Orange Bridesmaid Dresses and Bouquets

First the dresses: one of the prettiest trends in weddings is the use of tangerine. It has the freshness of a true orange, but is a little easier to wear. Tangerine chiffon is especially lovely, and it looks great paired with a soft lime green for a citrusy color palette. For a late summer wedding, think about using a slightly richer orange, such as a deep orange silk dupioni for your bridesmaids.

When choosing a dress in a strong color like orange, accessories need to be strong enough to hold their own without competing with the dress. And no matching orange shoes, please! A stylish neutral shoe like a jute espadrille wedge or a strappy gold sandal would be very chic. When you are looking for the perfect bridesmaid jewelry to give as gifts, the same idea applies. Bridesmaid jewelry gifts like big white pearls or substantial silver pieces are a better option than orange jewelry, which would be too much of a good thing.

If you are hoping to create bridesmaid bouquets that are colorful but formal, you can find roses in an amazing array of orange hues, including coral, bright orange, and peach. Mix in hypericum berries and rusty orange parrot tulips for bouquets that are rich and multi-dimensional. You can create beautifully old-fashioned bouquets by combining hotpink ruffled sweetpeas with some of the pretty shades of orange.

As bright as it is, orange can be a fantastic addition to any bridal party. Whether you choose to go with orange bridesmaid dresses, bouquets, or both, you will find that the cheerful nature of orange will make your wedding feel even more festive and fun.
