Orange is the New White

A showstopping orange-sherbet Milla London dress served as the launching point for this out-of-the-box design by Amore Coordination. With its use of elegant swaths of gentle orange and pops of bright blues, the team proved that avant-garde and traditional sensibilities don’t have to be mutually exclusive. “How will weddings be celebrated in the years to come?” the team at Amore asked itself. The answer was with luxe florals, eye-catching cuisine and an unexpected color palette—and all on a small scale in a stunning location. Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s wine country, Abbey Road Farm’s bucolic landscape provided a peaceful backdrop to the intimate affair. To tie the design together, the team incorporated shades of orange into the food itself. With its coral watercolor finish, the cake, by Michelle of Tres Belle Desserts, lent a modern touch as well as acted as a visual complement to the rest of the menu, which included smoked salmon on rye and Italian peach cookies. Songbird Floristry created a pillar of greenery that sat behind the king’s table and subtly tied into the overall design vision with grapefruits intermingled throughout the sweet and elegant installment.
