Spring Wedding Colors: Tangerine and Lime

If you've set your wedding date for the spring, you want to start planning and a really great, fresh spring color scheme is tangerine and lime. 

Picture a bowl of fresh citrus fruit, and you will see how well these two contrasting colors in fact complement each other nicely.  They will add a modern and exuberant feel to any spring or summer wedding.

These colors can be used in a bright, fun atmosphere or can be toned down by a crisp white addition. This theme doesn't have to stop with just favors, it can be used throughout your planning in decor, ceremony accessories, reception accessories and even fashion.

If you match your colors correctly,  you can try mixing and matching different prints and patterns for your tablescape. For example, try lime and tangerine scroll patterned napkins over a tablecloth striped with tangerine, lime, and white.  The ending result will be bright and wonderful. 

Many brides are straying from the "all white" wedding gown and adding a touch of color to spice things up. Lime and tangerine accents will make a striking difference in any wedding dress! This look can also be followed through with the bridal party, especially the bridesmaid dresses. To complete the total look, you can have bridesmaid jewelry custom made in your wedding colors. An addition of bright Swarovksi crystals will add depth, style and sparkle to any ensemble!

Because your color scheme essentially revolves around fruit, you can add actual fruits to your decor to keep it fresh and colorful.  Fill a beautiful glass pitchers with limeade, tangerine juice, and lemonade at the venue or location. A unique way to incorporate the citrus fruit would be to fill clear tall cylinders with the limes and tangerines submerged in water. These make excellent centerpieces!
