme is Gorgeous
I always knew I wanted an Autumn theme wedding with it being in September and also didnt know which colour to start with but once I found this picture I based the colours around this and it just all fell into place ....

(hope this works, first time ive uploaded pics and without the help of hubby2b lol)

I think this will probably happen with you too, you'll just find a key piece or picture and match to that but these colours are so lovely it will all go beautifully

good luck

I wouldnt worry about it looking missmatched at all, think about autumn the leaves turn all sorts of different shades and look beautifull, maybe you could incoperate some silk autumn leaves on the tables? If think the browns, coppers ect will be fine the reds will also be fine if you try and stick to the dark/medium shades nothing too bright. most off all trust yourself if you think it will go, then go for it.
best of luck xxxxx

Hi!

Im getting married end of oct so im having a natural themes wedding but with autumnal colours, my main colour will be emerald green with light green and burnt orange as an accent.

I to am worrying though that things could end up looking a bit of a mish mash! However i think its been said before but lots of ivory will brighten it all up a bit but it all goes well and hopefully things won't clash.

[nina]

sounds great, I'm sure it will all look lovely.

Have you thought about getting some paint colour charts and trying various colours together

[MrsClarkToBe]

I'm going for an Autumn theme too (albeit not till 2011 lol!). Its such a gorgeous season and if the weather is good the sunset colours will be so lovely. I'm thinking of having chocolate brown BM dreses (or maybe even orange if I can convince them!) with lots of creams and golds too. I think the beauty of autumn colours is that they all compliment each other so well (probably because all those colours occur together in nature too he he!)

Don't know if you would be interested but during my research I found these autumn/leaf-themed favours:-

thanks to everyone - keep the ideas coming!! i appreciate all the comments

[Mrs Edd2Be]

Im getting married in November and will be having Red and light gold.

I guess its all about trial and error, perhaps get some colour charts and put them together and see which match the best?

[Mrs Lowery to be]

Hello,

We are getting married in October with an autumn theme! But the variety of colours is one of the reasons that I love it! Autumn does not have set colours, it is a range of rich vibrant red, browns and oranges, so even if the napkins do not match the invitation exactly, you would struggle to find two matchin leaves in autmn.

Hope this helps and i have not ranted - its my first post you see!

Hi

I'm sure an autumn theme will be lovely, such a gorgeous time of year. There's an Autumn tiara on my website it it's any help, the colours are golds, browns, rusts and green.

sounds beautiful!!

I had an october wedding and was originally thinking i'd wear a pale gold dress and have red and orange. Then changed it to purple and orange. The changed it to emerald green dresses and theme with orange and red flowers, and then changed to emerald green with pink and white flowers as i had an ivory dress!

I kept to my main colour of dark green and literally only had pink in the flowers and as coloured water in the centerpieces to contrast against the green x

[~kirsten~]

We started off intended to have an autumn theme but it kind of changed a little but we did stick to orange as our colour. If anyone is having an autumn themed wedding & would like some pinecones, all dried out & bug free let me know

[sarahjp]

Hello,
I started off as having a pine cone theme (getting married in October) this then turned into a very natural theme!
Pine cones,small tree branch slices,brown & cream leaves ( i very easily sprayed green craft leaves with spray from B & Q) & cream vintage style rose buds. I think as long as you have the theme,which is Autumn,you can then have any combination,we have various shades of browns for the table & it all works together really well.
To keep costs down i brought luxury pot pourii from BHS which has bruch balls & various other natural pieces in it & am going to put it in long glass vases for the centre piece,am suprised how good it really looks!! without costing a fortune!

My dress is latte colour with taupe sash & the bridesmaids taupe dresses with latte sach's with the men wearing prince edward brown suits,i cant wait,am so excited!!!

[sarah 251009]

We re having an autumn theme too!!

we are getting married 25th oct!!

the colours that we have gone for are browns and oranges, im not being too precise as i like the miss matched colours as thats what autumn is all about to me the naturalness, we are having candle light and fruit and plans on the table or centrepieces, chocolate brown and ivory bridesmaides dress and the flowers are orange roses with berries in.

Hi,

Autumn is a great time (and fantastic colours) for getting married. I am getting married at the end of November this year. BM dresses are bronze and my groom has choosen brown suits, so everyone should fit in nicely. As other's have mention, the colours we see in autumn never match, and it will feel more natural having a slight variation. Stick with your ideas.

I am having troubles in thinking of autumn names for the tables. I would rather not have numbers but am stuck with what to call the seven tables?? ANy ideas??

Thanks ladies, nadsx

[MrsDonnelly2b]

Hi I'm thinking of the possibility of an autumn theme too, love the burnt orange colour x

[Aurora]

[ItsAWrapWeddings]

Hello there,

I have an autumn section on my site that you might want to look at for inspiration - my favourite is the copper coloured leaf bookmark but there are loads of items there that are lovely!

i would start by getting your bridemaids dresses the right colour and then carry on from there, anything bought and not right can be re sold on ebay again i guess, especially with their no insertion fee days/weekends (like this weekend!), good luck and enjoy!

mrsjamestobe - your getting married the same day at me! congrats, hope all the planning is coming along, only nine months to go now! eek!
