Orange Theme Weddings

It can, however, also be used via the sculptural white tiger lilies collection, which uses the light orange of the lilies to make the white of the rest of the collection brighter and more pronounced.

As a primary color, orange matches almost every other color. Some colors to be careful with include red and pink. While you can use orange effectively with either of these two colors, you also can create a contrast that is too busy.

Orange also has other connotations. It is a color that personifies power and is one of the "healing" colors. It also signifies vitality and endurance. Most people who see orange are impressed with its ability to add depth and elegance to almost anything it graces. In Scotland, orange is the color of independence and royalty.

Remember that orange matches best with darker colors and is best used as a trim to enhance the richness of other colors. To this end, you can use it as your theme throughout, but should be careful that you do not over use it and obscure other colors. Orange is a powerful color that is best used subtly, but when used correctly, not only adds to the richness of your scheme, proclaims loudly your good taste and class. When using orange, either as trim or your dominant color, remember to offset it with other colors that enhance its richness rather than provide a contrast. This means that blue, black and dark green work better than pastels, white or lighter shades of any primary color.
