Autumn Colour Schemes – Brown

Yes, we know, the thought of a brown wedding doesn’t exactly fill you with excitement. We weren’t excited either… until we started thinking about all the wonderful shades that combine so perfectly with brown to make a rather dreamy wedding. So, if you’re looking for a little inspiration, take a look at these lovely colour matches, all featuring brown as the main shade.

Brown and… cream

A simple palette of brown and cream is a perfect choice for a rustic wedding.

Cream and white flowers fit the bill, and look lovely when encased in natural fabrics.

If possible, use wooden chairs with ivory seat pads for your ceremony, and ivory flowers as pew ends.

Keep tables simple, with wooden chairs to introduce the brown and elegant china and glassware.

Brown and… blue

Use blue as your main colour, for bridesmaid dresses, stationery and flowers, and introduce brown in the details such as table linen, ribbons and shoes.

Sometimes you really don’t need to do much to introduce a colour. In this elegant wedding, chairs and base plates are in brown, while the water glasses offer a splash of blue.

If you plan to use a softer shade of blue, keep the brown delicate too. The two paler colours work well together, without one overshadowing the other.

Brown and… orange

These colours are the very best of friends and a popular choice for an autumn wedding. Choose rich, chocolate brown and warm hues of oranges and reds.

Brown and… green

We have to admit, this is one of our favourite colour combinations and a great choice throughout the year. We’re particularly fond of bright, lush green and brown for the spring, or even a July or August wedding.

Brown and green work wonderfully with pure white for an uncluttered, romantic, rustic theme. Long tables featuring a brown runner, greenery, white china and white pillar candles create a stunning look.

Brown and… pink

Staying on the brown wedding theme, this is one of the prettiest colour combos with brown working so well with all hues of pink. Pastel pink and chocolate brown are cute as a button, while magenta and deep brown are a fabulous duo for an evening celebration. Copper and dusky pink are very ‘on trend’.

You don’t need to hunt for brown flowers. Instead, stand your vases on pieces of wood, introducing the theme of nature to your day. This also raises the flowers adding height to the centerpieces.
