There's no better color for autumn than a rich rusty red. Use it as a strong base color and it almost becomes a neutral - then add accents of lighter pinks, blush, and tan to soften the mood.
Shades of Rust & Pink:
I've said this a lot already in my other recent posts about fall color schemes, but it's so important that it bears repeating: autumn is all about layer different textures to achieve the perfect cozy, warm, romantic mood.
There are a lot of easy ways to incorporate different shades of color and different textures into your wedding. Mix several blooms in your bouquets and centerpieces, or even create a bouquet out of vintage pins, paper, or fabrics like lace, feathers, leather, sheer organza, and silk. Let each bridesmaid pick out a dress in the fabric, fit, and shade of her choice. Go antiquing and thrift store shopping to amass a collection of patterned plates in rusty red and blush pink shades so that each table place setting is a little different. Create an organic color scheme that flows back and forth between members of the same color family without getting too matchy-matchy, and all of your guests will feel right at home.
