The shell color would still go very nicely with the orange with peach as an accent color. I have this dress here in the shop so I am very familar with the color, orange would be beauitful and rich!

Our wedding is at the end of this month and we are using 'creamsicle' orange and a light green and ivory as our colours. Everything is coming together so well. The colours match the romantic feeling of the dress. I think it could be played both ways though, a bright orange would make it look more modern and the pastel type colours make it look more romantic. Either way I obviously love your dress!

Like some others have said here, you could even use one shade of orange (like a juicy, straightforward orange) as your primary color, then through in shades like apricot or vermillion as your accent colors. Whatever you choose, I know it's going to look beautiful!

I've recently really taken a liking to a good orange paired with a light light pink (shell) and white. Ultimately, if you like the way the look feels, go with it...everyone else will also (especially if you play it up with a matching signature drink or popsicles)!

I say go for a Pumpkin Spice type orange and throw in some Creme Cicle for added dimension. I think there is something about “Orange” that films absolutely stunning and would be just beautiful.

Warming up the orange with shades of apricot, peach and blush would be beautiful and very Spring"y." I agree with the comment by Danielle.

These days the color theme is like your belt, shoes and purse...in the old days everything had to match perfectly. Now it doesn't need to match at all so I recommend going with what you originally planned. Great dress!! Go with your original color palette!

Perhaps a little rose and blush would help as well.

If anything, you can use different shades of Orange here and there so blend with the shell. That dress is beautiful, by the way! Does anyone know the maker?
