Is Orange & Fuchsia Too Loud for a Wedding?
Can you help me — and reassure me that these colors aren't too loud? — Kristina
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.
Softer Spring Hues
If you're going for a romantic, soft look, then you'll 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?
Be Bold, Be Bright
On the other hand, if you've got 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's a little 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.
Up-to-the-Minute and Modern
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 vibrant 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, holding a bright colored gerbera as the centerpiece. Go with an all-white cake with a few pops of orange, fuchsia and lime.
Feeling spunky? You could even dress your bridesmaids in white tea-length gowns (an ultra-modern look that's super-fresh for summer) with orange, fuchsia and lime sashes if you wanted to go all the way.
I am getting married in feb, and my dresses are kind of that tangerine colorw/ bling on the dresses. the flower girls have tangerine and cream. I want to incorporate bling crystals. Do you think silver would look crazy, plus I want to add color, so I thought like the gerber colors, Just wanting to know if I am on the right track.
cat,
tangerine, cream , silver would be beautiful and set well with bling and candlelight. silver is a cooler color while gold will warm it up. do you have a pic of the dress? i could make a more sound call. and the silver where were you wanting to use that? also what color are you wanting the guys in? i think a rich brown would compliment tangerine, cream, silver. would look elegant especially since your going with bling. cant wait to hear from you!!
Stacey, thanks for the response. I will take a picture of the dresses so you may see them with the bling, the bling is actually like brooches on them and each dress is diffrent in style. The only place I wanted to use silver was more or less at the Cake table I have these silver boxes (I will take a pic) w/silver satan bows and have them scattered on the table with crystals or rhinestones around , plus on the dinner tables, bling around the tables as well.
for the men, I thought of black tux or silver tux (but really not sure about that)
I wanted to have a burst of color for the flowers at the table but not sure, plus looooovve the idea and candlelight, I had thought of that as well, love the romance.
I never thought about Brown, would like be a little dull?
Thanks so much for your ideas. I will send pics.
Crisis here, my sis wedding is in 2 months, her colour scheme is ivory, gold and burnt orange (not too dark). I am one of her brisesmaids and she left me in charge of organising our dresses, we chose the burnt orange fabric and our dresses are being made by a seamstress.
The junior bridesmaids and flower girls were supposed to wear ivory dresses with burnt orange sashes, however two moms hated it and my sis went ahead and bought champagne gold dresses for all the junior b/maids and f/girls.
The dilemma now is that we do not know how to tie in the two colours of the dresses. Will a burnt orange sash on the gold dress look horrible.
leisel,
actually i wouldnt worry about putting burnt orange sashes around the gold dresses. i would instead give them a bouquet of burnt orange roses and/or rose petals.( for rose petals do a blend of pale yellow almost white with burnt orange and ivory) this would tie it in nicely. since there is gold in the color scheme already then it will compliment it beautifully without the sash. the champage gold (unadorned) will give a perfect contrast to the burnt orange and actually make it flow and look very elegant in pics especially with the burnt orange bouquets i mentioned.
*this is a example of the rose petals. instead with the bm in champagne gold. see how gorgeous this is!!
more ideas that can easily be diy. is have a matching champagne gold sash and at bow center or front side have 1 elegant orange rose bloom. also another idea for the flowergirls is a hair wreath made elegantly with ivory and burnt orange roses with streamers or ivory roses with burnt orange and gold elegant ribbons trailing down. the junior bm will be a little old for this but the lil’ ones would look adorable. for the junior bm why not pull their hair back on sides and let curls hang down. with barrette secure add a burnt orange rose. artificial would be best, it will last longer through the oh how beautifuls and lots of hugs and kisses. i do hope this helps!! i think the mothers will be happy with just a “touch” of burnt orange instead of a sash.
I agree with Stacey . . . use hair ribbons and
flowers to tie things together. And the bridesmaid should wear gold necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
Everyone is so helpful with their ideas. I am getting married May 2010 and my colors are fushia and orange. My flowers are gerber daisies. I am having a hard time figuring out what to do about centerpieces. Any ideas. Let me know. Thanks

