It’s a great way for the couple to show their individuality and add personal touches throughout the day.

1. Verona Sunset

Inspired by beautiful Italian sunsets, this vibrant colour was voted as the Wedding Colour of The Year by Brides and Minted Weddings 2025 and is the perfect colour for an autumn wedding theme. This colour pairs well with greens, pinks and neutral tones to create the ultimate cosy vibe.

Imagine your bridesmaids are wearing stunning floor length gowns, in burnt orange, table decorations with final touches of ivy and linen, the warm glow of fairy lights as you take your first dance. Have we convinced you yet?

Terracotta, burnt orange, Verona Sunset, these are all perfect hues to mismatch textures. Elevate your bridal party’s look to suit their styles and give the effortless but elegant look without breaking the bank.

2. Mocha Mousse

Yes, this does sound like a delicious dessert, but it is actually Pantone’s ‘Colour of The Year 2025.’ The moody, neutral tone adds some sophistication and depth to a wedding colour palette and blends seamlessly with sage, blush pinks, burgundy and even black.

Brown doesn’t have to mean boring! This tone of brown is perfect for the base colour for an autumn wedding. Maybe adding it into your bouquet, with Cappuccino Roses, Peach Chrysanthemums and sprigs of Olive Foliage for an earth toned look. You could even incorporate it into your Save The Dates and invites too.

3. Sage Green

The calming influence of sage green is why it’s one of the best colours to include in your wedding colour palette. Pair together with blush pinks, neutral linen and gold to create an inviting and romantic glow to your wedding.

There’s a reason why green has been a hot trend for weddings, the versatile colour can be used across your wedding party, venue and even the cake.

Truthfully, we’re obsessed with this colour. Imagine pairing it with a rustic table setting or even using Mocha Mousse to style it with. Stunning. Green is a great way to bring elegance and style without being expensive.

From green suits, table place settings, cakes and even garters, there are tons of ways to bring sage green into your wedding theme.

burgundy coloured drinks

4. All the burgundy

Arguably, this could be the most autumnal colour of them all. The richness of burgundy adds a touch of timeless, autumn elegance and pairs beautifully with so many other colours.

Perfect for the adventurous couple who love to be bold, burgundy as your colour palette is impactful, and personally, we think looks incredible. With so many opportunities to be playful with the colour, you can bring some simple but effective styles to suit your wedding.

Choosing a colour palette can set the mood, vibe or even reflect the location of your venue. A rustic barn setting would be perfect for those deep red hues with contrasting wood effect beams and warm fairy lights.

5. Peacock Blue

Something new, something old, something borrowed, something blue. We love Peacock blue for a bold and sophisticated colour choice for the big day, and with so many couples opting for colours reflecting their personalities, Brides and Grooms are now deciding to choose chic and bold colours for their colour palette.

This tone of blue is seriously underrated when it comes to autumn wedding colours. Peacock brings something fresh to the table whilst feeling sophisticated but with flair.

Colour us obsessed. Pair it with gold or copper or even incorporate the blue with purples and champagne for a dark layered palette. The options are limitless. Peacock blue looks beautiful on loads of skin tones and will be striking in photos.

With the contrasting hues, peacock blue feels less traditional and more… unexpected and chic.

How to actually choose your colour palette and not descend into chaos

Bold and daring colours aren’t just a throw-away trend this autumn, they’re here to stay. Brides and Grooms are opting for more vibrant, bold, chic colours to be personal and expressive of themselves and stepping outside of the traditional wedding norms. It’s all about curating a colour palette that reflects you both and creates a visual story.

Creating a mini mood board of your colours is a great way to showcase your ideal vison. You can use platforms like Pinterest or Canva to execute your ideas into one place, find your dream styles, textures and fabrics. If you have multiple colours to choose from, a mood board is perfect to see if they go together or are destined to clash.

Discuss with your wedding party about who suits what colour. Different bridesmaid dresses are so in right now and are a great way to bring energy and dimension to your bridal party. One way to help you choose your colour palette could be picking a handful of colours that suit your bridesmaids. Think, champagne, burgundy and pink.
