We beg you to reconsider your notion of traditional fall wedding hues. The tones you will find here—orange, peach, minty blue and olive—feel as crisp and refreshing as an autumn evening. The Woman's Club of Portsmouth provided an elegant backdrop for our color scheme, and gowns from Milk & Honey Bride, a boutique catering to brides of all shapes and sizes, rounded out an unexpected seasonal showcase that you will surely appreciate. Look here for autumnal inspiration.
