I know what you’re thinking.  Orange and yellow?  Like a candy corn?  Are you entirely sure you want to go there?  The answer is a resounding “yes!”.  I’m quite sure.  As a matter of fact, this color combination is going to absolutely sweep you off your feet.  I myself would never have considered this for my wedding, but after seeing some of the amazing ways you can implement this scheme, my mind is completely changed.  The bright hues are so invigorating, cheerful, fiery and striking, yours is a wedding that surely won’t be forgotten.
