I'm getting married in march 2014 and our main colours are ivory and orange but I think I might have a bit of chocolate brown in there as orange may look awful if over done. Was thinking me in ivory with orange flowers, bridesmaids in brown with orange sash and white flowers. Orange chair sashes chocolate orange cake. Centre pieces are white and orange calla Lilly's with chocolate favors.... Any advice would be good :) xxx

I think orange and brown look great together. Love the BM dress idea.

that'll be gorgeous!! you could even use chocolate orange after eights or terry's singles in little bags/boxes as favours...mmmm
This is exactly like mine! Our BMs dresses are chocolate with an orange sash, and the flower girl is in orange with a chocolate sash. We are having cherry brandy roses, cream roses and pine cones in our bouquets. Really rustic, autumnal looking. x

I am having orange and purple, I was going to go for chocolate brown with it but decided on purple. I think it is a great combo tho! I love my orange theme, I am struggling a bit to find orange things tho but I have 2 years to find them! My cousin is great at sourcing things out for me but I struggles so much in hobbycraft - the main reason I brought in purple too!
Good luck! xxx

I saw an orange themed wedding on Don't Tell the Bride and even though the bride said earlier in the program "i hate brights, i'd hate something like orange" it all looked so nice that when she saw it she loved it. Also I think that well know supermarket starting with a W does a chocolate and orange wedding cake! Sounds yummy.
