Pumpkins and fall leaves are orange, and work perfectly with an autumn splendor theme. Your wedding could also take on a Scottish theme and use orange liberally.

As the dominant color or just as a highlight, it gives your other colors contrast and makes them appear more vivid as well as providing a warm and festive feel to any event.

Your options for including this color are many. It serves as a wonderful color for flowers, clothes augmenters such as cuff links, ties or broaches or as a secondary enhancer for handkerchiefs, ascots or as part of a pattern on a dress or shirt. Used in many different hues, orange theme weddings can provide guests with a rich and elegant background or as a highlighter to bring out the vividness of other colors.

Some words of caution about overuse are in order, however. Orange, while it blends well with almost any other color, does clash with some. Some shades of hair, such as deep red, do not match well and bright orange as a dominant color can be over-stimulating. Mixing orange with lighter colors can make the less vibrant colors muted, so make sure that if you use orange, you choose the right shade so as to let it highlight the other colors and not drown them out. Orange leaves also provide a rich contrast if used as part of a table or alter centerpiece.

Generally, orange is a highlighter and not used as the predominate color in any color scheme. It brings out the richness of other colors and adds a touch of elegance, particularly if it is used as a “detailer” and is incorporated as trim on tuxedos, bunting, and tablecloths or used as a napkin to offset the colors of chairs and other table settings. Make sure that it does not obscure any colors you use for trim, which leaves out virtually all lighter colors except for white.

Orange is a fun and vibrant color for weddings. It adds depth and excitement. Best of all, it matches virtually anything, so incorporating it is a breeze.
