It has been cold and rainy on the east coast but this orange wedding has been a bright spot this week. The vibrant colors yet classic settings make this wedding fun and modern while still keeping it a formal affair. It was the best color palette for my last summery wedding plan. Hopefully this weekend have a bit more sunshine!

Those orange escort cards deserve the perfect reception setting and I think I’ve found just the one. This orange and white tent is fun yet refined – the perfect balance. Plus you know I love a good paper lantern, especially in bright color and especially in clusters of the same hue. These tables include the actual fruits and extend that pattern in the paper lanterns, also both orange and circular.

I also like the family-style reception tables. They give your wedding a more laidback, comfortable style. All around perfect for this week’s orange wedding.

Summer is dying down and the end of August is just a few days away. I love everything that fall has to offer – pumpkins, foliage, firewood and apple picking. Everything the fall season brings easily makes it my favorite. But I want to take one of my last chances to plan a bright summery wedding. This week I’m picking out the perfect bright orange wedding details.

Since this is a summer wedding, I don’t want to just pick out orange-colored items – I want to incorporate the actual fruits. Since they’ll be in season it can be a fun and inexpensive way to add the circular shape and natural bright pops of color without a huge price tag. Plus, how adorable are they as escort cards? And the bright orange plate helps tie it all together.

With Fall just around the corner, I’m inspired to plan an outdoor wedding. Just imagining all that rich foliage and greenery - with Christmas trees coming indoors soon after! - gets me excited. So this week I’m planning an outdoor, forest wedding utilizing all the natural shades of green for the wedding color palette.

This Salt Lake City wedding takes place in the perfect outdoor venue for the Fall. I like how this couple stepped away from the typical, waterfront-view outdoor wedding ceremony location and opted for something a little more rustic and autumnal. The trees, the stones, the circle of flower petals - I love it all.

And look at these lanterns hanging from the trees. If I didn’t already love the location, that definitely would have won me over.

Also, I can’t help but think of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. I know it may sound weird, but they both met their husbands (princes in fact so even better) in the middle of a forest which makes this setting seem that much more romantic.
