Fall themed wedding: Bridesmaid dress color?

Hi there! I'm doing a fall/autumn theme for my wedding (it's next Oct.) but I'm not sure what color to use for my Bridesmaid dresses that isn't brown...I was thinking about an eggplant color but FH isn't a fan...any other ideas? What do you think about like...copper?

Try looking at Jim Hjelm, the Occasions BM collection. They have a rich cinnamon/persimmon color that's definitely Fall-ish.

Here's an example:

Re: Fall themed wedding: Bridesmaid dress color?

I'm also doing a fall theme, but I think I'm going to have each bridesmaid wear a different fall color - as long as the dress I choose comes in more than two colors! I was thinking of champagne, cranberry, orange, chocolate, maybe a golden yellow - colors of leaves!

Wow! This is exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you so much. I love the Bill Levkoff Cinnamon. I'm deciding between that and the Eggplant. All are beautiful though! Thanks!!

Re: Fall themed wedding: Bridesmaid dress color?

I love this idea, it's what I'd wanted to do, but fell in love with a color that didn't fit the scheme.
I was going to do jewel tones, sapphire, ruby, emerald, etc.
go with Alfred Angelo, all his dresses come in like 40 different colors! And they're reasonably priced!

Re: Fall themed wedding: Bridesmaid dress color?

We were going back and forth between a deep red almost wine and chocolate brown. My girls and I ended up choosing the chocolate brown and the flowers will be colorful with the warm colors of the season.
