We’re nearing the end of a blistering summer (🙌🏾) and fall is around the corner. For me, that means blissful, lazy anticipation of all my favorite fall things; crisp sweater weather, Publix pumpkin pies, and scary movie marathons that involve more screaming from me than the actors (really, you’re going to STAY in the possessed house?!).
For you, the imminent transition to fall probably means a mad scramble to get wedding ready—namely, coming up with trendy, seasonal décor for all your parties and events.
Yes, your decorating options are endless. And yes, Pinterest choice paralysis is real. Which is why I’m here to help you off your hamster wheel of indecision using the 5 trending colors for this fall: Lava Falls, Samoan Sun, Orange Tiger, Rose Violet, and Amazon.
Be it your mehndi or sangeet, ceremony or reception, bridal shower or bachelorette party, these colors are versatile enough to achieve whatever ambience you’re going for, from lively and energetic to serene and relaxed.
Ready to get inspired? Here are some beautiful setups using this fall’s trending colors.
Lava Falls
In the age of “every color is a wedding color!”, traditional styles are the ones that stand out the most. And what’s more traditional to a South Asian wedding than the color red? Whether your autumn backdrop is lush greenery or orange leaves, this orange-red hue is an impressive choice for any wedding aesthetic.

Samoan Sun
Samoan Sun’s saturated shade of yellow, a color that “enlightens and illuminates,” is another classic choice for an Indian wedding event. Add your own modern, seasonal twist just like these couples did.

Orange Tiger
A seasonal favorite, this year’s fall orange is the traditional shade’s electric, whimsical cousin. Give it an unexpected spotlight at your wedding by skipping it as your sangeet or mehndi color, and use it for your ceremony or reception instead.

Rose Violet
Barbiecore, meet your maker. Rose violet is the foundation for this insanely popular color, fashion, and décor trend. Typically a color of choice for South Asian bridal wear, I’m excited to see how couples bring it to life in their wedding decorations.
Rich pink flowers are an impressive way to Barbiecore your ceremony.

Amazon
Amazon is lush, fertile and green. From florals to drapery to verdant tablescapes, try making this color the star of the show rather than the supporting character. Done right, it’ll take your breath away.
Rustic and elegant, this tall centerpiece surrounded by candles and gold accents would look incredible at a fall reception.

So. Much. Green. 😍
