Fall Wedding Color Pairings That Just Work

Vibe: Moody romance with vintage softness. Black Cherry brings all the depth. Cottage Rose lightens it up with a warm, faded blush. Together, they create that slow, candlelit, velvet kind of vibe.

DIY Ideas

• Paint taper candle holders in Black Cherry and scatter them across long tables
• Add Cottage Rose accents to menus or name cards
• Stencil table numbers onto wood in a mix of both tones
• Use dried flowers in painted bud vases for a mix of drama and softness

Why It Works
This palette balances bold and delicate. It feels cozy and intentional, never stuffy.

Vibe: Forest-chic with a little edge. Fern Leaf feels grounded, like walking through the woods in late October. Wild Truffle adds a cool, modern touch that keeps it from going full rustic.

DIY Ideas

• Paint wooden signage with textured brushstrokes in both colors
• Use Wild Truffle on vases or vessels to make florals pop
• Stamp Fern Leaf designs onto muslin runners or napkins
• Layer painted wood blocks as centerpiece risers

Why It Works
These tones love natural materials. Think linen, stone, wood, and handmade textures that don’t need to be perfect to look amazing.

Vibe: Last golden moments of summer meeting fall on the Italian coast. This pairing feels like the sun dipping lower in the sky but still warm enough to sit outside with a glass of something cold. Lemonade is a soft, buttery yellow that catches the glow of those last summer days. Blue Echo is a dusty, calm blue like the sea after the crowds have gone home and the air cools just enough to pull on a light sweater.

DIY Ideas

• Paint ceramic tiles as escort cards or table numbers
• Use Blue Echo on wine bottles for makeshift vases
• Create watercolor-style signage blending both colors for a soft, natural look
• Add citrus-inspired floral arrangements with hints of blue ribbons or fabric

Why It Works
It is the perfect bridge between seasons. The warm yellow keeps things sunny and joyful while the muted blue cools everything down into cozy fall vibes. Plus, it feels like a little Italian getaway no matter where you are.

Vibe: Cozy desert with texture everywhere. Red Clay has that deep sunbaked terracotta look. Pueblo deepens it with a more grounded, moody tone. Together, they feel warm, layered, and full of texture.

DIY Ideas

• Paint terracotta pots in blocks of each color for centerpieces
• Create textured signs using spackle and matte paint
• Layer painted plywood shapes behind your altar or sweetheart table
• Use Red Clay on pillar candles for custom color touches

Why It Works
It’s earthy and stylish without trying too hard. Everything looks handmade in a good way.

The Perfect Pair

Your color palette should feel like the perfect pairing, just like you and your partner. It should look amazing on your centerpieces, your invitations, and everything in between. Pick colors that speak to who you are, then let them show up everywhere. Paint is affordable. The vibe you create? Totally priceless.

Happy Crafting!
