Last year the colour was ‘Honeysuckle’, this year Pantone has announced ‘Tangerine Tango’ as the colour of the year for 2012. Described as a spirited reddish orange, it is definitely a vibrant colour and has a real ‘wow’ factor to it. I will be interested to see if it’s popularity grows over the year as brides-to-be look for something new and fresh to add to their weddings.
Tangerine can be used as a pop of colour against neutrals, camel and greys for a warm, subtle effect. I loved this gorgeous inspiration found on Green Wedding Shoes for a winter wedding. You can find more stunning pictures from this shoot here – Winter wedding ideas – Snowed In.
I love this combination of tangerine and tiffany blue I saw on Style me Pretty, very pretty and sophisticated.
Team tangerine and fuscia to create a vibrant, fun and colourful wedding.

You could either opt for tangerine bridemaids dresses or maybe go for neutral dresses and a splash of orange in the bouquets.

As for wedding stationery, Poppiseed Designs has many designs that would look great in tangerine!

There is an old saying “blue and green should never be seen”, but I don’t believe that at all!
Blue and green seem to be the colour of the moment as we have been sending out so many invitations in different shades of these colours. From sage and sea green to aqua and baby blue, they are definitely the most popular colours chosen for invitations right now.
When grouping a few of the different blue and green invitations together, they looked so pretty and complimented each other so well that I felt inspired to create an inspiration board based on a blue and green wedding. I love the effect of combining soft and bright blues along with sage, mint and sea green. This colour palette is so pretty and fresh, it just makes me think of cool summer breezes and after dinner mints!

I always enjoy seeing how different one of our invitations can look by just simply changing the colours. Colours can change the whole feel of a piece of stationery. We include colour changes to most of our invitation ranges, as a free service, to encourage our couples to create an invitation that suits their wedding perfectly.
Here are a couple of colour changes we have made for some recent customers that made the invitations uniquely theirs.
This is our Mary-Jane wedding invitation printed in our blue C37.
This is our Pink Peony wedding stationery in sage green C47 and caramel brown C50 text.
This is our Newbury engagement invitation printed as a wedding invitation in black and pink C23. I also created additional stationery items to match like wishing well cards and table numbers.
If you would like any further information on colour changes to our stationery please contact us.

I am so pleased to introduce our latest stationery design ‘Polkadottie‘ to our store! I have created this fun, red and blue polka dot inspired wedding inspiration board to show the kind of wedding I had in mind when designing this suite.
It is all about a fun wedding day filled with quirky and playful accessories with a retro vintage flavour!

This inspiration board was inspired by an intricate patterned china tea cup in the bold colours of white and navy blue. This colour palette may be simple, but it is definitely elegant. There is something timeless and classic about a strong deep navy blue paired with crisp snow white.
For a daytime wedding use white as the main colour with a splash of navy blue to complement it and for an evening wedding you can use navy as the more dominant colour with white touches throughout.
Incorporate navy blue into your wedding with a pair of gorgeous navy blue shoes poking out from beneath your white wedding dress, a table setting of mismatched blue and white china or bridesmaids dressed in various shades of dark blue.

You can’t help but feel happy and cheery with this zesty summer colour palatte of tangerine and yellow. Our newest wedding stationery design ‘Flora’ screams fun, flirty and summer! These bright colours look fabulous for a beach wedding or a garden wedding. You could decorate table settings with lemons and oranges, beautiful poppies and checkered linens. To add to the summery atmosphere serve zesty yellow and orange cocktails, lemon cupcakes and nothing is more fun than a candy bar!

This inspiration board was created around our ‘Vintage Lace‘ wedding invitation, which I thought suited a vintage inspired summer afternoon wedding glowing in a palette of sage green, tangerine orange, peach and cream. Imagine a warm summer afternoon filled with wide brimmed hats, the clinking of glasses and a game of croquet. I love the idea of a lavish dinning table and chairs setup in a country style garden where an afternoon gathering could turn into a romantic night with the addition of some lanterns and fairy lights hanging in trees.
