Okay, hear us out: These colors sound rather, um, grandmotherly when you say them out loud, but they can totally pull off that boho lewk you’re going for with a late fall or early winter wedding. The mauve works seamlessly in the floral arrangements and arch decor, but is also a big color for bridesmaids’ dresses.

When I think of the months from October through March, I think of this rich wine color (and actual wine, ofc). Especially when you accent it with navy as a neutral and even a lil bit of gold, it flows so well with everything from your signage and seating charts to your florals, bridesmaids dresses, and groomsmen ties.

I personally wouldn’t have thought to put these two colors together, so I’m glad someone else did because wow. If a boho-chic desert wedding is in the cards for you, this should be your color palette. The terracotta color is so vivid on in tablescapes, in your florals, or in a bridesmaid’s dress.

Ivories and blushes are obv classic and gorgeous in a bouquet, and champagne slip dresses were the big bridesmaid trend of fall weddings this year, so why not embrace it?!
