Is Orange & Fuchsia Too Loud for a Wedding?
Dear Kristina:
Fuchsia and Orange together can be absolutely wonderful. How you pull it off will depend a lot on the overall look you want to create.
If you are going to a romantic, soft look, then you will need to tone it down a bit. A bouquet with a variety of colors: pale pinks, white, pale yellow, and just a few hints of orange and fuchsia will bring in those colors softly.
One of the bouquets shown here is done in different color roses. If you decide to go this route, make sure to follow suit in your decor: soft colors, and a few strong accents. Another thing to consider is a softer bridesmaid color. Sashes are very popular right now, and a bridesmaid dress in a softer color with a nice bright sash would look stunning. Perhaps pale pink with alternating orange and fuschia sashes?
On the other hand, if you have a flair for the dramatic, these two colors can be used to create a beautiful and yet unique statement at your wedding as well!
Start with the bright-colored gowns, and use bright colors for the flowers as well. A brighter bouquet shown here uses fuchsia, oranges and purples for a beautiful and elegant look.
This look is more exotic, so look for flowers with an exotic style: birds of paradise, calla lilies, and so on. (You may want to consider going with silk, as these flowers tend to get costly.)
Then carry the color throughout your wedding. Use bold colors for your centerpieces, wedding cake, napkins, etc. Make sure you also use a bold color for the men's vests and flowers so that it blends together well.
For a cool, contemporary modern look, consider combining your pinks and oranges with bright lime.
For the flowers, pick a simple, streamlined bouquet made with long-stem fuchsia and orange calla lilies, or gerbera daisies.
Then for your decor, use white clean lines everywhere, with just a few color accents.
For example, your tables could be crisp, stark white with clean glass containers filled with limes and water, each tied with orange or fuchsia ribbon, or holding a bright colored gerbera as the centerpiece. Your cake could be all-white with a few orange, fuchsia and lime accents.
You could even have your bridesmaids in white tea-length gowns with orange, fuchsia and lime sashes if you wanted to go all the way with it.

Hello I am getting married in August and I have also decided on the hot pink and orange look. Davids Bridal has a tragerine color that is soo pretty. They really dont have a pink so I am looking somewhere else for that dress. As for the flowers I found that pulmerias are very pretty and they have them in the pink and orange colors if you like the tropical look also hot pink and orange roses look good together also. So if any of you have any ides for me let me know thanks
David’s has watermelon colored dresses that are BEAUTIFUL! Those are the dresses I bought for my wedding in August!
Alfred Angelo has a fabulous pink. I’m using it with the tangerine from David’s.
Hiya have just read your message, i am getting married in may 2010 and i am also thinking of those same clours bright pink and orange for my colour scheme, but my family thinks its too bold to use, can you tell me if you have had these colours and did it make a difference (looking lovely) to your wedding. thanks
tanya,
i made a wedding board to show what those colors look like in an elegant but simple setting. the bm dress sash could easily be changed to a shade of pink, i would keep it pale pink.
Just thought you would like to see some of our orange and fuschia pics from our July 19, 2009 wedding. My husband decorated the wedding suite with the colored petals…who knew men would pay attention to the color scheme. We used goldfish with fuschia colored sand on the tables. It was happy, vibrant and so many people commented how great they looked together.
Hello, i read your comment and i loved that idea. I am getting married on June 19th of 2010 and I was wondering if that was the only colors you used or if you added more. Email me please my name is kamron. Thank you
Kamron,
Here is the website of our wedding…

