Hi -
I was in an October wedding - we wore a deep red dress from Bill Levkoff...it had a black tint to it. A perfect color for October!

This is it. My sister is a little heavy and had fair complexion with rown hair. His sister are all the same height but one is darker (olive italian skin) than the other. One has dirty blond hair , one has red and one has dark brown. They confuse me. We are taking pictures at the gazebo in Garden City.

Re: Help! I Need a color for the Brides Maids

I like mocha also.. thinking of using it myself, or even... i have considerred...
What if you have each maid get the same dress in a variety of fall colors? Just make sure no colors are doubled or clash?
I know this *might* sound cheesy, but it could look really cool if done well.
Any ideas about this?

I love Mocha too. Do you have any other ideas about flowers or themes yet? If so maybe you should consider that too. I'm an Oct bride but my girls are wearing Ivory.

My bridesmaids are wearing wine dresses- I love the color because it looks good on any complexion and with any haircolor. I also love the way it will contrast with my ivory gown.

I want a really beautiful autum colors. We are putting white candles in hurricanes with pretty colorful leaves around the base for the tables. I want to hold prado sunflowers ( sunflowers are my favorite flower). They are a pretty orange and brown color. We are both really simple. Thanks. All the ideas are great.

My favorite is cranberry/burgundy for fall. That's what I wanted but the I didn't love the burgundy shade my mfg offered so I went with wine. I absolutely love it! (My wedding is next month.) It looks sooo good next to the fall colored flowers.

I also did the Wine dresses. It is such a pretty color and like Stephanie said the color looks good on any complexion.

I work in the city so we are getting the supplies from chinatown really cheap. When we put a model together I will show everyone.

Re: Help! I Need a color for the Brides Maids

There is a new color I see around. It's like a brown/copper type of color. Hard to explain. REALLY nice for autumn. I was going to go with that color, but decided on Cranberry.
