Pantone announced that Tangerine Tango is the 2012 Color of the Year and it is showing up everywhere in weddings!

I have to admit when I heard the color of the year I was a little disappointed (I have never been a huge fan of orange; red hair and all :)) but when I saw Tangerine Tango I instantly knew it would be a great color for weddings.  Tangerine Tango is much deeper than a traditional orange and can be paired with so many different colors and give a different feeling depending on the shade it is paired with.  You can also use Tangerine Tango in any season if it is paired with the right color.  Here are some of my favorite pairings with Tangerine Tango as well as some tips to using this 2012 Color of the Year.

Tangerine and Navy

Tangerine and Turquoise

Tangerine and Gold

Tangerine and Purple

No need to worry about bridesmaid dresses to match. The Dessy Group has bridesmaid dresses in Pantone’s actual colors.  You can even order chiplettes of the actual color to give to vendors for planning so they can match everything perfectly! So cool!

Are you having a Tangerine Tango wedding?  What do you think of the 2012 Color of the Year?

We would love to know!

Happy Planning!
