It’s time to Spice Up Your ‘I Do’: with this Rust Orange Wedding Guide. Let’s paint your wedding day in hues that scream style and sophistication. And guess what’s setting the trend charts on fire? Rust Orange!
Now, I know what you’re thinking—orange for a wedding? But hold that thought! It’s all about the rich, sultry, and downright majestic shade of rust orange that’s stealing the show.
So, you want to rock this color on your big day? Here’s the lowdown on how to pull off the ultimate rust orange extravaganza:
Set the Tone with Stationary:
Stationary: Use rust orange as the primary color or in accents on invitations, save-the-dates, menus, and more. Think elegant with hints of orange—subtle, yet still makes a statement.
Signage: Incorporate the color into welcome signs, seating charts, or even playful photo booth props.
Dress to Impress:
Bride or Groom: For the bold, think about incorporating the color into your attire. It could be a subtle detail in the bouquet, a hint in the groom’s suit lining or tie, or even a daring pair of shoes. Own that color!
Bridal party: Here is where you can really play with the color. Use rust orange as the main hue but also consider mix and match bridesmaid dresses or even different textures to add visual interest. For the groomsmen, ties, pocket squares, or socks are a great way to add that pop of color. These details add a hint of vibrancy without overshadowing the main attire.
Floral Finesse:
Bouquets: Work with your florist to add rust orange flowers into your arrangements. For example, Dahlias, marigolds, or even spray roses can add that pop of color without overpowering the palette. Pair them with lush greenery or neutral-toned blooms to create balance.
Ceremony Decor: Fill the arch or backdrop with rust orange flowers and foliage to create a stunning focal point. Also think of unique ways to add decor, like rugs!
Tablescapes that Wow:
Accents: Opt for rust orange tablecloths or table runners paired with complementing neutral or metallic accents. This is also a great place to play with different textures of fabrics! Table numbers, name cards, and menus should maintain the color scheme to create a cohesive look.
Place Settings: Metallic cutlery or accents like gold-rimmed plates or copper utensils especially complement the rust orange tones very well. Use glassware, napkins, or even charger plates in to bring your table to life.
Delectable Delights:
Cocktails: Offer signature drinks in shades of rust orange, either through ingredients or garnishes.
Desserts: Think cookies, s’mores, a design on your wedding cake, or even a themed dessert bar showcasing the color.
Light it Up:
Candlelight: Use a range of oranges or complimenting colored candles or votives to add warmth and a touch of romance to your venue.
Uplighting: If the space allows, highlight architectural elements or focal points with lighting to enhance the warm, golden vibe. This will undoubtably take the venue space and your pictures to the next level!
Remember, the key is balance. Rust orange is a showstopper, but it plays best with complementary tones like deep greens, rich blues, or earthy neutrals. Don’t overdo it—let it shine in curated moments throughout your day.