Hey Ann! I was wondering if I could get the password to your site. I am getting married next summer and pink and orange are my colors. I really wanted to see what you had done!! Thanks
Amanda
I really like all the comments on the orange and fuschia color schemes. I have decided that I am going to use those colors also in my wedding in May. I am having a difficult time trying to coordinate the bridesmaid dresses. Any suggestions will be appreciated, Thanks
crystal,
have bridesmaids try on these 2 colors, see how it looks against their skintone. another suggestion would be putting them in black and have guys in black. it looks super chic. and the colors pop against it.
google image orange and fuschia wedding it will give you some visuals to see which direction you want to head. i am a big fan of a wear again nuetral with this color scheme. you can also look at this end of the spectrum and pick a lighter shade of orange or fuschia family. the colors will look amazing against it also. sashes are a wonderful way to add color. you can take a simple black cocktail dress and tie a fuschia sash around it and its amazing, add the flowers and its upscale without alot of effort. the girls could wear these dresses again. another color i have seen, is chamapagne with the guys in black and champagne suits the boutonnieres had the bold color. i read this as a general rule of thumb.
Pair bolder colors with 1 neutral for a flowing color scheme.
Hi there! I too am having an orange and fuschia wedding in June, and I’m having my MOH wear orange (its her favorite color) and the bridesmaids wear pink, its a nice way to make the different yet still co-ordinate together!
Good luck on your day!!
hi michelle I’m also having these colours for my wedding in august and all my bridesmaids are in knee length ivory dresses with sashes, to bridesmaids with orange sashes and hot pink gerbera Daisy’s and the other two with hot pink sashes and orange gerberas daisy and I’m having the mix of both colours in mine i hope this helps a bit good luck with your wedding, steph
What would the mother of a bride wear if the bridesmaids
dresses were fushia and the groomsmen were black suits.
hi kay, she can wear black if she chooses it would be elegant, it can be mixed with a color. or she can pick a shade belonging in the pinkish or purplish family(not fuschia of course :mrgreen:) like a rose, lavender, pale pink, anything in those type shades. personally i think a black dress would be a classic with a mix of pink and fuschia flowers in her corsage. she could also go against grain and choose an elegant grey, as long as it goes with the color scheme you have chosen, in this case fuschia. black strappy shoes would work with this very nicely.
I am getting married in may and i am using these colors!!
Hi Brandi,
I hired a seamstress to make the dresses for my BM’s. I told her exactly what color I was looking for and she took care of everything. TY for the comment.
Hey all!
I had a fuscia/lemon yellow/mango orange colour inpired wedding. Mainly used the lemon and mango colours as accents. I did most of everything that can be made before the actual day myself. Here’s a pic of my BMs.
I let them choose whatever style they wanted as ling as it was cocktail length. I made them necklaces and bought their shoes.
OMG where did you get your bridemaid dresses there beautiful
Nice dresses, I especially like the first bridesmaid (on the left) is wearing!
Super-cute pink and orange wedding! Love the escort cards, the amazing wreath, the florals and napkins, the ribbon bouquet wraps, the adorable pew markers … this is pretty much the ultimate summer orange & fuchsia wedding.
* May 3rd: Noor & Jitan

