The humidity has faded (if you’re not from the South or haven’t experienced the southern humidity, let me just say…bless your heart!) and I can finally pull out my jeans and boots again. I also love that cozy feeling of wrapping up in a blanket next to the fire pit on the patio! Why not translate that cozy feeling to your wedding invitations? One of the best ways to do that is through paper colors.
Here are 10 of my favorite fall color palettes and how they could translate to your invitations!
