Tangerine tango is the color of the season, as recently announced by Pantone, and also  seen on the runway in Diane von Furstenberg’s Spring 2012 collection! It is a brilliant  red-orange and has a fun, bright presence. Softer corals, peaches and neutrals are great to mix in, or bring energy and enthusiasm to the day by going bright with neon. What a fun idea for a wedding color scheme, to encourage the celebration a wonderful new marriage.

Ranunculus is a fabulous flower to consider using for your spring wedding design, because they have such a voluptuous presence. With an abundance of petals, similar to a peony, the ranunculus comes in a multitude of sizes and striking colors.  As an added bonus, ranunculus symbolizes radiant charm, so bouquets of these flowers proclaim a message that the recipient  is charming or attractive.  They are great to use as a boutonniere as well. Take a look at this bride, who used ranunculus for her “Parisian Masquerade” wedding http://www.elizabethannedesigns.com/blog/2011/04/20/blue-green-orange-french-inspired-wedding/ and also these Spring 2012 Wedding theme ideas http://www.marry2012.com/wedding-planning/spring-wedding-theme-ideas-2012.html.
