            Plum is another rich, bold color similar to marsala. Named after the fruit, the color is a deep purple with brownish-grey undertones. Pairing it with grey, a more neutral color, brings out those color undertones further and makes for a dynamic color combination.

A plum colored tie paired with a grey suit on the groomsmen makes for a smart look, as the plum acts as an elegant accent on the traditional sophistication of the grey. Plum on the bridesmaids is a very attractive choice as well, as the darker color often has a slimming effect and the purple hue is traditionally associated with royalty.

Olive & Black

Olive is a darker green color with yellowish undertones also named after a fruit. While running the risk of evoking a springtime feel if paired with a lighter color, when paired with black it offers a rich contrast that fits with the darker colors winter encourages.

Since green isn’t the most attractive color for flowers, choosing a white flower that doesn’t take attention away from the greenery coming from the leaves and stems is a great choice. Olive bridesmaid dresses paired with traditional black tuxedos makes for a classic, stunning choice sure to make an impression on your guests.
