ShareThisQ: We're having a fall wedding but want to avoid an orange and red color combo. What are some other options that still speak of the season? A: You can choose from a variety of fall-inspired colors that go beyond oranges and reds. One great color combo option: brown and sage green. Find brown bridesmaid dresses with green sashes; carry a bouquet made up of textured green blooms such as green Kermit and spider mums; and send out letterpressed invites with soft sage accents. Another color combo idea is to pair eggplant with ivory. Carry purple tulips, top your tables with ivory table runners and purple linens, and order a white buttercream cake adorned with purple sugar flowers. For a formal wedding, skip the deeper hues and go for a gold and ivory color palette. Think ivory-embroidered linens topped with gilded glasses, chargers, and candlelit centerpieces.(Carley Roney, co-founder and editor in chief of The Knot, the nation's leading wedding resource, advises millions of brides on modern wedding etiquette at www.theknot.com.)(Distributed by Scripps Howard News Service, http://www.scrippsnews.com)