i LOVE floating gerbera daisies in glass bowls. another idea is getting a hurricane globe/candle and surrounding the base with gerbera daisy wreath or just put flowers tucked around edge here and there.
Hi Im getting married next year and im encountering problem with my color motif. i want the color combination of orange, yellow and hot pink… is 3 color are too loud for my bridesmaid dresses?
Thanks
RG
Gerbera daisies come in all those colors, and they look great together! Keep the linens white, the flowers and the cake, and the invitations simple, and it will be beautiful!
Hello, Im also getting married next year and im using fuchsia as my main color and i believe that it is beatiful for a wedding
and good luck with your wedding
im doing the same.. im wanting black dresses with pink, orange and yellow (and greenery) flowers
Hi. I’m getting married next year but I’m not sure if it will be in May or June. I’m getting married in New Oleans and I haven’t chosen a venue yet. I’m from California and the groom is from New Orleans so I want to know what I can do to combine california culture and new orleans culture. I’m not even sure what I want for colors. I was thinking either black and gold or victorian lilac and pewter please help!
MJ,
it would be nice to name the tables after places in New Orleans and California. add a touch of both in the food. there is so much creole food that would be sooo good. a louisiana native myself, i say add jambalaya or dirty rice ( for example) tothe menu. then bring in a couple californian foods. another idea is in favors. mardi gra beads and surf board key chains. edible? have pralines and whatever is a native cali have too, like re they famous for a certain cookie or brownie? set on a table with mardi gras mask decor mixed with palm leaves etc. another thing you could do is have your rehearsal dinner louisiana style and have your wedding california with the louisiana favors( pralines be sure to include the recipe) or use the grooms fave foods. once you get your venue i will take a look at it to see which colors will work best. dont forget the jazz band to liven things up, carrying umbrellas and form a parade!! and toss some mardi gra beads. new orleans is by the water too, so you could really blend the two easily. use the ocean as your inspiration. if you did this it would make it much simpler cause it would fit both places. fleur di lis would be a great motif.

okay! i found what would work perfectly!! they have a venue on bourbon street that has a courtyard with palm trees lit with lights. it blends the colors and the orchids that would give a bit of both cultures. have the favors like i suggested and you have it!!
* classically natural wedding board ( this is just gorgeous!!)
here is the venue:
* the St. Louis Hotel
Go with California cuisine and wines for dinner . . . but
for the rest . . . strictly NOLA! When they intoduce the wedding party, live jazz music (if possible!).
I helped design a cake several years ago for a friend
who got married during Mardi Gras . . . all white
with 3 layers . . . the bottom layer had silhouette
of jazz musicians (in black), the second layer was
made to look like a piano keyboard, the top had
fleur di lis (made to look like wrought iron) (you could
do other layers with musical notes or a harlequin
pattern). Top the cake with red roses, a gold crown,
or a black or gold mask with a large black feather plume. Drap some beads over the top of the cake . . . or mix with black and gold feather boas and surround the cake table with them. See if the bakery you use
will put some Grand Mariner in the cake! Also, check
out the prom websites, like Stumps and Anderson’s for
ideas. See if you can find an iron sign like the ones they have in the French Quarter, and have your
new last name put on it, and use it has a decoration
(or a cake topper). For an inexpensive favor, use
ribbon to tie together 2 mini bottles of Tabasco sauce
(available at the Tabasco site’s store) 144 mini bottles
are $52 + shipping and handling (you may find them
at a store in N.O.). Beads pictured are from http://www.beadsbythedozen.com and the lantern candleholder is from http://www.accentannex.com. Good Luck!

