Spring wedding changing to a fall wedding

Could you maybe have burgundy ties and pocket squares for the groomsmen if they are having them? I think the petal dresses will look nice with burgundy. My wedding is in September, I picked the colors I wanted to pick. My colors are stormy blue, gray, ivory and silver; considering I consider my wedding more end of summer/ beginning of fall I probably didn't follow what is considered normal colors for that time of year.

My spring wedding is pink/blush and gray suits. I was all set so to incorporate fall, I was thinking the flowers might be darker or less pink. We were going to do pink rose petals around our candle but now I think it will be assorted colors including darker colors.

I think the petal pink dresses will look fine without adding a belt, I think incorporating the burgundy into the bouquets would be a much better idea, and also the centerpieces. But really, I don’t think you have to change your colors just because of the changed date. The only reason I would change my colors due to a changed date is if I needed to or wanted to change my flowers to match what was in season (budget reasons could definitely cause someone to need this for instance).

Hi there,

I'm so sorry you are going through this! However, I am loving the suggestions above. I'm certain you and your partner will have the most beautiful day!

Sending lots of love your way!

That sounds really pretty, I'm sorry you'll have to adjust the look but I bet the burgundy will slide in there seamlessly. How about adding burgundy pashminas? That can work as both a nod to the new season and as a way to bring in your darker color without changing the dresses. Another way is to think about jewelry, something chunkier and heavier can make the look feel more fall, so a burgundy or even metallic rose gold accent could look really cool.

We have a guide on 5 Ways to Make Your Wedding Color Palette Work for Any Season that might give you some more inspo (but no matter what, I firmly believe color palette does not need to match the season, it's all about what the couple wants their wedding and pics to look like)

First, I empathize and sympathize your postponed wedding. We too decided to postpone to September. I also had a spring soiree planned with French Blues, soft pinks and silver accent tones. I personally don't think you need to throw in another color because you said "I don't want to look like we threw in another color." We are not changing the wedding party attire.

We are enhancing the accessories. Changing silver tones to rose gold tones. We were using baby blue candles and now we are using deep sea blue candles. Our light pink flowers will now be magentas and mauves. The french blue will still be our guest table linen color but we are just darkening the accessory colors so we wouldn't have to rethink a whole new color palate.

Burgundy to me is a primary color so using it as an third or fourth accent color would clash in my mind. Maybe you can update candles, centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, pocket squares, flowers the FG throws, or other accessories?

I'm in the same situation. Our wedding was set for June but we just moved it to October. Our colors are dusty blue with dusty rose accent. I'm trying to decide on darker fall colors that will match the blue and rose.

I honestly think your color scheme could work without the burgundy and still be appropriate for the fall. Even just adding some darker florals will hint towards the season without looking like you adjusted your colors last minute. If you want to add burgundy, I'd suggest adding it in florals and decor (like linens) but not to worry about incorporating it into the wedding party apparel.

I don’t think you have to change your colors at all. No matter the season I am to be married my colors will be the same. No one is going to say “ omg how dare she have these colors at a fall wedding” and if they did #f*ckem. Also the blue you chose is pretty dark. Your colors will look beautiful in any season.

I think adding small details is definitely key to making this flow. Perhaps for the suits consider adding a printed burgundy pocket square, bow tie/tie, shirts with subtle burgundy polka dots or striping, printed socks, and even the shoes could be a deep brownish burgundy.

For the dresses, I wouldn't add anything to them. Stick to elevating their florals with deep burgundy and merlot. Gold jewelry with burgundy gemstones, or pins for their hair could elevate the vision even more. Just subtle changes will make it all come together!

Best wishes!

My wedding was supposed to be April 18th but we pushed it to September 12th. We did do a mini ceremony on April 4th; we didn't want our license to expire. I decided not to use any of my original decorations or wedding attire. I used my bridal shower decorations instead. Anyway my colors are wine, black, and silver, white with a hint of gold. The colors we both love even though they aren't spring colors....Good Luck

I think with the marine blue it would feel like fall without having to add the burgundy, although I think the burgundy would also look very nice with the blue and pink! I have a similar light pink that I’m doing with burgundy. Adding accent colors with the bouquets, floral hair combs to match the bouquets, ties or maybe putting some small burgundy flowers with the boutonnières and for decorations adding some touches of burgundy in the center pieces or table napkins perhaps.
