    I'm getting married in October, at the height of fall foliage season in northeast Georgia. Originally, I'd planned on using a traditional autumn palatte -- oranges, peaches, coppers, antique golds, chocolate browns, ivories.

    However, I've been getting some push-back from my sister, the MOH. She claims she doesn't look good in most shades of orange, peach, copper, and antique gold. Now she's a sweetheart and would wear anything I wanted, but I really want her to LIKE her dress. She suggested red, but red is extremely played out among my circle of friends.

    Still, she got me thinking... What about a muted fall palatte? Keep the peaches and gold with touches of deeper orange/rust here and there. Ivories and chocolate browns can stay. But add pale pinks instead of reds.

    Both my sister and my other bridesmaid love pink, so they'd be happy. And I love the way peach, pink, and ivory roses look together, so I'd be happy. My only concern is this color scheme might be a bit too pastel for an autumn wedding. What do you think?

    I think the gold will provide all the *warmth* you need - it will be beautiful!

    I think your color scheme sounds gorgeous!  Go for it!  There is no reason for you to have to match your colors to the season of your wedding date.

    That is really similar to the color scheme I was going for, and mine was adapted for summer from my original fall inspiration haha! So I definitely think it is close enough, and I just love those colors in general.

    Peach , pink and gold are my colors as well!   Our wedding is this August.  I think the shade of pink you choose just needs to be a bit deeper to make it fall appropriate.  

    This is one of my favorite inspiration boards: here

    Have you considered Peach, Plum and Gold? That make make things a bit nice for the season.  It's actually a gorgeous color scheme that not many people use.  Be ahead of the trend!  Love it.

    Not the best board: but it's something!

    Thanks so much for all your input, ladies! I really appreciate it.

    It's taken me all week, but I think I'm finally starting to solidify my vision for this wedding -- and my color scheme. I've attached my first attempt at an inspiration board below. it's a very muted fall color palatte, but it doesn't look at all spring-ish to me; and it incorporates plenty of my beloved peaches. Plus, while I think the Praline bridesmaid dress may be a winner, it offers lots of non-orange, non-yellowish, and non-flesh-colored options if my sister wants something more colorful.

    What do you think? (I used an actual picture of my dress and ceremony/reception venue.)

    Very pretty!  I especially like the idea of white-painted gourds as centerpieces.

    I'm doing blush pink, gold, champagne and a hint of green (not grass green, still trying to figure out the tone)  Laughing

    It sounded gorgeous in your title, and then your inspiration board sealed the deal for me. I mean, I think any color palette you want is fine regardless of the season, but I actually think your ideas jive really well with fall, anyway. Beautiful ideas!

    I think gold is a fantastic base color for any season--and your color scheme will look great!  The foliage can provide the pops of color and you can use the muted pastels.  beautiful!

    No- this combo is great for fall, especially because of the color gold.  It really anchors it and makes it more than just pastels.

    That's the color palette I would want if I were choosing now! Absolutely gorgeous, whimsical, girly and magical (do I sound crazy? But I imagine some white and orange pumpkins in there which makes it kind of Cinderella). I'm locked in to green and yellow.
