Orange Accents For Weddings

Orange accents used with gray are popular color combinations for both summer and fall weddings. Thinking of some bright orange for a hot summer day to cool down the temps? Or maybe a autumn wedding, using the orange to pull in the autumn colors of leaves, pumpkins or Thanksgiving?
 
Choose an orange tie and pocket square with an orange boutonniere to brighten a grey tuxedo and add some orange flowers to the bouquets of the bridesmaids and even the bride.
 
Below see the orange sparkle shoes. This particular pair is an older style but you can make your own using orange glitter (see older posts on making your own gold glitter shoes.)

Looking for more ideas on how to incorporate orange into your wedding day? See the inspiration board below. My favorite is the bouquet in the center. There's also another orange tie for you to consider. There are plenty of ways to add orange to your wedding. You've previously seen how we can use pumpkins and gourds for centerpieces. So decide how much orange you want to use and then choose how you will add it to your wedding and reception.

Jeweled Pumpkins For Autumn Weddings

Jeweled pumpkins are perfect for an autumn wedding. This pumpkin, designed by Kathy at Life On Lakeshore Drive, is made from a fake white pumpkin (is there any other kind for a DIY project that you want to be able to make ahead of time for your wedding?) and a scrapbook decal from the local hobby store. The hardest part? Carefully applying the decal. For details on how to make this perfect wedding accent, visit Kathy's blog. I'm in awe Kathy! Nice work.
 
More pumpkin ideas here, and here, and here, and here, and here. More pumpkins and/or gourd centerpieces for autumn looks are posted here, and here (one of my favorites), and here. OK, I guess you have plenty of pumpkin ideas to work with. Let me know if you have any great ideas, link them in the comments, always love your input.
