Okay, brides-to-be, I fully realize it’s too late for you to change your whole color scheme if you’re getting married this month. But for those brides who are starting your planning a bit early, we’ve selected the absolutely best color for a November wedding. Which color?
The answer is chocolate brown. It’s the perfect compliment to everything this time of year, and there are limitless ways to feature it as a primary color for your wedding and a splendid accent.
Bride’s Maids & Wedding Dresses
These dresses are fantastic, because they showcase how versatile a chocolate brown color is when it comes to wedding wear. It works both as a featured color with complimentary accents, or it’s the perfect accent. Add a chocolate brown belt for subtle richness, or tone down that richness with a belt in a complementary color. Oh, and we love the bearded wheat bouquet.
It’s incredibly flattering
In this photo you see how elegant the chocolate brown looks on women of all complexions and on all body types. It’s a forgiving tone that also brings out the warmth and natural blush of your beautiful bride’s maids.
Simple and elegant
Simply elegant, chocolate brown works well with pale pinks, creams and winter white.
For him
Don’t leave the groom out. A solid chocolate brown tie is the perfect compliment to every shade of grey, especially in a textured wool.
Here comes the bride
And how could we forget the bride? Varying shades of chocolate brown make this gown a show stopper. You’ll notice how beautifully it works with a black and white tux, pink flower petals and the lush landscape.
Decor
Tiffany Blue and brown isn’t a new color combination, but it’s a great example of how brighter colors can add a pop of excitement to the soothing chocolate and browns in this rustic tablescape.
Rich and warm
If you want to go more natural, this leather table runner is stunning, providing a rich warmth to the sheer linen tablecloth.
Organic
Keep the decor organic feeling, with crisp white napkins, plateware paired with charming wood and stone features.
Cake
Unfrosted chocolate cake is the most direct way to bring the color to your wedding cake. And it’s perfect. You don’t need chocolate buttercream, brown fondant or anything over the top. It is simple and minimalistic.
Flowers
This. This is so perfect. Cream colored roses, burlap and accents of moss and frosted blue work perfectly with these pinecone flowers. The fluffy cotton just sends us over the edge.
Simple and easy
If the pinecone flowers aren’t your thing, chocolate hydrangea is another great floral option.
