PAPER PRODUCTS
I think these invites really scream what tangerine tango is really all about, vibrant, alive, vivacious and Spring. It’s hard to choose which one I love more 
Tangerine certainly doesn’t have to be the main color on your wedding invitation or paper products. What is great about this color is that it can stand alone or be an accent.
A great accent to the cocktail hour are these perfectly tangerine colored cocktail napkins.
These tangerine tango straws will make your signature cocktail much more exciting because of the WOW color.
Paper cranes are a really creative and a modern napkin embellishment (sitting on your napkin at your dinner table for decor). It is a great pop of tangerine tango color to livin’ up your wedding reception tables.
Looking to hang something fun at your ceremony site in the trees above where you will marry? Or how about above your escort card table or even your cake table? These tangerine tango tissue pom pom balls are really fun and playful.
These escort cards are really fun sitting in pink gumballs. Tangerine is a really versatile color, not only doesn’t it look great on most skin tones, but also looks great paired with many different color tones, if not all.
DRINKS & SWEETS
A great way to dress up your cocktail hour, have these tangerine colored martinis passed to your guests.
The pattern on this cake is elegant, hip, and whimsical all at the same time. The color really makes this cake stand out; a great combo of colors for the Fall 2012 weddings.
These tangerine tango sugar flowers are a complimentary addition to this almost tangerine tango cake with blush colored similar flowers.
Can this cake get any more Pantone Color 2012 cheerful… pinwheels always make you feel happy!
The piping on this cake is gorgeous!!
If you are cupcake kinda person, consider only accenting with a tangerine colored cupcake wrappers and not tangerine colored frosting to avoid looking like a birthday party.
Looking to make more of a big splash with color, try a tangerine tango sugar rim on your martini glasses at your reception.
WEDDING DECOR
One of my favorite color calla lilies are called the orange flame calla lily. It is perfect to pull off that Tangerine color for 2012, plus offer a little more dimension than a plain orange.
This bouquet offers a lot of depth with color as well, and it accents with the tangerine tango rose, yet because it is so vibrant, it takes the cake amongst the other flowers.
Wheat is such a unique centerpiece idea, and it goes perfect with the tangerine tango runner.
Tangerine Tango chiavari chairs and lanterns hanging from the ceiling… love love love!
These flowers balls are perfect for the entry into your wedding ceremony, cocktail, or dinner reception… these could even be fun hanging at your ceremony altar.
This bed of ceremony petals in our color of the hour as well as stunning orchids wired into string are to die for.
DIY Tangerine Tango… Too cute!
Tangerine Tango Tulips! Love love love when they open up and show their face.
Love these gorgeous ranunculus. Perfect for Spring!
