Falling for Fall: Orange or Burgundy?

Is burgundy one of your go-to fall colors or do you prefer the seasonal brightness of orange? Which color palette are you falling for?

    Burgundy is one of my favorite colors and will absolutely be incorporated into our wedding. Orange not so much for me.

    Burgundy is beginning to be a bit overused, it's very common in color choices I've seen lately! Orange is bold (and can look not so cute if it's too bright) but the muted orange is lovely!

    Burgundy is one of our colors along with navy and cream, so there will be tons of burgundy flowers.

    Burgundy. I have never liked and will never like the color orange. Reminds me of my home towns failure of a team the Browns lol

    I think that burgundy is a popular fall wedding color because it is a very cute color and who doesn't love that purple-y red hue? However, i LOVE orange. My high school colors were orange and teal, so orange just reminds me of home. Its a very happy color and any bride ready to rock orange is so unique i love it!

    Burgundy. I love pumpkins and darker shades of orange but next to my skintone all oranges (but the bright ones in particular) make me look jaundiced. Golds are good, and almost red oranges - like russets - work well but not others.

    I’m using burgundy in my wedding! It’s beautiful and goes well with various colors. A nice burnt orange would be beautiful though too. Wine Red/ Marsala

    Burgundy all the way!! I don't want there to be too much, I want a pop of color amongst white and pink without it being too dark.
