Colour Code: Part 1

So, I promised to do a piece on color schemes for weddings, as requested by my special, beautiful, amazing, lovely, funny and intelligent Lily Charm…(using her alias)

By the way, congratulations on your forthcoming wedding too, I will be there with you either with my heart or in person…both count ;)

Lets start by exploring the endless possibilities of orange combinations.

Orange is an amazing color, and although its bright, and will bring instant colour to a wedding, it’s also nice to combine with neutral colors like brown. Actually, I think orange and brown are a lovely colour combination too. Mixing other colors like green, blue and even red all against a strong orange background will add more color and excitement to the mix. 

Orange is referred to as 'burnt orange', when it has a darker 'orangey' color, as opposed to being so bright.

Some lovely orange and green combinations:

 

orange and lime

And how about this for the traditional marriage setting?

Another Combination will have to be orange and blue: In order to go with orange and blue, one has to be very daring...daring to be different. This color is not only bright, but it will be sure to leave a lasting impression.  Starting the pictures with royal  blue and orange, and then on to navy blue, which will be sure to add some more excitement to the orange, you just can't get enough.
 

Using a milder shade of blue can go a long way in making it softer for the eyes
   




Adding some black makes it look totally different







 


Another orange combination I love is Orange and brown. In fact, it's one of my favorites




   
 









For Traditional Weddings,


 

Okay, enough of orange and brown, now to orange and purple, another gorgeous combination







 



 

 

And last but not the least is another favorite of mine, orange and grey:
 









Orange is a very bright colour, which will bring life to a wedding. Dont limit yourself to the above combinations. There are also many other ways to combine orange be creative, be different, be daring!



 

More color combinations coming soon :)
