New ideas for orange and yellow color palatte!


When you think of the fall colors orange and yellow, it is easy to conjure images of lit jack-o-lanterns and Halloween decor.  But, these colors can also create a wonderful vibe.  Their color tones can be warm, inviting, formal and elegant or casual and fun.  With September being the third most popular month for weddings, you should embrace the season and make it your own.

This fall, orange is the hottest trend.  Yellow is such a complimentary color to balance the striking orange.  Depending on your location and the vibe you are looking for, these colors can be both vibrant and muted. For instance, this first bouquet uses muted oranges and cremes that gives a natural feeling of being outdoors.  The second bouquet is vibrant, alive, and has such a pop of color.

The same color palates, either muted or bright, can be repeated in the centerpieces.  Brides can choose tall centerpieces that reflect a formal, elegant affair or they can choose a simple floral centerpiece or even centerpieces without flowers.  For a extravagent affair in a large ballroom with high ceilings, the tall arrangment would work perfectly.  In contrast, the other arrangements would work well indoor or even in anoutdoor setting.  It is all determined by the bride and groom, what represents them best and the mood they want to evoke.

By using different shades of orange and yellow and incorporating flowers and other decorative pieces, you can use your centerpieces and floral bouquets to really set the mood of the event. Whether you are an outdoorsy couple tying the knot or you want a formal, black-tie affair you can use the fall season and embrace it wholeheartedly in your color scheme and design.