WHere did you find that color of orange for the bridesmaid dresses? I totally love the color and the style of those dresses.
i have 2 beautiful Alfred Angelo fushia and orange (tangerine) tea length dresses size 5 and 6 i would like to sell. $75 each, the styles are are currently offered new. they have been dry cleaned. also several fuschia and orange tea light size candles and orange tulle you could mix with fuschia tulle or flower garlands.
Hi Cindy!
Could you please email me pictures of the dresses and tea lights? I am very interested in them.
I will take pictures and send them when i get home from work
tonight.
i will get the candle photos on later. i need some help with them.
I am having a fushia wedding and I am trying to find a place to buy premade table runners in fushia, along with chair bows. Can anyone help me out?
amy, try out your local decor store, or rental store or ebay. they should be able to help you!! good luck!!
if you cant find waht your looking for, go to a fabric store and buy bolts of this color fabric if you have a seamstress in the family pay her to whip them up for you along with sashes!! sometimes this is a cheaper way to go depending on fabric.
Amy, also check out ebay — f’rexample this listing: “100 fuchsia sashes for $125“
Also try ebay for wedding overlays or table runners … try spelling “fuchsia” a couple of different ways (like fushia) for best results
Or leave out the color and just browse the overlays and see what you see.
Hi Amy! I had a wedding in August of 2007. I had fuschia table runners and matching chair ties, made out of fuschia chiffon. I have about 190 chair ties and 24 runners. Send me an email and I will send you pictures!
Thanks!
Courtney
Hi my name is Christin, I am planning on having a wedding in June of 09′ and I am wondering if you still have those sashes and table runners. If so will you please send me an email.
Thanks so much
Hi Courtney,
Are you interested in selling the fuschia chiffon or were they rented. I’m seeking approximately 100 for a May 2009 wedding. Thanks.
Bett
BRIDES,
it wont let me post pics but see this fuschia and chartreuse wedding! its nicccceeee!
Hello All
I am getting in june 09 my color are also in Hot Pink and Orange and a touch of lime and turquise. We also have a them of ” The Perfect Catch” (fishing) so I have come up with these cute little center pieces. I am going to replace the silk flowers with real ones.
My bridesmaids dresses are hot pink with a orange sash, my maid of honor is wearing my grandmothers orange pillbox hat.my jr. bridemaid is wearing a orange dress with a pink sash and my flower girl is wearing a white dress with a lime sash. The celling in my venue is going to be cover with orange and hot pink tulle and twinkle lights. I am also making suckers and mints in the shape of fish, in those colors. if any one else has any ideas with these colors and with the fish let me know.
I am getting married in May of 09 and I am having my bridesmaids wear black cocktail dresses so the flowers, which are hot pink calla lillies and orange roses really pop. We are getting married @ sunset in Arizona so I feel the colors go pefect w/the sunset.
That color scheme will be perfect! It seems like you and I have a lot in common. My bridesmaids are wearing black cocktail dresses but the maid of honour is wearing fuchsia. Their hair will have an accent of either orange or fuchsia and they are wearing jewelry that will either be fuchsia or orange also. I didn’t want one colour to overpower the other since fuchsia and orange are the main colors. I applaud you for stepping outside of the box. Honestly, those colours look fantastic against the black and your bridesmaid will feel beautiful. What color shoes were thinking of? We are going with black. “Apparently” colored shoes would make it look like a carnival. You can’t have it all right?
I have found awesome decorations at Luna Bazaar. Also, the hostess are wearing jcrew dresses in an accent colour. Have a look at their site because they have to die for sales right now. I got their dresses for $30 each 2 days ago. Hmmm…what else? I’m using black river rocks to tie in some of the black but don’t intend on using black anywhere else. Feel free to drop me a line and I’ll share some more ideas with you. My wedding is next may as well. :)
BRIDES, here is a simple wedding in fuschia, love it!! i loveee simple weddings so easy!
Hello Brides! For those looking for decorations for an orange and fuchsia/pink themed wedding, I have a set of 22 pew bows that I am trying to sell. I’ve attached a picture and trust me the colors look amazing together! Also, I have a set of 200 Hallmark guest wish cards. Both items are brand new, never used. If anyone is interested in possibly purchasing these from me, please e-mail me at LittlePace29@aol.com. I’m looking to get rid of them, so come to me with offers. Thanks and Good Luck planning!!
I’m getting married Spring 2010 in Vancouver (Canada) and I went pink and orange because in Vancouver the cherry blossoms are full bloom in April (pink) and my fiance’s favourite color is orange. My wedding dress is pastel pink, so my sister wanted a fuschia bridesmaid dress. She picked a hot pink Alfred Angelo, but replaced the ribbon belt it comes with with a bright, bright length of orange ribbon (she got it at a ribbon store in Toronto, but you could probably get something similar at Michaels)
Anyway, if you’re choosing “unusual” colors, it’s a good way to be coordinated in bridesmaid dresses. I think unusual bridesmaid dresses, even wedding dress colors are going to become more common, especially in Canada where weddings tend to be less traditional than in the States.
Hi
I am trying to choose between fuchsia and orange or fuchsia black and white. If anybody has any pictures of their wedding in either of these coulour themes could you please email them over!!
Thanks a million!
Heather
hi!! heather i dont think you will need to choose between the 2 color schemes!! i did a search and i think the color scheme should be black white fuschia with pops of orange!! it would be absolutely amazing!! i have some pics to post, i hope you love them as much as i did!! now the dress style may not be what you had in mind but i just loved the color look and wanted to show you. with the black and white attired bride and groom. and groomsmen in simple black and white also with fuschia bout. i will send a couple more pics!! be right back!!

Hi all,
I know this is a little off topice but my wedding will be Oct 2009. The colors I decided for the wedding are grey and burnt orange. However, I can’t find bridemaids dress in either grey or orange. Please help.
Hi Linda!

Orange and Grey Wedding Decor
just some pics i thought id throw in there and youd love !!
jcrew.com ( they had great dresses at great prices)
have you tried your local dress shops? bridal stores? department stores? major department storeswith this chic color combo i would choose a tea or knee length style. if you know a GREAT seamstress you could find a pattern and have them made. sometimes its cheaper.
See this 188FA style from Aria bridesmaids.
one more website. i dont know what your budget is but these dresses are not THAT bad. i saw a long dress by bari jay in a bride book for $198.00, its beautiful though. and they have stores everywhere. which, never know, you might be in search of bari jay and luck up on something perfect and a little cheaper on your mission for this label. i believe in luck like that!!
also check out watters and watters their bm collections. i am looking at a knee length dress with a built in sash, empire waist. $106.00, reasonable. i love that its wear again too. i love dresses that go past the wedding day, even wedding dresses too. !! makes sense!!
