We used Pantone’s color of the year (Tangerine) and paired it with silver and goldenrod for a chic summer wedding color palette. A designers tip: use 60% of the main color, 30% of the secondary and 10% for the accent throughout your event as a rough guide. For a stunning tabletop using these colors; pair an orange tablecloth with silver chargers/plates accented with yellow napkins and flowers. For invitations, we used the Sunset orange and Goldenrod for these custom printed invitations from Formal-Invitations.com ($164/100), paired with an envelope with a silver liner. Bridesmaids wearing the vibrant orange hue, could add silver shoes and jewelry, while carrying a yellow based bouquet.

Pantone, the global authority on color, announced Tangerine Tango, a vivacious, enticing orange hue, as the color of the year for 2012. ”The 2011 color of the year, Honeysuckle [pink], encouraged us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.”
We love this vibrant hue and used in these beautiful orange wedding invitations.
