Orange Themed Weddings | Wedding Decoration and Ideas

Following on the orange theme from the previous article where we focused on orange tones for bridal lehnga, this article offers up some ideas on how to have a orange color scheme for your wedding theme.

Orange theme weddings are usually done in the fall or the summer season. But it is not wholly inappropriate to have an orange theme wedding now either! And it is certainly an appropriate choice of color for South Asian weddings. And choosing orange color for your wedding color scheme will brighten up your wedding (especially if it is being held during the winter months).

Check out these inspirational ideas for an orange themed wedding.

Indian Bridal Lehnga With Orange Tones

There are few colors that are suitable for almost all shades of the Indian skin tone. Gold is one of them. And orange, which is the focus of today's article is another great color for Indian brides. Orange-gold tones brighten up the face of most Indian brides. It also exudes an overall look of vibrancy and indulgent richness.

If you are in doubt, try on a few different colored outfits, and compare yourself in the mirror. Remember, every individual has its own color - don't go by what is in fashion, or what you've seen on a model that looks great. Be sure to see if it's suitable for you - cause it's your wedding and you want to shine on that day.

Here's a few orange-gold bridal lehnga outfits to help you get started.
