How would you incorporate brown, blue and red into an October wedding?

I was thinking Espresso colored dresses, Red flowers and Blue accents... Am I crazy?? I'd love feedback because I need to decide on my colors soon*


Would you recommend something different??

How would you incorporate brown, blue and red into an October wedding?
I think the brown and blue are stunning together but it will be difficult to add in red. For stationary, what about using the brown and blue as your primary colours with just a little red heart in one corner? (picture espresso or chocolate brown and pale blue) You could do the same kind of scheme with your decorations - brown and blue with just a tiny bit of red. Then I think the dress colours you've chosen will look gorgeous - especially if you're in white/off white and carrying red flowers.
Reply:It sounds beautiful! Are you thinking dark red flowers? You could do dark red roses with small blue flowers in the bouquets...Or blue ribbon wrapped around the bouquet, holding the stems together
Reply:your idea is great, but red and blue dont look so great when together. you can can have the dresses brown but cut the blue out and have silver accents instead and have them carry red flowers.


here are the colours that go well together for fall time.





red/brown/silver


black/brown/red


silver/black/red


gold/red/black


blue/black/silver





try to stay away from mixing blue and red, silver and gold, orange and red

Reply:That does sound good and they are autumn colors.As favors you could do m%26amp;ms in the colors you chose. thats what im doing.
Reply:Leaves! They have garland that has just leaves it would be beautiful....Espresso dress with a blue ribbon look amazing..That is what I wanted to do if we got married in the fall...ended up being spring...anyways Red flowers are good I am just not sure I would go with roses...unless it is red with a trim (spray paint tips silver) or glitter spray. The red may just need to be toned down a bit.
Reply:Love the espresso dresses and red flowers, but do you have to use blue? That just goes yuck in my mind. Could you use an off white or pale yellow for the accents?
Reply:You could do a fall theme with the red and brown. Using leaves and harvest corn. I've seen some harvest corn with a really dark blue (almost black).


If you really have your heart set on a blue accent you could use the idea I did at my wedding. My husband and I wanted to honor his grandfather (his mom's side) and his grandmother (his dad's side) as they died before we were married. I asked the florist to place 2 white carnations, that could be removed, in my bouquet. During the service we removed the flowers and placed them on the alter in memory. You could do this and use your blue.
Reply:I'm not sure of the blue. The espresso and red would complement eachother great...try a dark pink, or burnt orange
Reply:I'm not sure about the adding the blue. I would go with either red and brown and blue and brown then add a third color if you feel its necesary like brown red and accents of orange or blue brown with touches of bright green. Hope that helps
Reply:I like the brown and the red, I would possibly throw in orange , or pink
