Fall 2009 Color Palette


Still unsure about what colors to use for your fall wedding? This year's fall pallette is all about the warm EARTHY hues for a sense of comfort (think wet sandy beaches and lattes), as well as contrasting colors that pop! Want to go bold???? Try a deep, mid-night blue or a rich shade of purple. These intense colors are excellent choices in setting the stage for formal affairs. Don’t feel intimidated by the idea of using these deep shades ... done properly, a purple tablescape can be absolutely stunning! Flowers come in all shades of purples and violets; use a variety of them to add depth to your arrangements.
Did you have something more subtle in mind? Try using a palette of soft nude tones combined with a blush or a burnt sienna for a more romantic feel.... perfect for any wedding.
For the contemporary couple, consider a slate gray with a splash of yellow–green. The splash of green introduces a fresh element to a potentially understated color.
There you have them, the 10 "official" shades of Fall '09. Use them for inspiration but decide on the colors that match your personality best for a true, perfect match.
