Citrus Styled Inspiration by Melissa McCrotty Photography

Pink and Orange is one of my absolute favorite color combinations- plus it reminds me of a favorite event planner in Dallas, Todd Events! This citrus styled shoot plays up the rustic elements found in natural Arkansas. The Barn at Twin Oaks Ranch supplied the venue, and we have featured them before right here! I love the mix of greenery with blooms, it is one of my favorite trends! I hope it is here to stay! Melissa Mcrotty captured the shoot that was inspired by the chic barn & the love of hot colors against a rustic background. Bliss Salon helped to beautify the bride dressed in a gown from Formal Affairs.

Add a POP of Color into Your Wedding with Chartreuse!

Neon is taking over the fashion world and it is only a matter of time till we see it on our brides! These colors are bold and fabulous; when used in the right way they can make a huge impact with a little effort. When using chartreuse it is important to maintain a neutral background. For example, don’t use chartreuse table skirts- use chartreuse napkins. The smaller, the better! Some of my favorite chartreuse ideas come from The Perfect Palette’s pinterest- check it out!

Pink, Gold & Orange Weding

Pink, Gold & Orange has become a favorite color theme in the wedding world! This color palette follows the fashion trend of color-blocking and can be easily achieved at your wedding. The citrus colors are toned down by the strong gold and everything looks glamorous. My inspiration comes from a DIY American Apparel coral clutch that was dipped in gold paint.

Wedding invitations can set the theme for your wedding. An e-mail RSVP lets your guests know that the wedding is casual, while a ten piece wedding invitation and mail-RSVP sets a dignified tone. Continue the pink, gold, and orange theme at your bridal showers and bachelorette parties. Pink cookies with your new monogram are the perfect snack! If your reception venue is simple, then keep your bridesmaids in your citrus colors! Pair this orange and pink dress with gold heels.

Pink, Gold, and Orange can be continued in flowers and table decorations. If the citrus is too bold for you, use greenery and pale pink flowers along with diamond brooches to tone the color theme down. Gold chargers are a necessary table accessory and can be used with white china and pink linens. Pink and orange flowers complete the look. The citrus color theme is vibrant against a white backdrop. Good luck recreating this look brides!
