Quick Palette: Gentle Fall (Mauve, Lavender, Gold)

If you're getting married in the fall in Seattle, you have the benefit of good weather and beautiful autumn scenery.  Luckily, you also have a wide range of color themes from which to choose.  While most people typically think deep reds, oranges, and yellows for autumn weddings, you may want to consider something a little softer.  This palette takes a different approach to a fall palette, and the result is a romantic, feminine combination.  Use lavender, purple and mauve as the primary colors and add in antique gold details.  Continue the theme by choosing a wedding dress with lace accents in a subtler shade of mauve or gold.
