Continuing on from last month and our discussion of using Tennessee orange as the main color for your wedding, here are some more ideas and resources to show your loyalty to the Vols, even on your big day. Luckily, orange being the bright, cheery color that it is, it makes an ideal color for weddings in spring, summer, or even fall. Mixed with golds and warm browns, it conjures up thoughts of autumn. Put it with white, a little greenery, and even some pink, and you have a color match suitable from spring through summer.
Your devotion to orange can start with the invitations. You can find an array of stylish choices at InviteSite.
The biggest way to incorporate Tennessee orange is in the outfits worn on the day. I have spoken to dressmakers who have made everything from tuxedos to bridesmaids gowns and even wedding dresses in orange. It could be as simple as the men wearing orange ties and the bridesmaids having an orange sash, all the way up to a full on explosion of Vols support. (Be forewarned though that not everyone in the wedding may share your love of Tennessee sports).
Alternatively, you could have orange décor. Your caterer and reception host will be able to help with this. A simple table decoration can look stylish and be the perfect offset to your orange wedding cocktail (see last month’s entry on orange cocktails).
The key thing to remember when planning a wedding theme around a certain color is to have fun. Sometimes less is more. A small posey of orange roses against a white dress can be elegant and stunning. On the other hand, match your personalities. If you are both loud and proud Tennessee fans, and it suits your style to be decked out from top to toe, go for it!
