    I am so overwhelmed with trying to choose colors for our wedding invites. My bridesmaid dresses are wine colored and we are doing a fall theme. I'm planning to make my own pocket fold invite, however I am having a hard time finding wine colored paper. I am contemplating on doing a brown or brown bronze colored pocketfold from paperandmore.com (http://www.paperandmore.com/products/paper/metallics/11x17/bronze_cardstock_105_50q.html). I would use a wine colored mat for the announcement. I bought some champagne pearly paper packs from JoAnn that I want to use for the Announcement and Inserts. I'm worried that brown is going to be too dark or is getting away from our main color. I've been thinking our colors could just be wine, brown and gold. I've spent far too much time thinking about this....

    I was totally going to suggest the bronze color until you said it yourself! It will look gorgeous! I have been having issues with just sticking to 2 or three colors, so I just created a theme and the colors stem from that theme! IE: Vintage Chic wedding. I want more muted colors so its been seafoam, grey, blush, evergreen, some navy and maybe even some deep raspberry! Don't limit yourself too much and the colors will come together!

    Copper, Gold, Wine, Rust, Deep Green, Ivory...theres so many colors that go together for a fall theme!

    I think that these colors would be fine together.  I don't really have a main color in my wedding planning.  My BM dresses are grey (but really nothing else!) and everything else is going to be a cranberry red and aqua with a lot of burlap!) SO I wouldn't worry about it deviating from your main color a little bit!
