Pantone | Tangerine Tango + Afloral

Ever since the Pantone Color Institute announced that the reddish-orange shade called ' Tangerine Tango' has been chosen as the 2012 color of the year, I've received a few emails asking about subtle, modest ways to incorporate it into a wedding theme. With a color such as tangerine, it's important to compliment your intended color palette with "pops of color" instead of overpowering and taking away from the other design elements. One simple and effective way to do this is by accenting your floral decor.

To provide some inspiration, I reached out to the flower pros over at AFloral to see if they could recommend any specific products or bouquet trends that related to this new Pantone hue. They were certainly up for the task. Below are their top 10 picks that can help any bride gracefully apply some Tangerine Tango to their big day. Click on any photo to visit their website and don't forget to visit the awesome Shop By Color Guide!

Vegetables, sparklers, and caped crusader boys in this starry wedding

Heather and Jeremy were married at Noah's in Arizona during sizzling July (110 degree heat, ya'll). On top of braving the heat, they had a football toss instead of bouquet toss, boys in capes instead of ring bearers, and bouquets and boutonnières made of vegetables by How Appropriate. All of that plus the starry details makes this a sight to see. Thanks to Jared at Platt Photography for letting us in on this amazing party.
