Try out one of these trending colors right now.

Orange

"Tangerine Tango" has been named Pantone's Color of the Year for 2012. Don't get scared by one of fashion's chicest shades, rather use it as a starting point to play with complementary tones of amber, peach, and watermelon. San Francisco-based planner Laurie Arons immediately knew a peachy scheme would be best after visiting the venue and noting its gold-and-coral carpet. "It was serendipity!" laughs Arons. But choosing these colors wasn't just based on the venue: "Amber is very flattering to the skin" and helps create romantic photographs.

The bridesmaids carried bouquets packed with tulips, while the flower girls carried sweet baskets accented with green. A mini lounge inside featured several comfy couches in a lustrous deep peach gabric. French tulips in glass cylinders towered over rows of escort cards. The three-tiered wedding cake was accented with pale green ribbons and topped with flowers for a fresh look. In the reception room, pale peach dupioni table cloths were illuminated from above by amber spotlights. And each guest received a box of gourmet chocolates as the favor.