Hi i’m getting married in the caribbean may 2010, I’ve chosen fushia and coral as my theme as it matches my braidmaids who are ivory with hints of coral and fushia the same for the flower girls. I’ll be wearing ivory also.
But i’m confused as to what to put the groom and best man in.. As it is so hot they can’t be wearing suits, but i still want it to be very formal. We will all be wearing it again for a blessing and a reception when we get back.
Any suggestions?

If you have hired a wedding photographer,
have him/her email you some photos of what other
grooms have worn . . . or call and ask the
person who is helping organize your wedding . . .
THEY would know. Generally, it’s the khaki suit,
or the khaki pants, white cotton blazer.
I’m getting married July 2010 and im thinking of tiger lillies for my flower so i have orange and i need a second color. i love the tiger lillies with the black dots but im not going to have black in the brides maid dresses. What about a deep purple with the tiger lillies?
katie,
actually deep purple would be very stunning. another color is plum. what are your venue colors? and are you wanting soft or bold colors?
MY COLORS ARE BURNT ORANGE AND CHOCALATE BROWN I NEED TO KNOW WHAT COLOR DRESSES TO GET MY BRIDESMAIDS AND GROOMSMEN THERE VEST
JMO,
i would have the girls try on the colors from your color scheme to see if their skintones look good in either. i think champagne dresses with burnt orange or chocolate sashes and the guys in simple brown tux or suit with champagne vest and ties. the orange and brown would pop against this.
I’m getting married November 6 of 2009. Where its a winter kind of season would it still be okay to have my wedding colors hot pink and orange? I really like the loud bright colors.
kayla,
are you having a theme etc? ithink these colors would be fine as long as you do them right. i am thinking lots of white linens with runners. have centerpieces of deep pink and deep orange flowers mixed with winter evergreens or ice crystal branches for a wintry feel( if you choose) then add lots of candlelight everywhere. or you can keep it simple with creamy white linens as the backdrop, and then add deep yet bright orange and pink. that would make a great looking wedding! think pink and orange tulips for a more minimalist look( they are in season in winter)
*example board
kayla,
hi i am back! i was trying to find this pic from a wedding show. i just knew it would fit perfectly!! see the branches holding the candleholders? it would fit in the wintry feel too. you could also go to a craft store and buy icy lookingbranches , if you wanted, but due tothe colors i think i would keep the branches plain. you could keep this decor amped up or you could choose to make it more subtle. i would, add a metallic to this. in this case silver. only through your metal accents though. although it would look amazing to have your bm in a gorgeous silvery grey( or take cue from the linens and put them in champagne.) the guys could wear black with grey or champange vests and ties. i wouldnt put them in pink or orange, since the reception decor has so much. just make sure the dress colors suit the bm and the guys skintones. let me know whattcha think!!
I like it but the whole gray dresses or gray vests i just really don’t like…what i was thinking is for the bm to wear like a hot pink dress with a orange scheme over it and the guys where like orange vests or the other way around something like that cause i am still having trouble with what color my fiance’s mother is gonna wear and my grandmother…just soo confused..please help =]
HELP ME!
so for my wedding i was thinking pink black and pearl but when i was talking to my fiance’ about it he said he thought black was more for a funeral instead of a wedding .. so what are some colors that would go good with pink .. (i dnt even have to have the pearl)
Kasey,
there are many beautiful colors to pair with pink. it depends on your venue and the type of wedding you envision. give me some more details and i will put together a board for you!
kasey, almost forgot.
brown withpink is gorgeous so is navy and pink……

