Wedding Colors Set The Tone For This Summer Wedding
After setting the date, finding the church, finding a reception venue, dreaming about your gown … the next thought on your mind might be your wedding colors or color ‘palette’ as it’s lovingly referred to these days! Tara Pollio of tara pollio floral-event design sent us this beautiful wedding with a color palette of orange, chartreuse and pewter. Tara said, “The contrast of the bright orange and cool pewter were so unique and set the tone for a glamorous and fun wedding!”
tara pollio floral-event design specializes in signature destination weddings and events. She says, “Every design starts with a clean slate and is built around each client. If you can dream it, we can implement it. From your custom linens, event rentals and lighting professionals, we work only with the best. All of our flowers are brought in from around the globe, using specialty growers when possible. Our product is cut specifically for us and shipped overnight to ensure quality and freshness”
Devon and David’s August wedding was held at the Hildene Estate in Manchester, Vermont. The colors they chose effuse such a fun, warm, sophisticated sophisticated tone to the affair. Photography provided by Tara Pollio and Barrie Fisher.
I’m not sure what the best color palette “generator” programs are out there … but I do know that they exist. If anyone would like to leave a comment telling us what you’ve used that others might benefit from, please do!
Thank you, Tara for sending us Devon and David’s wedding. We LOVE the chic white couches paired with the perfect touches of natural Vermont charm!
www.colourlovers.com is a great site for colors, palettes, and patterns.
What a great color scheme! Just wondering where you bought those clear favor boxes...Ive been looking on websites for something like those and would love to know. Thanks!
http://kuler.adobe.com is an amazing color palette resource - they have a tool to upload and derive a color scheme from a favorite image.
I haven't seen that orange used in a wedding before but I LOVE it!
One of my favorites for getting color ideas is this site: />
You just type in a word or expression and you'll get colors related to it, so you can be as abstract as you like!

Beautiful Tara!!!
Tara - you continue to raise the bar for all floral designers here in Vermont - amazing wedding (even though i have seen it before!) - great to see it and share online - congratulations!
Does anyone know where the bridesmaids dresses are from? I am looking for orange dresses for my May wedding!
Orange is a color difficult to carry. But I think they chose the perfect shade and it's absolutely beautiful. The colors really pop out in these pictures. I liked the groom's bow tie and the cake decorated with fresh flowers. It's all so stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Wow they look amazing all synchronised with their peach dresses, which work so well in the summer lighting.
Love the group shots under the tree with the bench. The photograper was really thinking out of the box in order to get great shots in strong harsh sunlight.

Allison-the bridesmaids dresses are from JCrew.
Yes, The bride's maids dresses were J.crew and the cake actually had sugar flowers. The pastry chef is amazing- Irene Maston of Cakes by Irene. Thanks Tara
WOW! I love that bold choice of the orange sherbert
I am in love with the bride's dress.....designer?
It looks very Oscar de la Renta-ish....
The dress is gorgeous. Please do share the name of the designer!
I would love to see more pics of this wedding or other pictures with same color palette. I am getting married in May and using the same colors!! Great Pictures
The dress is definitely Oscar De la Renta because I’m lusting over it for my August 2009 wedding. Can anyone share a price before I fall too much in love.
I believe it is Oscar de la Renta, and it was featured in last Real Simple weddings for the right dress for my body type. I loved it...until I found out that it was around $10,000. Gorgeous dress on this young woman. I ended up getting one I love, but this one featured here was my first love!
I guess that dream is over :-)
Are those mini burgers?
I love the use of the spider mum and ruffley gerbera daisy!
Orange is fabulous, try mixing with aqua or blue for a real pop!
I'm doing peachy/orange for my May wedding and we're ordering bridesmaid dresses from Jenny Yoo in tangerine eastern silk shantung. J Crew also has a really nice orange this season.
Fabulous work. The colors really harmonize well. Nice work Tara!
Very impressive. Thanks for the inspiration!

wow!!! i have been stressing about the food for a while now did serve hamburgers and fries, were they cater , did you get them in those boxes pleeease let me know.
Hi Grecia! Yes, those are mini burgers and fries. The Caterer, www.thymetables.com does lot of fun end of evening "snacks"... her signature. She purchased the boxes from wholesale distributor, but try www.mrtakeoutbags.com
The bride had custom lables made. It is a great touch and a wonderful way to feed your guest who may have over indulged on the "pop" before they go home. Hope that helps! Tara
I love the orange color and the overall style of this wedding! Do you have more photographs?
I LOVE the idea of orange and these elegant looking colors. The particular color of orange is not my favorite at all, but maybe something a little more rich would be amazing for me!
My wedding colorfs were yellow and red. It was risky business, but I think it was pulled off.
I loved having orange as the main color in my wedding! (jcrew orange silk dresses) It was so fun and perfect for a late summer/fall wedding. Also, the way the orange popped against a foggy ocean during the ceremony was so dreamy...
www.crabbcakes.com for pictures!
Does anyone know who the photographer was for this wedding. I am getting married at Hildene next year, but am not from the area? Thank you!!!!
Green's appear to be the fashion colour of the moment for weddings in the UK. This is apparently linked to the organic and earth connotations of having an environmentally friendly wedding which are all the rage. Buying "green" wedding favours, using organic produce for the wedding catering etc. There is also the link to the earth that is making it a popular choice, I guess that people are becoming more aware of the world around them!
I just found this post and absolutely loved the colours in the wedding pictures - some fantastic work
Tim
Where can we obtain a sample to the dress color orange as shown on this above?
I really love this color and would like to find out more about the dresses etc.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you.
