colors


Orange is not a pretty color.  It happens to be my favorite color.  Ever since my dad started coaching the Tigger's Tigers soccer team in 4th grade I have loved the color orange.  Orange socks, orange purses, orange kitchen utensils!  How do I incorporate such an informal color into such a formal event?


Coral is one idea.  While still possessing the brightness I love, it is soft and elegant.  But what do I pair it with? Navy blue? Emerald Green?




Another idea is to stick with the bright color in its truest form that I know and love.  I could hold a bouquet of tiger lilies and bring on a fiery summer theme to my end-of-summer wedding.  I could still pair it with Navy blue...or maybe yellow...




And what do I make my bridesmaids wear?  I don't think they will be happy looking like this:




In all my indecisive-ness, There is one color scheme I've decided I DON'T want---the overdone fall hues theme.  Everyone knows summer is coming to an end and the leaves will soon be turning.  They don't need it shoved in their faces!

    hm this is a tough one lol. im using bright orange and yellow flowers to tone the orange down a bit. so theres always that option but that does get more into the "fall hues" lol, i also still think ur idea of using coral is very nice. u might really love just straight up orange though. its a beautful color that would go great with either blue or green :) i hope that was somewhat helpful, i'm an indecisive person myself.
