    Hi everyone,

    I'm planning my June wedding and have decided to go with an orange and green color scheme. Green is my absolute favorite color, and our wedding reception is going to be outdoors at the base of a beautiful mountain with lots of green as a backdrop.

    I'm leaning towards a soft, natural looking green (like kiwi or sage), with pops of bright orange color-not primary orange like a pumpkin, but more fruity like mango or tangerine. Some ideas we've had are to serve sangria with oranges and limes (my favorite drink!) and use sliced fruit in our centerpieces as well.

    I'm really pumped about this idea but could use any suggestions you may have! I'm struggling to find a nice orange for BM dresses-anybody have experience with this? Also, any suggestions about flowers in this color scheme? I love orange lilies and green hydrangeas, as a start...

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    What if you went for a green bridesmaids dress? It ups the chance of your girls being able to wear it again, unless they're like me and like bright colors. Snippet and ink has some great inspiration boards, but here's one just for kicks.

    My wedding sounds very similar to yours.. I'm using citrus colors- orange, yellow, & green and also decorating with those fruits. I plan on using a mixture of wildflowers and gerbera daisies in mason jars as my centerpieces. One of my best friends that is also getting married next year found the cutest tangerine orange bridesmaid dresses from david's bridal. They're strapless and have pockets too!!

    mine's green and orange also, and i decided to do pewter dresses with orange bouquets for the bms. the knot has a couple pages on the color scheme "pumpkin and wasabi" which is where I'm getting most of my inspiration from :)

    Our wedding was Orange and Green as well!  I cannot help with the BM dresses, though, as we did not have a wedding party.  I am attaching a picture of my bouquet for you.

    I'm attaching our inspiration board for our orange and green (with little touches of deep purple) wedding.  I decided to go with neutral colored bridesmaid dresses instead of orange ones in the end b/c it made my BMs happier.  Plus, we already have enough orange going on...
