From Bouquets of Love to Hearts Ablaze: 12 Amazing Unity Sand Color Palettes for Fall

An autumn wedding can be a delightful study in contrasts. Dark pink bridesmaids’ dresses matched with jet black groomsmen’s tuxes…bright orange flower arrangements mixed with apple green party favors on the reception tables. Chances are, if you are an autumn bride, you’ll want to take full advantage of the vast and vibrant colors of the season in every aspect of your wedding planning. That includes your unity sand ceremony, where you can incorporate a blend of delicious fall colors in your unity sand color palette.

These unity sand ceremony palettes are appropriate for sand ceremonies with anywhere from three to six participants. Rather than simply having the bride and the groom participate, by incorporating other members of your wedding party into the ceremony, you create a sense of family togetherness, helping family members to bond in a refreshing way.

With the signature style she has become known for, innovative designer Sharon Vaz has amassed a remarkable collection of unity sand color palettes perfect for fall. You’ll find that these color palettes rely heavily on orange and pink because of the widespread availability of seasonal flowers in these colors, along with the fact that these colors represent the startlingly beautiful changes that occur in nature during autumn.

Also, bright orange and hot pink are among the top colors for 2010 weddings, according to industry trend-watchers. It’s possible to adapt the following palettes for more participants by adding neutral sand colors such as black, chocolate brown, light brown, moon shadow, lavender, and white.