this will give the same look as black would except softer. your fiance might like the idea of the navy and pink. most grooms like blue.
pink and green look great, so do pink and orage or pink and chocolate brown.
HELP!!
Im getting married in July 2010. I have bridesmaids of all shapes and sizes. I dont want my bridesmaids glowing with the bright colors of summer like a hot pink or neon yellow dresses… what are lighter colors that are ok for summer?
jessica,
what is your color scheme? i would choose a simple neutral color even for a spring wedding. i would take the girls and get them to try on colors that are in or compliment the scheme. navy blue is a perfect choice! so are black, grey, champagne. the bm may find they love the way brown looks on them. any of these colors can have a pop of color added in the shoes or jewelry, even a sash. if your looking for an overall great color for skintones periwinkle is a hit. if you i use a neutral pull in the spring bouquets there in fab colors! you will get your overall effect of spring and your bm will smile with confidence!
go check out the new brides magazine and color studio section on page 232. you will see how you can take basic colors and doll them up with accents and it presents the same idea as a full color dress. its a great concept!! plus the bm could wear this again. i tried to find a link but couldnt they havent posted one yet. at least you will see if this is something youd consider!! good luck!!
Okay, first a couple of suggestions about fabric . . . stick with chiffon, stay away from anything shiny. In photos, fabric should flow over the body, shiny fabric accents parts of the body . . . which is fine for your size 6, B cup future sister-in-law, but not for your size 20, DD cup cousin or your size 10, A cup sorority sister. ’nuff said! I agree with Stacey, navy is slimming, dark, yet crisp. All or mostly white flowers (white roses or a bouquet of daisies) would look wonderful. However, I’m old-fashioned . . . I think lilac and/or pink are wonderful, feminine basics. If you think pink is too “cotton candy-ish”, try Alfred Angelo’s shrimp. Pink does wonders for everyones skin tones, and shows up great in photos. A simple pearl earring, a neutral-to-pink lipstick, and maybe . . . even short white gloves . . . classy, classy, classy. Again, SOFT pink
, not a pink you need sunglasses to look at! If you’re going with a nature/garden/wilderness/eco theme . . . try celadon (the only green anyone can wear) or raisin (also called rosy brown).
im gettin married next summer and ive fallen in love wit the palm beach coral dresses at davids bridal…but i have no idea what to do theme wise for my outside ceremony/reception..anyone have any suggestions?
kari,
) girls in palm beach coral, you beaming with a bouquet of green hydrangeas and peach roses, white paper lanterns strung up ( how gorgeous!), woven hand fans laying in every seat with ribbons for every guest. flowergirls in cute sundress and flipflops with a hair wreath of greenery, guests will be sooooo happy to dress in simple summer attire!! have simple white linens flow in the breeze with simple greenery for centerpieces, think tropical leaves, for the cake? none other would do except a vanilla cake with key lime or mango filling. favors? have lil’ boxes in a choice of chocolate covered macadamia nuts or white chocolate chip cookies. you can bet it would be a great and relaxed party!!
heh! can you tell me a bit about what you like as far as personality? fun, laid back, etc.? i dont where you are going for your honeymoon but why not a destination theme wedding, in case you might be going to the tropics? btw, i LOVE this dress color!
*2009 Inspiration Sunday – “Bamboo Beach Wedding ( could you imagine guys happy in comfort with flipflops, khakis, and white beach shirts ( wear again friendly
No matter what other colors you choose to go with coral,
you have to go for a “sunny” vibe. Bamboo, palm fronds,
ferns, etc. would be nice accents. Or go more or a summer garden look with gerbera daisies in coral, pink and green.
Either way, white chairs and a white gazebo or arch for a
crisp look. A beach party or a colorful garden picnic . . .
it works either way. (And Stacey, I’ve never had a cake
with key lime filling. . . I’m gaining weight just THINKING about it!) Oh! And don’t forget the tropical drinks!! And
maybe some peach lemonade!
nancy b.,
you must try the cake!especially if you like key lime pie etc. just google search for a recipe. i dont have mine anymore or i would share it with ya. i just did a random search and found one that sounded good and was it ever!! so summery and light.

