    I love Burgundy with pink and white! It's the perfect color to crate that "pop" effect that you're talking about! What shade of pink are you thinking?

    I'm not 100% sure yet, but I want a brighter pink than blush without being too overbearing in comparison with the burgundy. I want it to complement, not steal the show!

    Orange can sometimes be a tough color to pull off/look good in. So my bridesmaids and I chose burgundy. Had I known it would be so popular when we choose it, I may have gone with plum or eggplant. But I do love the color.

    It's such a perfect color! We have picked our colors, which are a rosè pink and deep navy, with a touch of the burgundy throughout the decor!

    Burgundy will always be a beautiful color to me, but I'm not so big on orange. Now, if it was burnt orange or a red orange I love that but regular orange no.

    Burgundy here too! I feel like it's just one of those colors that works perfectly for fall weddings. Pairing with navy, cream, and either mauve or blush accents plus lots of greenery!

    Definitely burgundy. I'm doing burgundy and peach for my colors. Super excited. I don't like orange too much.
