orange color palettes
hello you lovely lions,
i’ve had these two wedding color combinations running through my head for a while- a warm orange palette and a cool orange palette. i find that oranges and blues are the hardest for me to define, whereas i have relative ease describing reds, greys, and whites. so i’m going to try my best to clearly define each because i understand that the colors could vary depending on your monitor.
first up is what i consider a fall twist: peach is a little summer still, but it works in the south and out west. the fire-engine red and orange are a classic fall wedding color combo.
the key here is really hues- a very cherry red and a true orange bring out the best in this peach, which does not contain much pink. even though it doesn’t contain any green, i feel like it’s earthy and (obviously) warm. in regards to the rest of your decor and surroundings, it would do well with some warm wood of any stain, be it pale pine or a deep cherry. it can take on a carnival vibe as well- break out the pinwheels and candy!
the next is something i imagine would look good in an open air tent- silver or slate drapes flowing around every post and trimmed in this periwinkle blue, with more blues + oranges on the tables under a clear or white tent. it would work well with some vintage styling and other kitschy cherished items you may display on your wedding day.
i’d like to hear about your unique + original color combinations, too!
with love,
lindsey
