i instantly thought of a lighter brown, coffee-type colour as an accent. that way, not too many colours are being brought into the mix. i think the simpler, the better. check out "latte" in the david's bridal site!

Here are some pictures for you.... I love the Green, Brown and Ivory idea tho. I think it is just enough Fall, without going over board :) If you want to add another color, i would suggest going with just a couple Deep Red flowers

Brown, Green, Ivory

Brown, Green, Red or Orange

We are doing the chocolate brown, Green Tea (Sage) and Pomegranate. We were also looking for the rustic elegant look and figured that these colours would achieve. We are only pulling the red in to the flowers.

I dont think I will ever be able to make up my mind (I am the most indecisive person ever..its a family joke). Its hard to because its spring so there are no fall inspirations out there...I am afraid i will find something I like for centerpieces, go out and do them then a month later find something better:unsure:

I love some of the colors of fall, but I want to keep things simple...currently here are some ideas that I have found on this board and others that have inspired me..any comments would help..

Love this for a bouquet

Those are the colours that I'm doing!!

Personally.. I think that if you add another colour, it will look over-the-top and things might not "go" together! Chocolate brown can be a fall colour..

On the other hand...if u wanted to be more "fall-ish"..u could use chocolate brown, ivory and orange..and then just have a LITTLE bit of green?

Let us know what u decide! I have tons of inspiration pics.. most of which i've posted on that green/brown inspiration thread..

GOODLUCK :)

I agree that orange would be beautiful with green and especially brown!

I think if you get some bouquets in fall colours (reds, oranges, greens, browns) it will look good with the browns and greens, but for centerpieces you should stick with the green tones.

Okay so I just browsed the chocolate/green and ivory inspirations posted by diamondess..and I was already thinking along those lines but am trying to decide on an accent color to try and bring in a "autumnal" feel...I kinda want a rustic fall elegance?? without going overboard on the theme (not sure if i am making sense).

My dress is white with a peridot (kinda greyish/sagey green) sash, bm and moh will be in dark chocolate brown (truffle by davids bridal) and same peridot color sash...now \i cant decide if I should bring in another color for flowers or stick with ivory, I do want a fall feel without going overboard...

any ideas on what colors might look nice??
