I was doing some research on new color palettes for fall stationery and really like these color combinations.
From: Martha Stewart Weddings
I love this idea for fall events. This can be used for a flower girl or a table centerpiece in lieu of bouquets.
As a fitting nod to the season, substitute dried leaves for petals in your flower girl’s basket. If fall foliage isn’t abundant when you wed, you can order pressed leaves online (from drynature.com). We lined this pint-size basket with a cotton fabric. Using scissors, cut a large round of fabric and a slit on opposite sides to accommodate handles, then place in basket. Wrap silk ribbon around, and tie in a bow.

I am a sucker for cute baking supplies so I loved this post from The Inspired Bride.
The Pantone Fashion Color Report of Fall 2009 is out and of course you’re going to want to incorporate these colors in your wedding this Fall. The 2009 fall color palette is more unique and thoughtful than the typical autumn hues of past years. These colors are sure to be the 2009 Wedding Trends for Fall.
First one is American Beauty (Pantone 19-1759). This is a natural choice during uncertain times. Patriotic American Beauty is a wonderfully balanced true red and speaks to the need for cohesiveness. It is perfect for all skin tones and most certainly a feel-good color.
PROMINENT COLORS are Translucent Reds, Purples and Magentas with some hints of Deep Crimsons and Resonant Purples, Creams and Dusty Mustards, Cool Ocean Blues, Turquoise and Greens with hints of Black.
Another 2009 Wedding Trend for Fall is Purple Heart (Pantone 18-3520) which connotes a sense of refinement and sensuality, adding an air of creativity and excitement to the top 10 color palette, especially when paired with American Beauty.
PROMINENT COLORS to incorporate into your wedding are lush saturated shades paired with earthy neutrals like Merlot and Deep Plum with Raven and Gilt.
Another 2009 Wedding Trend for Fall is a warmer and more subdued Honey Yellow (Pantone 16-1143) which carries the 2009 color of the year, PANTONE 14-0848 Mimosa, through to fall and winter with its warm and golden tones. Pairing Honey Yellow with Purple Heart, will surely add a surprising flair to your fall wedding colors. Or, if you want, for a more typical fall combination, group Honey Yellow with Burnt Sienna and Iron together.
PROMINENT COLORS are Golden Topaz, Warm Onyx, Smoky Quartz, Jade, Garnet and Cool Carnelian with the MOST IMPORTANT COLOR being Smoky Quartz which adds warmth to highlight the other colors in your fall wedding.
Use Creme Brulee, a grayed-down beige, and Nomad, which bridges the gap between beige and light gray and also speaks to the need for timeless neutrals. All three classics can stand alone or serve as anchors when paired with other colors in your 2009 Fall Wedding.
PROMINENT COLORS are Black with pop colors like White, Fuchsia, Lilac and Grape tones of Purple, Mint Green, Burnt Orange and Electric Blue
MOST IMPORTANT COLOR is Black which is the perfect background for pops of vibrant and warm color and is eminently wearable and simultaneously edgy and polished for a 2009 fall wedding.
The 2009 Wedding Trend for Fall would not be complete without a seasonal favorite like Burnt Sienna (Pantone 17-1544) which is a deepened and earthy shade of orange, reminiscent of an autumn sunset. Pair this warm and versatile hue with Nomad and Rapture Rose for a different twist.
The PROMINENT COLORS are classic textured Black and Moonlight, accented by smoky and cool Celadon Green and a cold Brick Red. Perfect colors for the upcoming 2009 Fall wedding season.
My favorite, adding spark to the fall wedding palette, Rapture Rose (Pantone 17-1929). It artfully captures the vibrancy of fuchsia and the softness of pink. The addition of Rapture Rose will enliven the more traditionally subdued wedding fall hues. Remember to look for it in cosmetics as well as bridal clothing and accessories.
Another upcoming 2009 Fall Wedding trend, like the olive in a martini, Warm Olive (Pantone 15-0646) which is a rich yellow-green and adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the fall wedding. When combined with other colors, this tangy and intriguing hue makes all other colors come alive.
I love cupcakes. Who doesn’t? This is a great article about wedding cupcake favors, for which we have some really cute cupcake favor boxes!
You don’t always have to have a cake at a wedding. Now a days, brides are using decorative cupcakes in place of a cake. They are cost effective, loved by all, there is no cake cutting, and easy to disperse. The best part about cupcakes is the decorating. There are so many ways one cupcake can be created. Besides the beauty and the uniqueness of a cupcake, you have plates and cake stands that can also add to the elegance of how the cupcakes are displayed.
