Complement the fall season with the best November color palettes on your to-do list.

November marks the end of the fall or autumn season. Autumn hues are some of our favorites, so it’s no wonder we’re crazy about these fall wedding color palettes for November! Planning a wedding for the month of November allows you to take advantage of the colorful leaves as a backdrop for warm, earthy tones. Discovering the perfect color scheme for November weddings that harmonizes with the autumnal ambiance can prove to be quite a task.

Inspired by changing leaves, seasonal flowers, and fruits and veggies just waiting to be harvested, these November wedding colors come straight from nature to decorate your fall wedding. Let's take a look at some of the best ideas for November wedding colors to give your big day an autumnal feel.

What are the Most Popular Colors For November Wedding?

Yellow is the most popular November wedding color. Tans, gold, browns, teal, and other warm colors go well with November weddings but when combined with gray, makes create a pleasing balance of warm and cool tones.

You can't tell me that fall isn't the ideal season to say “I do” to someone.

A wedding in the fall provides one of the most magnificent settings a bride and groom can imagine. If you choose fall wedding colors, not only will your photos turn out beautifully, but you'll also feel like you have Mother Nature's blessing. The season of autumn is one of transition, expansion, and rebirth. The vibrant leaves around the ceremony are evidence of this.

Mustard Yellow + Merlot

The ideal color scheme to bring the fall season to life on your special day is one that features the rich red tones of merlot and mustard yellow. A wedding in November with these colors is a unique take on tradition. It has the perfect amount of brightness, which is balanced with the perfect amount of darkness, and because the tones are so warm, it immediately makes you think of fall.

Yellow is a symbol of intelligence, laughter, and adventure, and it is won by brides with an outgoing personality, so why not be the center of attention by wearing a yellow wedding dress?

Mustard + Greenery

The warm, earthy color mustard yellow is currently a trendy choice and a wonderful alternative for your November wedding colors. It's not one of the traditional color schemes for weddings, but it may make your wedding unique and leave an impression on your guests. It's lovely, and the color goes wonderfully well with greenery.

If you want to add elegance and warmth to your November wedding celebration, think about combining it with brown, green, and teal blue. To create a more subdued look, pair mustard with slate gray.

Sea Glass+ Terracotta

Sea colors are a terrific way to bring some color to a fall wedding while still preserving the classic feel that neutrals offer. The sea glass is a special shade that has the capacity to calm and uplift you on a deep level.

Terracotta is the supporting color, and when combined with the sea glass, it creates a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. These colors are ideal for small weddings, so if you have an outdoor wedding in November, use them!

Burgundy + Blush

A classic, romantic November wedding color palette that is making a significant return is blush and burgundy. We are excited about this delicate, elegant, and romantic color scheme for a wedding, which offers countless alternatives for flowers and other decorations.

The fall season is great for burgundy and blush since they can be used with either cool or warm tones, as you can see in the inspiration boards below.

Blush is the lightest shade of pink, which is a popular color family. We all know and love the wedding color blush pink. It is a perfect color for weddings not only because it is easy to match, but also because of the charm it adds to your wedding.

Dusty Rose + Dusty Blue 

A fall wedding season wouldn't be complete, in my opinion, without this color of dusty blue. Such a classic, cool-toned color scheme for a November wedding. But with such elegance, dusty rose, its warmer sibling, isn't far behind in the popularity race. Why not blend the two colors together, then?

This palette of dusty blue and dusty rose colors mixes refinement with a touch of romanticism, and these colors are much more fascinating and dreamy. The combination of a traditional and modern approach is like having the best of both worlds.

Common November Wedding Colors FAQs

Is November a good month for weddings?

The short answer is yes. While the fall is the most popular season for weddings, November is one of the least popular months to marry compared to October weddings, making it a less expensive month for weddings.

Is November too late for a fall wedding?

No. Fall is a season to welcome change, celebrate the harvest, and use a more vivid color scheme. A wedding in late September through November is ideal because of the charm of fall, and this results in some of the best wedding pictures imaginable.

What should I consider when choosing November wedding colors?

Select a base color that will appear the most frequently throughout your wedding to serve as the foundation for your November color scheme. Next, pick colors that complement your main color and that you love. It is advisable to take your wedding venue into account when choosing your fall wedding color scheme. This will allow you to select wedding colors that will go well with the décor at your wedding venue.

Can I use bright or pastel colors for a November wedding?

Yes, you can definitely use bright or pastel colors for a November wedding. Just make sure to pair them with darker, more autumnal colors to balance them out.

How many colors should I use for my wedding color palette?

Wedding color palettes with more than four colors tend to look busy and disorganized. Having too many colors can make it difficult to balance the wedding theme elements such as dresses, decor and cake.

Conclusion

Remember, when selecting the perfect November wedding colors, don't limit yourself to the traditional hues found in nature such as vibrant reds, yellows and oranges. A fall wedding theme can be gracefully incorporated by using a variety of stunning jewel tones, rich earthy shades and bold dramatic colors to make it a true November wedding.
