    Our wedding is in October and we're going for an informal, fun, but still elegant feeling. I like warm fall colors like reds, browns, oranges, and purples, but I still love bright blue. It's my favorite color - I just can't imagine our wedding without it. FI and I put this together today while we were at Hobby Lobby. Let me know what you think. I'm thinking about using gerber daisies for the big day.

    If I understand you comment correctly, I totally think it would work with the look and feel you are going for. And you would have your something blue too!!!

    That blue flower would totally match my shoes :-)

    If you took out the red it would be perfect. The blue, purple and bright orange/red shade go well together but the orange and dark red clash. I've seen some gorgeous bouquets with those bright colors but you have to be careful how you combine them. Blue and purple really aren't fall colors so I say either go all the way with the fall colors: dark red, brown, deep green, burnt orange. Or go all the way with the bright colors: bright orange, purple, blue, yellows, etc.

    @kala_way: That particular purple flower has light purple and darker purple. I was using it for the dark purple shade - my bridesmaids are wearing DB Lapis, which is kind of a plummy, deep sunset color, which is kinda like fall.

    Well, personally I think you have to pick between red and purple if you want fall. I think purple can be kinda fall if it's used with orange and the wedding is more on the bright/fun side.

    And of course there are a ton of red/orange fall weddings. To me red, orange and purple all together looks like carnival not fall--which can be awesome, but doesn't seem fall to me. My .02

    @kala_way: Thanks! The top picture is pretty and does look fall-ish, but the bottom definitely does look like a carnival or something.

    Maybe just orange bouquets for the bridesmaids, then a more elaborate, bright color bouquet for me. Thanks for the feedback!

    @bells: Thanks! That's how I kind of feel about it too. I love all the colors in pairs, but not so much all mixed in together. Why is picking colors so hard??? lol

    I completely agree with @bells

    The 3 just aren't harmonious together, it's too much. Pick two and stick to that :) Good luck!

    While the bright blue isn't a fall color, I say use it if you love it. My colors are purple and orange, which is a combination I love. I think purple and orange with a few pops of blue could be really fun, but I would leave out the red.

    I would suggest doing chocolate brown with blue and orange or blue and red accents.  THat might be a good way to get a fall feel and have your blue too.  Like this maybe: Bouquet Colors... give me your opinion! :  wedding flowers bouquets colors purple blue red orange Wedding Colors
