Fall Color Combo: Nuts & Berries

Today's color scheme comes from nature, and is the perfect pairing for any rustic or orchard-themed event.

Nuts & Berries:



A color combo that draws inspiration from nuts and berries first includes many shades of brown, from light tans to medium chestnuts and dark chocolate browns. Once you have a solid neutral base, add subtle hints of light green (think pistachios, grass, and moss) and eye-catching pops of bright cherry red for a unique color scheme that feels both freshly modern and completely natural.

Use real (or good-looking fake) nuts and berries whenever you can in your decor, and incorporate other natural textures like wood and moss. Have guests sign a wooden plank or thin slice of a tree trunk instead of a typical guest book, or set up a "wishing tree" out of rustic twigs and branches that guests can hang little notes on for you and your new spouse.

I love the idea of red-dressed bridesmaids covering up with a rich brown blazer, shrug, or vest (as seen in the group picture in the second row). It instantly feels more autumnal to have bare shoulders lightly covered, and it continues the casualness of the rustic decor into the outfits in a unique way.
