A Twist on a Fall Wedding Color Palette

October 12, 2007 | editorial team

I just love how wedding inspiration can come from anywhere and everywhere! I was reading my October issue of Vogue and fell completely in love with the color palette of this Christian Lacroix Haute Couture draped-chiffon dress. (Above- top center image) Its eclectic mixture of plum, sapphire, forest green and gold is a fantastic twist on the traditional fall color palette of orange, red, yellow and green. The rich jewel tones create a lush, luxurious and decadent feel perfect for warming up a room and making your guests feel like royalty. So pretty!
