Summer wedding colors, too much?????

Our wedding will be in June 2012 in Tennesee at an outdoor venue with wedding Gazebo and surrounding green plants, no colored flowers on site so it's a blank slate.

I have chosen Fuschia and Tangerine as my wedding colors with green as an accent but I almost worry it's too much bright colors. It is summer so it seems appropriate and I wanted a bright pink in the mix, but I seem to be getting some concerns from wedding party over the tangerine color. I'm a burnt orange fan for life, GO LONGHORNS, so I have no issue with oranges but my feelings are not universal.

Should I try out some different combos or stick with my gut? After all I am the one who will have to LOVE it and live with it.

I think the colors sound really nice together. I love orange as well!

My wedding is outdoors next summer and I am doing a purple, green, and orange color scheme...very close to what you are doing. I think it is a fun, bright combo! If the bridesmaids are concerned about orange maybe have the dresses fushia and use orange in the bouquets and decorations (I know not all people like to wear orange)

These are my colors! Good choice :) I am using orange tablecloths & pink bridesmaids, trying to have the colors complement and balance eachother.

My bff's wedding was tangerine and fuschia. She had us BMs in fuschia with bouquets of orange gerber daisies. It looked amazing! It really is a great color combo!

I think they are great colors! My only advice is to use the color sparingly for a pretty pop; be careful to not oversaturate with color. If I were in your shoes, I would do: white table linens with a runner of a subtle orange pattern with flowers in the fuschia family with little accents of orange blossoms, white blossoms & green berries. It will be SO pretty! Good luck!!

I think bright colors for a summer wedding are a must! lol The fushia and tangerine make a great color combo. I would have the BM's in the Fushia and accent with the tangerine. Sometimes the tangerine could be too over powering and may not look good on everyone. Orange flowers would also look nice with the fushia dresses.

We had thought about the tangerine color for our wedding, but after my brother said my BM's would need to wear green beanies, I decided against that color. I wanted my BM's to feel special on our day too, so we choose pool blue and fushia. My BM's are wearing a short length pool blue dress that if they wanted to, could wear again to other events. My flower girl and guest book attendant will be in a fushia colored dress.

Those are my colors too! I put the girs in pink with orange bouquets and I have a pink bouquet. The tablecloths are pink and orange with lace overlays and satin (cream to match the lace) overlays. The pink dresses make the girls happy ( I know a lot of people aren't tangerine fans for clothes) and the lace overlay keeps the tablecloths from being overwhelming.