Hi,
We are thinking about maybe having an orange wedding in Jan 2010 but my fiance doesn’t like pink. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can make orange work? BTW – my bridemaids are in plus sizes – any ideas of what colours might go well (other than black)? Thanks
melinda,
i would put brown with this. if the guys wont wear brown have black suits or tux with brown vest and tie. have dreamsicle orange and cream flowers everywhere. pull in a crystal theme. adding crystals to bouquets, arch, and around centerpieces, use glass containers. your bm should be very happy with brown. another fab color would be navy blue with creamy orange and cream. you could always lighten to peach, or add shades of orange from light to darker. it would be so pretty. make sure you have plentyof white florals. another color scheme that is so amazing is grey. grey and orange of any shade is a hot ticket right now. google image orange and grey wedding. consider white edible glitter on white cake. just make everything sparkle. crisp white linens with whit eplates and brown napkins then add shades of orange roses as centerpiece, wow!!
google image orange and brown wedding to see if you like this.
melinda,
google image blue and orange wedding. navy is perfect for plus size figures, its totally rewearable too!! would tone the orange down to a light peach though. here is the glitter cake….
* elegance with a twist
I agree, brown is your color. It is classic, looks good on all sizes . . . and is GORGEOUS with corals or orange, or apricot.
It can be warm or cool, depending on how you use it.
And a suggestion . . . larger women look better in larger jewelry. Tiny little necklaces and earrings don’t show well.
Larger, costume jewery is better.

what do i do
any suggestions
jessica,
some cheap ideas are glass vases with pink water and floating candle, and/or submerged rose. just use food dye to tint water your desired shade.
also google image inexpensive wedding centerpiece also try rose petal centerpiece( scattering a generous layer of rose petals and mixing in votives is ALWAYS a cheap way to go.)
*inexpensive wedding ideas
jessica, also gogole image submerged rose centerpiece.
if flowers are not an option consider greenery in vases spilling over to the table top. another idea is have pedestals of cupcakes or edible favors in organza bags with luscious ribbon tied to the bags trailing to to the table top.. instantly beautiful!! if you have favors it is easier to dress those up with pretty ribbons or stack favor boxes into a tower on each table = double duty decor.

Hi felecia i am getting married next year may and wanted to know if you know where i can get ivory,orange and bright pink wedding invitations. Thanks

