Sure, orange isn’t your typical wedding color these days (in the 1970s, definitely yes), but this lush tropical palette proves you can really elevate your wedding day décor and details with invigorating color. Orange and yellow are cheerful colors that are sure to spark joy with your guests. Light salmon pink and clover green provide just enough contrast to keep this stunning palette grounded and organic.
While this palette emanates a tropical feel, it’s quite adaptable across various wedding styles—bohemian, rustic, and modern for instance. Warm palettes like this also complement a variety of textures, such as wood, metal, and velvet!
Planning the perfect wedding stationery can be exciting, fun—and maybe even a bit stressful. But it doesn’t have to be with the help of our Wedding Planning Tools.
