Combining orange with white simply makes a statement. We love the freshness it brings and how easy it is to incorporate this colour scheme into your wedding.

These beautiful orange dresses for the bridesmaids, paired with white bouquets works so well. Dressing your man in grey is also an alternative option to the traditional black suit. Use mini oranges for seating tags to be extra quirky.

Getting your shoes dyed the colour of your wedding is the in thing, and photographers love playing around with this idea as well.

Getting your decor together in this colour scheme should also prove to be easy with many different flower options available.

Flowers such as roses, gerbera's, poppies and tulips are just but a few of the choices available.
