Black, Burgundy & Bare Branches: Halloween Wedding Color Palettes That Inspire
Bold and elegant color combinations that capture the mysterious and romantic spirit of the season.
Halloween weddings often bring to mind spooky costumes and jack-o’-lanterns, but it’s so much more than that. When done right, the colors of fall and the mystique of the season come together to create a wedding palette that’s both dramatic and deeply romantic.
If you’re dreaming of a Halloween wedding that feels sophisticated, here are some color ideas to inspire your décor, bridal party attire, and everything in between.
🖤 Moody Black: The Ultimate Classic
Black isn’t just for Halloween costumes—it’s a powerful, timeless choice that adds drama and depth.
Use black linens, invitations, or bridesmaid dresses to set a bold tone
Contrast with metallic accents like gold, copper, or silver for a luxe feel
Pair black with soft neutrals or ivory to keep the palette balanced and elegant
🍷 Deep Burgundy & Wine Tones
Burgundy is the quintessential fall color, rich and warm like mulled wine.
Incorporate deep reds in floral arrangements, table settings, or velvet ribbons
Pair with shades of blush or dusty rose for contrast and softness
Burgundy bridesmaid dresses are a seasonal favorite that complements the autumn landscape beautifully
🌿 Bare Branches & Earthy Greens
Bring in nature’s quieter side with bare branches and muted greens.
Use branches as centerpiece elements or ceremony décor to add texture and a touch of mystery
Incorporate olive, sage, or eucalyptus greenery to soften the look
This natural element pairs beautifully with candlelight and rustic wood accents
Our venue’s wooded surroundings offer endless inspiration for incorporating these organic touches.
🍂 Warm Neutrals with a Twist
Think creams, taupes, and soft grays warmed up with seasonal accents.
These shades provide a perfect canvas for your bolder colors to pop
Add in touches of burnt orange, mustard, or deep plum for a subtle Halloween nod
Neutrals keep the overall look timeless while still feeling seasonal and unique