Find some pink and white christmas ornaments and put them in a large clear glass container or buy ornament stands (which you can get for $2.99 ea)and hand paint ornaments and add a white ribbon bow or fill them with pink candy, or pink shredded paper or shredded foil. See the photos.
The christmas ornaments are very cool. What type of candy is in the clear ornaments.
Instructions for the clear ornaments are at
http://www.save-on-crafts.com, click on projects, then wedding favors. The candy is also available at that site.
go to http://www.ehow.com and type in “gift box centerpiece”.
Basically, take a few small boxs, like tissue boxes, wrap them in
your wedding colors, tie a bow on them, maybe add a flower,
and viola!, a centerpiece. I’m famous for this centerpiece-
I use it all the time at showers. Also, if I find small gift bags
that are appropriate, I’ll put some contrasting tissue paper
inside, so some is sticking out the top, and add that, too.
Go to the dollar stores FIRST to look for gift wrap. If you
can’t find ones that are the right color, use gold and/or silver
wedding wrap. Add some curling ribbon (it’s dirt cheap!),
and if you want to, sprinkle confetti over the top of the boxes,
letting some fall onto the tablecloth. Just use “chunky” boxes,
no cereal boxes, etc. The ones I like best are about the size
a mug would come in. If you use light boxes, like tissue boxes,
stick some filler (bottle caps, a few small rocks, etc.)
to weigh down the boxes OR use full tissue boxes. HINT: take some paper and make
“gift tags”, about 3×5″, and hang them from one of the gifts with
ribbon, and put your table numbers on them. Just be sure
to tape the numbers so they hang correctly and don’t flop
around.
This is what I was writing about in the previous post-
a gift “tag” for a table number. This is on computer paper,
I add contrasting cardstock to the back to make it more
sturdy, then add it to the gift box centerpiece.
I am getting married in June 2010, I am wearing GOLD jewelery.
If I want peach as one color what other colors would be compatible with Peach. Furthermore 3 out of 4 bridesmaids are having tanned complexion.
Please please help!!!
And send us some images…
Hi Sithara,
How about a peach and burgundy wedding?
See: http://tinyurl.com/db3xhd
Thank you, Delores….
Browsing thru the link right now…
sithara,
can you tell me what color your venue is? this will make all the difference in choosing a color. if you could post a pic or link. i would be totally happy to check it out. difficult to determine without looking at the venue colors first; it needs to flow. yes the burgundy would be stunning. so would green and peach. google image green and peach wedding. another color and a striking combo would be peach and champagne using deeper orange peach bouquets. the best thing you can do is take the girls and let them try on colors. it might be they wont all wear the same tone.
last idea: use different shades of the peach from dark to light. pair this with brown dresses or a shade from the peach family for your scheme. you could also put them in coral with light peach flowers. would be stunning!! guys in black, brown or charcoal tuxes/suits. another color i almost 4got about is aqua. is goes very well with peach and looks good on tanned skintones. i also included yellow, this is a beautiful combo! dont know if its the right shade for the skintones though.
Hi,
I am attaching images of the hall and the hotel…
As you can see it has dark green carpets with white and gold roof and walls…
Also my wedding will be a NIGHT FUNCTION… both the ceremony and reception will be at the same HALL.
my bridesmaids and I will be wearing Indian sarees.. I have attached an image about the likes of the dress…(different colors though..)
Could you tell me whether “Peach, fuchsia and/or Orange” will look nice on bridesmaids with gold jewelery.
Thanks again
Sith
Hi Sith,
Peach, fuchsia, and organge will all look great with gold jewelry and will work well too with a venue that has gold walls. Gold is a warm color and peach, fuchsia, and orange are also warm colors. The walls for our reception venue were also gold and fuchsia and tangerine were the colors used for our reception. It looked beautiful. Now, that you say that the bridesmaids are wearing saris, I even more in favor of you doing a fuchsia and orange wedding. Fuschsia and orange are great colors for an Indian-themed wedding! With our wedding, we varied the shades of pink and orange. For example, the bridesmaids wore watermelon gowns and the groomsmen wore peach shirts and ties. At the reception we had fuchsia and orange table decor.
sith, i agree with delores. i think the girls would look great in either peach or fuschia. i think i would get them to try on peach though. adding bouquets of peach and orange flowers with fuschia accents would be nice. you can use peach and orange because they are in the same color family one being a little deeper than the other. so by all means add them both!! google image orange and fushia wedding. actually looking at saris, i love the deep peach it is gorgeous!! yeah its my fave!! i also included a pic of bm in fuschia. so you could look at it. the other 2 pics are just beautiful! would work in the room. i especially love the bold colors against a neutral table cloth it adds a little something i think. a shimmery champagne linen would be just gorgeous!! or a light champagne gold.
I agree with Stacey, peach and coral or peach and apricot. VERY soft and feminine. Peach highlights gold jewelry well and looks good on every skintone, from redheads to dark African-American skin.
Hi There
Im getting married in March 2010. I really like natural but also like the colour burnt orange and olive green. Do these colours match. Im worried it might look to dark. Please could you send me pictures of these colours that have been used before. I love the idea of using gold fish for the orange colour. I love the theme of hearts. I love fairy lights and candles. Would this all look nice. Im not a very creative person.
Thank you
Cheryse
cheryse, i found some things tolook at but the color may be off.
yes it is beautiful and perfect together. i will forewarn fish may go bellyup, this is a problem that many brides have had. it sounds like you may want a enchanted garden look. use the candles and string fairylights. use ribbons and tulle for an enchanted look with alot of greenery mixed in. if you are still uncomfy with deeper sage then consider light sage.

I love your color choice! Think about adding wood elements to your theme. Wood boxes or vases for your centerpiece.
Maybe driftwood and votives in sage and burnt orange votives.
Your theme colors are relaxing, I think both “woodland” and
“spa”.

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

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.

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.

Hi Courtney,

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.
