Infusing Taylor Swift Orange Into Your Wedding Day

With the announcement of Taylor Swift's upcoming album (and subsequently, her new era), orange has emerged as the official colorwash, taking the throne as the new go-to hue. This is huge news for weddings, and if you're a Swiftie looking to incorporate "Taylor Swift Portofino Orange" into your big day, look no further.

Reception Tables

"If you want to make orange the star of your wedding tablescape, feature shades of orange at least three times in the design. For example, orange in your charger, napkin, your florals. Or an orange menu, orange candles, and orange glassware. Three orange elements is the magic number to make orange the hero. To showcase orange beautifully, build and layer your colors like a sunset. Anchor with true orange, then layer orange tones that have yellow and red while keeping orange the dominant hue." —Kate Hickey, Sunshower Weddings

Wedding Signage

"Signage that coordinates with signature drinks is the perfect way to bring an orange pop to your décor!  Statement signage provides a layer of interest, makes the room look intentional, and complements your design. Everyone loves to be included, and what better way than with a signature drink that has the same orange pop. This ties in all the décor of the day and is an interactive element that allows your guests to be part of the bigger picture." —Theresa Jatko, Theresa Jatko Designs

Balance the Orange with Contrast

"Are you unsure if you should use the color orange in your wedding? Understanding how it works with complementary and contrasting tones can help you design a cohesive look. Use the color wheel to help guide you. Look at the colors that are opposite to orange; those are the most complementary colors, like blue. If you look at the colors next to orange, those are contrasting colors; you can use them in conjunction with orange to create a color block, like using red-orange (warmer, leaning toward red), yellow-orange (warmer, leaning toward yellow)." —Mary Angelini, Key Moment Films

Wedding Stationery

"The wedding stationery is always a safe place to play with color, so incorporating unexpected pops of orange, or even glittery orange, can be a fun twist on the more popular wedding color palettes. While the invitation itself can be kept neutral if preferred, couples can be a bit more playful with the enclosure cards and use a daring orange cardstock. Envelope liners can also have a shock of orange to further tie the color in without it being overwhelming. If you prefer to go the more subtle route, adding a ribbon wrap or wax seal to the invitation suite can be a sly way to incorporate a bit of orange. Alternatively, couples can really run with the theme and add orange-themed artwork to their stationery, such as florals, patterns or even imagery of actual oranges." —Kelley Nudo, Momental Designs

Unexpected Florals

"Lean into the warmth and vibrancy of orange through unexpected floral pairings. Think marigolds, ranunculus, and golden poppies mixed with softer tones like blush or peach. Elevate the color palette with a pop of citrus. It’s a confident color choice as it's playful, unexpected, and very Taylor." —Amos Gott, Amos Events

Edible Options

"One of 2025's biggest wedding trends has been incorporating edible elements into wedding decor. Citrus fruits are the perfect way to lean into this trend during the orange era! We love the mixture of oranges, grapefruits, and lemons to create a creamsicle spectrum, rather than a singular orange tone." —Marissa MacLeod, Lightner Museum Weddings & Events

Create a Warm Glow

"Just like Taylor's Easter eggs, it's okay if the orange you incorporate into your day is on the subtle side. If you want your space to appear soft without overpowering the entire setting, think about foundational lighting. Uplights, gobos, or projected patterns in orange or amber will add a warm glow that is both stylish and functional." —Kevin Dennis, Fantasy Sound Event Services

Think Pumpkin Spice

"Fall is right around the corner, and one of my favorite palettes is that warm pumpkin spice! Whether it be on the linens, through the floral in the centerpieces, or even in an amber glass hurricane with candles in it, we love seeing that orange color peek through in all of our fall events.” —Meaghan Cody, Sweet Pea Events

Food & Beverage Options

"Another way to incorporate orange tones into your wedding day in a natural and subtle yet beautiful way is to decorate with your food and drink menu! An aperol spritz as a signature cocktail will inject a pop of color into your photos and is a drink option that is generally appealing to many guests, and can be served as an alcoholic and non-alcoholic option." —Anna Solo, Anna Solo Photography

Bridesmaids Dresses

"We predict that burnt orange/rust bridesmaid dresses will continue to trend even more than they already have. This color palette plays well with a boho dessert wedding theme, and is a very flattering color on all complexions/skin tones." —Jen Avey, DestinationWeddings.com
