Any centerpeice ideas for a fall wedding, bridesmaid dresses are dark purple?

I'm not sure if I want to keep the colors purple throughout church and the reception hall or go with fall colors. I would like to some how connect the dark purple color of the dresses to the fall colors. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Our wedding is in September. I could use opinions on flower arrangments too..keep them purple or add some purple to the fall colors in a boquet

Mums are a traditional fall flower, and they come in yellows and oranges that are complementary (opposite side of the color wheel) from purple. They will warm up your color scheme and really pop against all of the purple you have. And it wouldn't be any problem to add some purple flowers to the bouquets. Irises would be a lovely choice because they're a complex flower and you can get purple varieties that also have yellow on the petals.
Reply:You could get hurricane vases or tall glass cylindars and put dark purple flowering branches in them. It looks really neat. I've seen it done with pink. I have also see people use Beta fish of different colors, you could find some purple ones, however then you have to find homes for them after the reception.
Reply:keep the purple but have it more of a accent than the main colour everywhere. Through in some silver as well which makes the pruple stand out more. Use dark colours like red,green and yellow through out the whole thing.
Reply:Some plants have lovely purple leaves - check with your florist. For sure, there are ivies that do, but I don't remember the names of others. I guess there are coleus.


I think your purple connection to fall colours would be dark green. I'm not meaning this as a joke, but I think eggplant are beautiful (there are different varieties, and I'm thinking of a classic type, not the Japanese one) and would be cool in a centerpiece at the reception. Just a thought...
Reply:i would ask your florist. set up an appt with your florist, b/c you need to do that anyway so they have the date reserved for your wedding.





then, be sure to take a swatch of your bridesmaids' dresses to the florist and get some ideas from them. they are the professionals and it would be hard to describe a centerpiece on here.





have fun planning and take care!
Reply:thought about blends of golds, shades of bronze, even some shades of browns. A florist or hobby lobby shop should be able to help you blending colors. I think it will look nice. Good luck
