Orange Palette


Orange is a happy, energetic colour. It is popular with both summer and fall weddings, as it can be paired with bright colors (like yellow and pink) or dark colours (like red and brown). Orange can be a bit of a tricky colour; choosing the right shade will be very important. Some of the most popular shades are clementine, coral, and tangelo. It is equally important to pair it with the right colours for your palette. Oranges often pair well with blues and browns or yellows and pinks. A little goes a long way with orange, as it catches the eye almost immediately; it can be overwhelming and over-saturating when used in excess.


For a summer palette, try pairing orange with bright yellow and pink; use all three to accent a white wedding. If you’re looking for something softer, pair baby pink and orange cream. Try pairing coral or clementine with ocean blue and dark chocolate. If you like dark blues, pair clementine or orange cream with navy. If your wedding is in the fall, pair a creamy orange with a rich sangria red.
