    Miss Bella    October 15, 2011   Blue Bell, PA

    I have been recently think about what color I want to have for my bridesmaid dresses.  I am kind of at a stand still so I wanted to ask the Bees what colors they think would be good for an October wedding!  Tell me what you think!

    So far I have come up with..

    -Burnt Orange

    -Deep Red

    -Dark Purple

    What are some other fall colors that would look good for bridesmaid dresses?!~

    My colors are black and white. BM's dresses are black. Although, the flowers will have a splash of dark pink/maroon or something like that. The BM's are carrying calla lillies of that color.

    White and taupe, with bits of sage green.  My BM dress is black.  Flower girl is in ivory & taupe.  Flowers are all white with green accents with lots of texture.  Thought about going with eggplant or dark purple, but even though I love it, it just wasn't what I was picturing for the day.  I think eggplant and orange are GREAT choices for fall though.

    This makes me laugh. I had no idea how many people loved eggplant! I do. My wedding is in a pine forrest with the following colors; ivory, indigo, EGGPLANT, green, and mabey bits of orange, and canberry for some pop.

    When I chose these colors I had no idea of their popularity just that I loved them for fall.

    Our colors are inspired by peacock feathers.  So brown, apple green, navy blue, and ivory are our colors.  The girls are wearing navy blue.  I initially wanted to have them wear peacock blue, but when I found an actual dress in that color, it was like "WHAAAA!!  HELLO!!!  I'm wearing peacock blue!!!!"  It was pretty, but I thought with 6 girls wearing it it would be really loud.  So...navy.  And the flowers will be green and ivory, with mine having some bright blue pops in it (like blue thistle), too.

    We are still up in the air about the rest of our fall colors but so far Plum Purple 

    Maybe Green, Raspberry, or Burnt orange...not sure yet. I can't find good pictures with the purple and orange yet. I love the raspberry pink but then it would turn more into a spring wedding...and the Green- I don't even know lol The wedding is not that far away and I can't even get it together on my colors...

    I was going to do traditional "fall" colors...but decided on  a deep, slate grey and apple green...with white accents.

    I only have a MOH and she is going to get her dress in the apple green

    We're going with a deep, jewel-toned purple, green, and ivory! Seems like a popular combo...and I thought I was being original :-)

    I didn't go with the seasons at all for my October wedding. In Texas we don't really get a fall, and in Oct everything is bright & fresh.

    I had a mostly white wedding, with green accents. Some think all white is too stark, but I just love the simplicity & elegance of white, esp among the grass & trees!

    My accent colour is going to be sage green.  The venue is a clubhouse with dark wood beams and beautiful hardwood flooring, and so I think that will look beautiful.

    Since our wedding is so close to halloween, I didn't want it to seem like we have a "Halloween" theme, even though my favourite colour is orange, my car is orange and my favourite "holiday" is Halloween!

    The primary color is the purple and then orange... the other two are just b/c I can't stand only using two colors. :) I was aiming for an eggplant/plum, but the purple my BM dresses came in was this purple that had more blue in it... not quite as blue as indigo, but more blue than I wanted... oh well.

    I was married in October but didn't really do the fall theme.  My bridesmaid had a navy dress and the flowers were hot pink and orange.  But I'm also a bridesmaid in an October wedding coming up and our dresses will be apple red.

    It's so fun to see all these color inspirations! It's also funny to me, because I bet if we were to ask the grooms, the colors would be called something very different! lol

    Our colors are moss, chocolate brown, pomegrante and gold. My MOH is wearing the moss, one BM is wearing chocolate brown and the other is wearing a latte brown dress. The groomman will be wearing chocolate brown vests. October Brides--what are your colors?! :  wedding colors bridesmaid dresses ImageProxy

    The dresses and colors are above. with pomegrante flowers.

    But if you asked my FI he'd say "green, brown, red and.....something else." lol

    Navy dresses, gold accents. 

    Mostly dictated by the venue & formality though, not the time of the year.

    chinese@heart    October 10, 2010   Chicago, IL

    My colors are dark purple and red. We chose a bright red b/c it is a good luck color in chinese, and also great in the fall. The eggplant color that I loved looked blue next to the red, and I did not want a red, white, and blue wedding.

    The reception colors will be white, red, and dark purple (white tablecloths). Beyond the wedding dress, I really didn't want any white but also didn't want to pay $15/table for another color. I added some yellow to our flowers instead to make them pop more.
