Since November weddings are in the same month as Thanksgiving, some couples keep this holiday in mind when planning their wedding. Therefore, some couples may incorporate thanksgiving colors into their wedding decor. These colors include warm earthly tones such as brown, orange, yellow, and red. Gold and teal are also popular November wedding colors.

Not only do these colors define November’s fall season, but they are also perfect for a cozy autumn wedding celebration. But as stated before, these aren’t your only options for your November wedding. Read on to learn more color options for your fall wedding. 

Black

Don’t be afraid to experiment with this color for your wedding decor. Although black is considered the color of mourning or bad luck, you can still use it for your wedding. After all, the bad things that are associated with black are just superstitions. Plus, black matches everything, which means that you can combine it with any color of your choice.

Some couples opt for the typical black and white or black and gold color schemes but feel free to try out different combinations. Or, if you’re having a gothic-themed wedding in the fall, then black and orange or black and blood-red combos are great choices for your wedding decorations. 

Mahogany

 

Mahogany is a dark reddish-brown shade that emits warmth and symbolizes strength. Mahogany looks great with forest green, pink, yellow, orange, and ivory hues, most of which are the traditional autumn colors. 

Since Mahogany is a natural wood color, it is a perfect option for couples that are going to have a rustic or outdoor wedding during the fall. Think Mahogany table cloths with ivory table runners. Or consider getting some Mahogany folding chairs that’ll add woodsy touches to your November wedding. 

Burgundy

Another top color for the fall season is burgundy. Burgundy is very similar to Mahogany, as it is also a reddish-brown shade. The only difference is that burgundy has a more reddish and purplish tinge while mahogany has more of a brownish and copper tinge. 

You can try pairing it with pale and light colors such as white, pale pink, beige, and cream to offset the dark burgundy shade. It is also safe to pair it with gray, green, navy, brown, yellow, and gold. 

Pink

Burgundy, red, gold, brown, orange, peach hot pink, white and purple all make a beautiful well-balanced combination with teal.

Orange will also look great with different shades of yellow and red for your outdoor fall wedding. Consider using different shades of orange as there is a wide range of colors on the orange color spectrum such as burnt orange, apricot, coral, peach, melon, pumpkin, carrot, amber, marigold, and many more!

Chocolate brown is another popular color that is used at fall weddings. A chocolate brown, orange, terracotta, and red combination is a perfect choice for a warm and comfy November wedding.

How Do I Pick My November Wedding Color Combinations?

You can start building your November wedding palette by choosing a base color that will appear the most throughout your wedding. If you want your wedding to match up with the traditional colors of the fall season, then consider using colors like orange, brown, yellow, and red.

Next, you should pick colors that you love and that will complement your base color. These colors should accent your base color. Also, note that a wedding color palette typically has three to five colors that go well altogether. 

When choosing your wedding palette, it is best to also consider your wedding venue. This way, you can choose wedding colors that will complement your wedding venue’s details as some venues may already come decorated.

If your wedding venue does not come with any decorations and is totally blank, then it should be easier to choose any colors you want as you won’t have to worry about matching your wedding colors with those of the venue. 

How Do I Avoid Choosing the Wrong Wedding Colors?

Don’t worry about not getting your wedding color palette right the first time. The reality is that there is no wrong or right combination. Every fall wedding is different and has its own unique set of color combinations as every couple has different tastes.

That being said, don’t be afraid to play around with different colors. You will probably match and combine different colors a bunch of times until you’re happy with your wedding colors.

However, keep the November wedding colors in mind if you want your wedding colors to match the fall season. You don’t have to use all the traditional fall colors for your wedding, but consider using a few to create a cozy, autumnal vibe. If you’re still not sure which colors to combine, feel free to try out some of the colors and combinations that we mentioned in this post or use them as a starting place to inspire you.
