We took inspiration from the season's runways–and our favorite travel destinations–for color palettes worth considering.
Each season's runways, must-visit travel destinations, seasonal changes, food customs and more can inspire takes on traditions and outside-the-box ideas for weddings that are as festive as they are forward-thinking. We took autumn's traditional tawny hues, jewel tones and burnished blushes and gave them a bit of a twist. Here, our favorite color schemes for your upcoming autumnal affair.

Pumpkin Spice
Take the most admittedly delicious
yet basic indulgence of the season and turn it into the most inspired
color scheme your guests have seen in a while. Extra points for brides
who serve riffs on the seasonal hot drink for dessert.

No–not
that 50 Shades of Grey. Take this a bit more literally. Soft greys and
rich charcoals topped off with a bit of silver and patinaed dove–with
touches of greyish whites–pair all too well together for a soft,
romantic and all around dreamy vibe.

The season's changing leaves, bold
red lips and rich rouge velvets inspire a palette of red in all its
tones. Pair it with oatmeal-ivories and matte golds for a look that
captures the essence of the time of year, without looking like a theme
party.

The richest tones feel right this
time of year–especially when used to elevate a more rustic setting or
offer a darker mood to a glamorous, over-the-top affair.

Fall's
muted hues are no reason to abandon color. Opt for a warm-weather
destination to inspire your color-rich palette–like the brights of
Mexico–to consistently call back to the same bold tones, and avoid your
decor looking all over the place and overwrought.

Emerald & Burnished Blush

Take spring and summer's soft pink
palettes and punctuate them with a rich, luxe emerald inspired by the
Irish countryside. Make the romantic palette more slick with gem slices,
clean lines and graphic shapes–then contrast the overall aesthetic with
wild florals and wispy, draped fabrics.

Mustard & Sky Blue

An ode to the solar eclipse,
perhaps, but designers this season were feeling all shades of sunny,
buttery and mustard-y yellows. Ochre gets a new live with bold shades of
sky blue for a palette that brings the laid-back vibes of late summer
(with a bit of polish) to the cooler months.
