I am having an Autumn wedding and I really want it to be formal. I have seen plenty of ideas fo informal weddings and I really dislike the idea of pumpkins. Any help at all would be awesome!
My response is to Joni as well. My wedding date is the same as yours and I have chosen Apple as the color. So far I have found more choices with the Apple as compared to the other "wine/burgandy" colors. For flowers for example, I am using oriental star gazers as the main flower with a rose accent. And multiple other colored flowers to bring out the star gazer lillies. That way it can help make more choices for colors for decorations etc. I hope this helps.. So far I haven't had much trouble finding things to go with Apple.
Since you don't like the idea of pumpkins, one way to get the orange fall color into the theme would be to use some orange colored daisies or lilies. Just a thought.
I am geting married 10/16 of this year. I have chosen a VERY formal Ivory gown. I was in the same situation not being able to find things to "formal up" the affair. My colors are "Ivory and Merlot" (Burgandy & Not Quite White). My solutions have been a more formal invitation (not seal and send), I have Ivory linnens with gold sashes on the chair covers, and sticking monochromatic with the flowers. I am carrying an all black magic rose boquet and my gals are carrying all Ivory rose boquets. The ivory roses look AMAZING against the deep red of the girls dresses. I have found that is is the little touches that really kick things up a notch (ie: chair covers, invitation style, and favors). I wish you all the best!!
