Orange You Excited

With two of my good friends newly engaged, bridal shower season has arrived once again. I'm inspired by this chocolate & orange color palette, it's a welcome shift from the traditional pastels typically associated with a spring shower for a summer wedding.

Create a menu of ridiculously rich chocolate cupcakes, orange slices drizzled with chocolate, and other sweet treats and you're good to go. Take advantage of the rich autumn colors, long stemmed orange blooms, patterned place cards. Inevitably, steer clear of the usual while aiming for the beautifully unusual, and you're bound to host a lovely time!
