Since both summer and autumn take place in September, the shade of blue used in an African American wedding depends on timing. Typically, summer wedding colors are lighter, so if the wedding takes place in the first couple of weeks in September, baby blue and turquoise are suitable colors. For the fall portion of the month, royal blue and darker shades work best.
Cream

If you decide to follow the rule of no white after Labor Day but want a white wedding, your September African American wedding must transpire within the first few days of the month. Otherwise, your next best option is a creamy color palette for the wedding ceremony. Cream is a classic wedding shade that compliments the many skin tones found in the African American heritage.

Hues of Green

When an African-American wedding is scheduled for the summer weeks of September and green is your chosen color, both pale and bright shades are good ideas. For the autumn weeks of September, greens ranging from the color of grass to olive are appropriate color choices for your wedding.
Darker Pink Shades

No matter what day in September your African American wedding is scheduled to take place, dark pink is a beautiful color choice. Ranging from pale fuchsias to hot pinks, all are a possibility for a colorful wedding décor.
Orange

More suitable for the fall end of September, an African American wedding styled in traditional orange works best with the season. During the summer, however, the entire spectrum of oranges are each a possibility to incorporate into your wedding color choices.
Color Combinations

In the wedding setting, different color combinations are another option for the overall decor of your event. If you decide to go with a bolder color scheme, bright green, turquoise and yellow is a possible combination for an African American wedding in September. Other combination options include purple and green, as well as brown and blue.
