Autumn’s slight chill and rustic coziness gives us a ton of inspiration for planning fall weddings. In wine country, fall wedding color palettes work with the rusts, golds and browns in the vineyard. We put together three color palettes, Fall Brights, Cool Blues and Inspired by Light that work with all of autumn’s many moods.

Fall brights

Just because you’re planning a fall wedding doesn’t mean you have to succumb to a pumpkin-spiced color palette. This Al Fresco California Bohemian wedding from a shoot on the The Sweetest Occasion brings brights to an outdoor table.

Pinterest was made for color palettes – this pinboard from @lifeofleodesign shares colorful wedding ideas that stay true to the season’s charm.

Cool Blues

In wine country, we get inspiration from fat purple grapes for autumn events. From BHG – this cluster of berries brings a cool rustic feeling to the table.

Inspired by Light

Wedding photographers’ web sites offer images from people skilled at capturing light. Here, from Neal and Saskia Photography, the sun streams through barn skylights for natural perfection. 

It’s a toss up — whether the best thing about having a wine country wedding in the fall is the natural decor or the light. This image photographed by Clayton Austin via Green Wedding Shoes takes our breath away.
