Back for more fall wedding colors? Woohoo! Honestly, I had so much fun putting together the first round of combos that I couldn't stop there.

(If you missed my previous post, please go and check it out…there are some great fall color ideas waiting for you.)

This time I've got even more fall wedding color combos that are just as dreamy and totally on-trend.

So pour yourself something warm, light that apple cinnamon candle, and let's see if we can find the palette your fall wedding deserves.

1. Mulberry & Camel – Velvet Dusk

Mulberry #770737 | Camel #C5A76D | Blush #F8D7E0

No, it’s not burgundy! This is mulberry, and I love it. It's deep and it's great for fall. Pair it with camel and you get this luxurious, velvety warmth vibe. Blush adds a nice layer of femininity.

This combo is wonderful for ballrooms, estate venues, or anywhere with candlelight. Lots and lots of candlelight.

How to style

For your invitations, try blush card stock with mulberry letterpress and camel foil accents. Your bridesmaids would look incredible in mulberry velvet gowns carrying bouquets of blush garden roses, camel dried grasses, burgundy ranunculus, and trailing silk ribbons.

At the reception, layer camel table runners over blush linens, add mulberry taper candles in gold holders, and scatter blush petals down the center of the table.

2. Paprika & Oatmeal – Spiced & Simple

Paprika #8B2500 | Oatmeal #D9C9A5 | Dusty Rose #DCAE96

If you want something that’s still great for fall, but a bit more muted, then this is your combo. Paprika still has that spicy kick, and oatmeal brings it right back down to earth. Then the dusty rose is still feminine but not too overpowering.

Barns, ranches, desert venues, outdoor tents, this palette is great for a relaxed setting.

How to style

Set up your ceremony with a simple wooden arch draped in oatmeal linen, dried pampas grass, paprika-toned roses, and dusty rose dahlias. Line the aisle with terracotta pots and candles.

For favors, send your guests home with mini bags of spiced nuts or cinnamon sugar cookies wrapped in oatmeal muslin with a paprika wax seal. Simple, beautiful, and it smells fabulous!

3. Ochre & Eucalyptus – Golden Meadow

Ochre #CC7722 | Eucalyptus #7BA78A | Cream #FFF8E7

Ochre is a natural clay earthy color. It makes me think of a meadow full of leaves turning colors in October. Eucalyptus is fresh and organic, and cream keeps everything bright. So you get earthy, organic, but still cheerful.

Garden parties, vineyard weddings, open-air ceremonies, anywhere with lots of natural light and greenery, these colors shine.

How to style

Put your bridesmaids in eucalyptus green gowns and give them bouquets with ochre sunflowers, chamomile, and mixed greenery tied with cream silk ribbon.

For your reception, go with cream linens, eucalyptus garland runners, and ochre napkins. Add brass candlesticks, potted herbs as favors, and handwritten place cards on cream stock with ochre ink. So pretty!

4. Claret & Stone – Regal Autumn

Claret #7F1734 | Stone #A09484 | Gold #C5961B

Alright, this combo means business. Claret is rich and commanding, makes me think of a fine wine or velvet curtains in a grand library. Stone gives it an understated elegance, and gold brings in just the right amount of glamour. Such a regal palette for a fall wedding!

I can see this in a historic venue, ballroom, or a manor house. Pretty much anywhere with architectural detail.

How to style

For your stationery, go with stone-colored card stock, claret envelope liners, and gold foil lettering. It immediately sets the tone for something special.

Style the groom in a charcoal suit with a claret tie and gold cufflinks. Groomsmen can wear stone-toned suits with claret pocket squares and gold tie bars. For boutonnieres, a single claret dahlia with a gold leaf accent is definitely sharp.

5. Fig & Dusty Sage – Organic Romance

Fig #6C3461 | Dusty Sage #A3B18A | Champagne #F7E7CE

Fig is such an underrated wedding color. It's like plum…but not as intense. Dusty sage is organic, and champagne wraps it all in something dreamy.

This is great for garden venues, greenhouses, or any venue where you’re going to be surrounded by nature. Be warned, you might be tempted to wander through your reception barefoot!

How to style

For your ceremony, set up a lush floral arch with fig-toned roses and dusty sage foliage, and trailing vines. Add champagne sheer fabric draped along the sides.

At the reception, place champagne linens with dusty sage napkins and fig floral centerpieces in brass or ceramic vessels. Add in sprigs of sage and olive branches all along the tables.

6. Saffron & Espresso – Bold Harvest

Saffron #F4C430 | Espresso #3B2316 | Linen #F5F0E8

Saffron and espresso. But wait…aren’t these ingredients you’d find in the kitchen? Sure, but you can also use them in your wedding!

Saffron is bold, bright, and yet warm, like a burst of sunshine on a crisp fall day. Espresso is so rich and grounding and linen prevents it from being too intense. Now you’ve got a harvest dinner you'll never forget.

Farmhouse tables, rustic venues, outdoor celebrations under string lights, this palette is ideal for those settings.

How to style

Go with a dessert spread on a dark wooden farmhouse table. Espresso-toned linens, saffron marigolds in amber glass jars, and treats like espresso brownies, pumpkin tarts, and salted caramel cupcakes with saffron-colored frosting. Oh man, my mouth is watering!

Then display everything on wooden boards and copper trays.

7. Maple & Dusty Mauve – Falling Leaves

Maple #C04000 | Dusty Mauve #B08B8D | Soft White #FAF9F6

This is peak fall romance. Maple is vibrant and fiery, like the color of a leaf you pick up off the ground. Dusty mauve tempers it with something more intimate. And with the soft white, it works well for outdoor ceremonies surrounded by changing leaves, or even in a low-lit indoor space.

How to style

For your bridesmaids, dress them in dusty mauve gowns with bouquets of maple-toned roses, off-white peonies, and wispy grasses tied with mauve silk ribbon.

Create a photo backdrop with a vintage mantel or wooden frame draped in soft white fabric, maple and mauve floral clusters, and scattered fall leaves at the base.

8. Chestnut & Fern – Forest Floor

Chestnut #954535 | Fern #4F7942 | Ivory #FFFFF0

If you love the outdoors, this one's for you. Chestnut is woodsy and fern is giving off forest vibes. I imagine a forest floor after a light rain. Ahhh, so peaceful!

Woodland venues, cabins, national park ceremonies, treehouses (yes, treehouses!) these colors belongs in nature.

How to style

Set up your ceremony under the trees with a simple arch made of birch branches, fern fronds, ivory roses, and ivy. Line the aisle with moss, scattered fern leaves, and lanterns with ivory pillar candles.

For your reception, go with ivory linens, chestnut leather table runners or chargers, and fern centerpieces in wooden boxes. Add chestnut-toned votives, pinecone place card holders, and mini potted ferns as favors guests can take home and grow.
