Weddings in teal and orange colors

Weddings in teal and orange colors


It's interesting:
"Sometimes people get upset when their friend gets married, especially if they don’t know the bride too well. Well, the way I see it – today I’m not losing one friend to marriage, but gaining one instead. And, if you look over at our college friends sitting at table 9, it’ll highlight how nice it will be for us to gain a new member of the crew, a new best friend, especially one who clearly bathes regularly."

A large part of wedding planning is choosing the wedding colors. The colors will be reflected in the table lines, bridal party clothing and floral arrangements. If the bride and groom wish, they can also incorporate the colors into other decor, like the centerpieces and wedding favors, and even into the cocktails that are served -- and the bridal gown. Many brides opt for a combination of teal and orange, especially for summertime or outdoor weddings.

  1. Stationary

    • Search for save-the-dates and wedding invitations that reflect teal and orange. Since this is a summer color combination, you can also find stationary with tropical images or warm-weather images. Consider having an image of a wave or beach, palm trees or butterfly on the stationary. The same image and colors can also be included on the program and menu.

    Bridal Party

    • Select bridal party dresses in either teal or orange and have them hold bouquets made of the opposite color. For example, if the bridesmaids wear teal dresses, they can hold orange flowers. Teal flowers aren't easy to come by - if the bride wants teal flowers, they may have to be artificially dyed. The groomsmen can also reflect the color scheme by wearing socks and a tie or vest of the same color as the bridesmaids' dresses.

    Food and Drink

    • Design a wedding cake with either teal or orange detail. Both colors together on the wedding cake may not look too chic, but one of the colors can look great. A ribbon in teal or orange can be placed on the bottom of each cake layer and thin designs in the color of choice can be drawn with icing on the cake. Ask the bartender to create colorful cocktails. They may be able to whip up delicious martinis in both teal and orange. The couple can often ask for a sample of the drinks during wedding planning to make sure they like the taste.

    Bridal Accessories

    • Shop for bridal accessories in either teal or orange. The bridal shoes, garter and jewelry can all be found in this color scheme. Even the dress can incorporate one of the two colors - a sash tied around the waist, beading or the tulle underneath the dress can be made in teal or orange.

    Reception Tables

    • Accent the reception tables with your color scheme. Table linens, including the table cloth and napkins, plus napkin holders and even the dishes can be teal and orange. The couple may need to purchase these items on their own, if the reception hall doesn't carry linens and table accents in these colors.
