Question: My wedding is on 20 September and my colours are burnt orange and sunflower yellow. Please advise if these two colours will go well together, as I heard from someone that burnt orange isn't 'in' anymore.

Answer: I asked a florist for her opinion and she replied as follows: 'Burnt orange and yellow go well together, but a word of caution: Your wedding is in September (springtime) and the colours you have chosen can, if not correctly combined, represent autumn. Therefore, your chosen colours in combination with others must be fresh and light, not heavy or dull.

Try to steer away from browns, black, reds and dark greens and lean more towards the light (aqua) blues, lavender and lime greens. Don't focus on what's 'in', but rather choose colours that you like best. Remember, this is your wedding and no one else's.
