🍁A Bold and Elegant Combination🍂
The autumn season brings with it a symphony of rich, warm colours that evoke a sense of coziness and elegance. One particularly striking colour palette for autumn weddings and events is the combination of navy blue and orange. This duo is not only visually captivating but also deeply symbolic, blending the calm stability of navy blue with the vibrant energy of orange. Let’s explore how this dynamic autumn colour scheme can be beautifully implemented in an autumn setting.
Navy Blue and Orange Colour Combo 🍁
Navy Blue: This deep, classic hue exudes sophistication and timelessness. Navy blue is versatile and can serve as both a dominant colour and a complementary shade. It provides a strong, neutral base that balances the intensity of brighter colours. In an autumn palette, navy blue reflects the twilight skies and the cool, crisp air, bringing a sense of calm and refinement to the overall aesthetic.🍁
Orange: Symbolizing warmth, enthusiasm, and joy, orange is the quintessential autumn colour. It captures the essence of fall foliage, pumpkins, and harvest festivals. Orange adds a burst of energy and liveliness to the palette, creating striking contrasts and focal points that draw the eye and evoke the vibrant spirit of the season. 🌳🍂
Complementary Hues 🍃
Maroon: This rich, deep red adds a layer of warmth and sophistication to the palette. It complements both navy blue and orange, enhancing the overall richness of the colour scheme. Maroon is perfect for accents and details, adding depth and a touch of luxury.🍁
Golden Yellow: This colour brings a bright and cheerful note to the palette. It echoes the golden hues of autumn leaves and the warm glow of autumn sunsets. Golden yellow can be used in small doses to add highlights and create a sense of balance and harmony within the colour scheme.
Implementing the Colour Scheme 🦋
Attire: For a wedding, the groom and groomsmen can don navy blue suits, complemented by burnt orange boutonnieres and ties. Bridesmaids can wear navy blue dresses with orange sashes or accessories, while the bride can incorporate orange flowers in her bouquet for a pop of colour. 🍃🍁
Décor: Navy blue tablecloths paired with orange napkins and centerpieces create a stunning visual contrast. Incorporate maroon and golden yellow flowers into the arrangements for added depth and warmth. Copper or gold accents in tableware and decorations can enhance the luxurious feel of the setting. 🍁
Floral Arrangements: A bouquet featuring a mix of orange roses, maroon dahlias, and golden yellow chrysanthemums can create a rich, autumnal feel. Incorporating navy blue ribbons or accents ties the whole arrangement together seamlessly.🌻🌺
Details and Accessories: Small touches like navy blue and orange stationery, maroon and golden yellow candles, and copper lanterns can elevate the ambiance. These details, while subtle, contribute significantly to the cohesiveness and elegance of the event. 🌳🍂
Food and Beverages: Consider incorporating the colour scheme into the menu. A pumpkin pie with a golden crust, orange-infused cocktails, and navy blue napkins can create a cohesive dining experience. Displaying pumpkins and seasonal gourds in the décor ties the theme together beautifully. ✨🔮
The navy blue and orange colour palette for autumn is a perfect blend of sophistication and vibrancy. It captures the essence of the season, combining the calm, stable qualities of navy blue with the energetic and warm hues of orange. This palette, enhanced by complementary shades of maroon and golden yellow, creates a rich, inviting atmosphere that is both elegant and dynamic. Whether for a wedding or any autumn event, this colour scheme promises to create a memorable and visually stunning experience. 🌳🍂🌞🌙
Hi
I am in the middle of a colour dilemma and was wondering if anyone out there could offer any advice or ideas! I have been thinking about having a dark blue colour scheme for our early November wedding next year. I’ve found this colour palette I really fallen into it. However, I worry if it will be too dark and too bold. Is anyone having a dark blue and orange colour scheme?
If so what other colours are you having and how are you using it in your wedding reception, wedding table decorations,flowers etc? Similarly, anyone having a dark blue wedding I’d be happy to hear from you too!
Thanks X
I am having a navy colour scheme but for a winter wedding. I am combining it with Gold ,Silver and off white.
For an autumn wedding, i think navy blue and orange or navy and gold would look lovely together.
We are having an od combination but it does seem to work. We are having baby blue, light pink ,chocolate brown and a rasberry colour! xx
We are having navy as our colour scheme and we get married October.
Bridesmaids are in Navy blue one shoulder floor length dresses from Debenhams ,will all carry bouquest made up of pale blue hydrangeas including me. The guys will either be wearing grey or navy suits so it will all mix in nicely ( hopefully 🙂 )
For our wedding reception cach table centre is a gold candelabra decorated with the same hydrangeas. I think it cheap to use flowers in season. And chair cover will be off white with nave blue sash.
I say go for it if you like it I don’t think it matters whether its summer or winter its what you like ! My friend is getting married in winter and wants hot pink and bright green! xx
I think its a gorgeous colour for that time of year, I am also having plum/purple colour at my wedding, all different shades of purple & lilac.
Love the colour.

I think our wedding colour schecme a bit unusual! We’re Royal blue and dark purple.
My dress is light gold “Eden” by Jenny Packham and bridesmaids are wearing mix shades of gold dresses,flowers i’m not sure about, leaving them up to my florist. xx
Ok I’m an October bride next year! Our colour scheme is Brown, burnt orange and maybe some plum and shades of dark purple in there aswell. We want our wedding looks very autumnal colours.
HiI’m having teal and chocolate bown xx
We’re going chocolate brown and raspberry pink! Hints of deep pink in the flowers, hot lips orchids, and maybe some chocolate colour ribbons to tie them!
Chocolate brown and burnt orange for us.
Hi Emily,
Me too i’m going for choc brown, orange and ivory with a small amount of red autumn leaves. doing the whole autumn leaves thing, hope it all looks nice together!
We’re having cream,champagne and gold. I’m not sure whether to go for a gold or champagne dress. I really like the dress by Sabina Motasem wedding dress but there is no colour that i wanted. Do you have any ideas?
And for flowers will be cream with added gold bows to tie it all together…but my table decs are just going to be cream with other gold accents such as favour boxes etc.
All colours sound lovely, think we are going for orange and chocolate brown, maybe even chocolate orange cake.
We are getting married on Halloween day, we want to mix pumpkins and flowers. Does anyone know of any brown flowers or deep dark orange????
I’m getting so excited reading everyones colours. Mine is Burgundy, Champagne ,gold and Ivory. For our flowers are going to be quite autumny – thinking of mainly deep red roses with some orangey ones and maybe even some berries and having some chocolate cake with oranges. 🙂
We’re going for midnight blue and burnt orange…I think for an Autumn wedding, all these wonderful, rich colours we’re all coming up with will be beautiful!
My daughter is getting married next september at a winery , they are doing burnt orange(Terra Cotta) and navy blue tuxes. She wants dark colored sunflowers with blue accents in all the flowers. table cloths will be a champagne color, white was to stark I love the colors together and the leaves will be turning by then. Have fun with it, its your day
