It's been a while since I did my 'colour study' series. It started off with red since it's a colour I struggle with a lot of the time (although oddly I am attracted to it for home furnishings right now... in a rustic, ticking cloth, burlap kinda way :-), and I was showing the ways in which I do like it. So I'm moving onto Orange today... a colour I do like but you don't actually see used all that often in weddings. To see the previous posts click here for red, and here and here for blue.
This is probably one of my favourite ways to use orange, in a burnt shade with rustic elements, mixing it up with warm ochres, and browns... obviously quite an autumnal colour scheme. Burlap would be a must have!!

An unexpected but super pretty combination. You often see colours like these in more exotic weddings... especially Indian weddings, but I think it works perfectly for a softer romantic look as well, with the deeper beet anchoring it. Invitation: Mayfair

Another favourite, mixing up soft apricot shades with earthy olives and warm taupes. You don't often see men wearing suits in this shade but for the right wedding I think it looks fab. And the flower options are endless with this combo. Invitation: Oiseau

Guess what?... i can't pick a favorite... they all look so well together!!!
Orange is one of my favourite wedding colours, seriously. It can be soft and romantic, bright and bold, subtle and warming... I love it...
The Lavender and Beet is quite a nice combination so is taupe and olive (that's because I love taupe)... Looking forward to the rest.
Each combination is more gorgeous than the last-you are such an amazing artist!
Oh I miss these. They are equally gorgeous but I have a little weak spot for ochre & donkey one.
What a fresh spin, Kate! These are simply stunning!
Kate ~ seriously you blow me away!!!! Your way with color is a gift, and boy oh boy do you use it spectacularly! I love each one of these for a variety of reasons. But I do have to tell you that the lavender and beet makes for such a beautiful palette...never thought of it before! Thank you bunches for always inspiring me ;-)))
