For the past several years, orange and fuchsia have been paired with lime green to create a hot and spicy color palette.  Some Indian couples especially have been using the scheme to modernize the more traditional, deeper colors of Indian weddings and ceremonies.  Orange and Fuchsia can also be paired with yellow for an unusual twist, or black for a more sophisticated atmosphere.

What’s so fabulous about these colors, besides being the epitome of summer heat and fun, are that they occur so easily and naturally in flowers, meaning your decorations will be a cinch.  That, and the popularity of these two colors – together and separately – means you’ve got a wide variety of bridesmaid dresses, accessories, and favors to choose from, all in different styles so you can either be modern and trendy OR vintage and unique all under these two color umbrellas.

We handled a wedding back in 2008 with this color scheme, and it was an absolute blast.  The vibrant hues of the centerpieces off-set the brilliant white linens and chairs, but we amped up the linen during cocktails to create the party atmosphere.

These colors are not for the shy bride, but they are definitely for the trendy one!

Thanks to theknot.com for the wedding reception view, with the luscious shoes and purse the right fun touch!  Love the orange and chocolate vest and fuchsia bouquet with a bit of black, but the little mini bridesmaid dress is super cute.
