Bees, I need your opinions. I'm sooo indecisive about wedding colors. I love orange but i'm not sure what to pair it with. I listed my possible ideas in the poll but feel free to suggest other combinations My wedding will be the end of July in a new, indoor venue. Thanks!
I've always liked this picture that has different shades of orange/yellow.

I love orange and green together. There are some simply stunning boquets I have seen incorporating orange and green, and then a little bit of brown with curly willow or fiddlefern heads. I think it's a great, intriguing color combo that offers lots of options.
Since it's a summer wedding i would stay away from the brown it would make it look too much like fall. I think if you did different shades or orange and through in some yellow and pink it would look great. these are pics from my cousin's wedding.

Orange and hot pink is mine - love it. Or a strong blue can work.

Aqua! A friend of mine did aqua and orange and it was so pretty. Especially for a summery July wedding!
I was going to say cream/ white, but the PPs pictures of orange and purple change my mind. Now I say purple too!
i think purple or grey would be cute. depends on time of year and venue choice though.
Blue! Here's a pic of my girls...I think they look fantastic.

Either purple or pink. Or maybe the blue or teal. I'd definitely not do orange and yellow, or brown either. I think you need another fun, bright color.
@sarasd...I LOVE the colour of your girls dresses!!! wow. Stunning!
What about using just orange....and different shades of orange? i think it would be gorgesous!
I am doing eggplant with burnt orange accents, so I am all about the purple! For summer I also love aqua blue or hot pink.

Grey! It really lets the orange color be the main focus!
Here's the blog I pulled this from - it has some great inspiration boards to help you decide what other colors you can have with orange.

I think Aqua would look great with the orange.

No pics yet, but I used purple and orange at the end of July :)
(although if I'd seen that orange and grey 10 months ago when I started planning, it may have been different!)
I think a citrus theme would be nice for the end of July. Orange, yellow, green and white.
Love the orange and grey, love orange and green. These are both more modern combinations. Both great for summer!
Orange, taupe, ivory & brown could be beautiful, rustic & light.
Orange, green, ivory & taupe could be great.
I would first decide if you are stuck on a tux/suit color. My husband wanted black pinstripe... so black got integrated. If your FH is really drawn to one color, it could help you make a decision.
I think it depends on what time of year and what "feel" you want your wedding to have. Orange and brown would be great for a fall wedding, but orange and yellow would be nicer for a summer one!
We did orange and dark blue (not quite navy). We were married in May, so we kept the oranges bright. We did different shades of orange in the flowers, the girls wore blue dresses, FH had a orange sash, and we had other different orange accents in our decor.
I also love the orange and purple, orange and aqua and orange and royal blue! They look sharp, bright and colorful for a beautiful summer wedding! I think orange and brown is too fall-ish. (Although if it's what you want, go for it!)
sooo many options! thanks for the ideas. I'm still confused. I think deathbydesign is right that is really depends on the feel of wedding I want. I have a really elegant wedding venue so i'm don't my colors look too childish. Yet I like playful colors. I really like that picture of the red, orange and yellow BM dresses together. It kinda reminds me of a sunrise (ie new beginnings and such) hmm... possible inspiration??
Also, love the idea of different oranges. or Lots of white. and green and orange would let me use plants and nature decorations...
But i'm intrigued by color combos I didn't even think of... like the gray or aqua. any more thoughts/ideas appreciated.
We're doing sage green and shades of orange - we have burnt orange accents, flowers in a couple shades, and peach in my dress and the trim on the bridesmaids. And the men will be in charcoal grey. Of course, our wedding is also in October. :)
Since you're having a summer wedding, I'd recommend keeping your colors bright - the citrus theme mentioned earlier would be lovely! - and maybe have your men in light grey, tan, or some other lighter color.
Of course, the other suggestions and inspirations posted here are wonderful as well!
I love, love, LOVE bright colors! I totally would have had a bright orange and lime green wedding, but FI wanted to get married in the fall, and I knew there was no way I'd get my bridesmaids to wear either of those colors!
Oooh there are so many beautiful combinations! I can see why you are having trouble choosing! Personally, I like orange and purple, or orange and cream - I think they are sophisticated, but still fun! Hmmm... maybe you could do orange, purple and cream...
It wasn't until I saw all the pictures in this post, but I change my vote from Yellow to blue or gray!
I am doing orange and gray for my wedding next month...My two bridesmaids are wearing gray dresses and I'm wearing gray shows, but pretty much everything else other than some table runners will be orange. If you need any orange decorations, let me know...I will be selling a bunch of stuff after the wedding, including paper lanterns, crate and barrel vases, tea light holders with orange stones and orange dalia napkin ring holders.
I LOVE orange and teal together. Too beautiful colors that just work together! : )

Another vote for bright pink. Those are my colors and I lurve them!
@aunt pol - Those flowers are stunning!
We used orange and chocolate brown in March. Totally worked great and did not at all look too much fall/autumn. We didn't have pumpkins or mums or anything like that!!
@neontl: i love that board! I was going to put a picture of it up, but i see you already did.lol. I love the idea of orange and grey.
