Painting your wedding in a medley of intentionally chosen colors is one of the best ways to bring your wedding vision to life. While there are an endless number of color swatches to consider for your nuptials, the Minted + Brides Color of the Year 2025, Verona Sunset, is one hue you’ll want to have on your radar. Bright, punchy, and effervescent, this shade of orange will undoubtedly make a splash at your wedding. Not to mention, this dynamic tone is inspired by the northern Italian city where one of literature's most famous love love stories, Romeo and Juliet, took place—making it the perfect addition to your own romantic nuptials.

No matter the season, Verona Sunset will animate your nuptials. The playful orange tint is perfect for warm-weather outdoor weddings when combined with other lively hues, from hot pink and sunny yellow to pastel peach and soft lavender. When paired with velvet fabrics, rich jewel tones, and foliage-inspired tones of burgundy and gold, the color will also work for a fall fête. Even a dose of forest green or navy blue will make Verona Sunset a viable option for a winter affair.

And regardless of where you’re hosting your celebration or your aesthetic, this Italy-inspired shade will be a versatile accompaniment: For instance, orange-hued flowers will add a refreshing touch to romantic garden nuptials, whereas the shade will take on a bohemian undertone in the presence of pampas grass and rattan accents or a nautical feel set against a sandy shore. Whether you add the color to your paper products, altar installation, reception tablescape, or any other element of your day, Verona Sunset will elevate your nuptials and offer a visual experience for your guests.

Wondering how to include Verona Sunset in your big-day design? Read on for 30 orange wedding décor ideas that prove just how versatile our Wedding Color of the Year is.

Include a Nautical Nod

If you’re throwing a coastal bash, Verona Sunset—when paired with golden yellow and baby blue—will complement the setting. Combining the orange hue with yellow will mimic a striking sunset, while pops of blue will represent the crashing waves along your waterfront site—which is exactly what Abby & Caroline did at this duo's nuptials. Make like Anne Robin Calligraphy and introduce this color palette through your wedding stationery, complete with illustrations of a lighthouse to signify the beachside locale.

Mix in Pastels

While Verona Sunset is bright and bold, it looks beautiful beside softer pastel shades for a spring wedding. This bridal bouquet of dahlias, peonies, and roses, arranged by Porcelain and Vine, is proof: Alongside cream, millennial pink, and flamingo, the vibrant orange shade takes on a more understated, airy appeal.

Completely Go for It

Because this punchy shade is saturated, incorporating other comparable tones into your wedding is a no-brainer. Consider grouping Verona Sunset with magenta, ruby red, peach, and yellow—a palette shown on this floral arch by Ivie Joy, which was made for a wedding planned by Pejy Kash Events—for a color-focused affair with an eye-catching impact. Introducing this medley of hues at a natural venue, such as a beachfront ceremony, will particularly make the colors stand out.

Rethink Your Aisle Runner

Many engaged couples typically walk down the venue’s pre-existing walkway for their ceremony—or, at most, they lay out a white carpet. Instead, try an unexpected aisle runner: a silky sheet of fabric in Verona Sunset. This exuberant idea—dreamed up by Grit & Grace featuring florals from Max Owens Design—will transform any setting, especially neutral-toned areas, like forests. To heighten the intensity of the color, dress it in greenery, which will blend into the surrounding shrubs.

Execute an Autumnal Vision

Fall weddings aren’t exempt from Verona Sunset. To give this dynamic color more of a muted feel for the cozy, brisk season, consider decorating your altar in gold mums, orange leaves, and terra-cotta urns. Lupita Tirado and Dia Uno used this trifecta of hues to create a monochromatic setting that let texture shine.

Pair It With Organic Accents

Organic weddings typically have neutral, earthy tones, but Verona Sunset will add a playful touch. For example, Amorology built this couple’s chuppah for their The Flintstones-inspired affair in San Diego to mirror a natural rock formation—and with an asymmetrical assortment of orange blooms (by Native Poppy) adorning the base, the neutral structure was converted into a more attention-grabbing one.

Use It on Your Signage

Integrating Verona Sunset into your big-day signage is a fun way to use the shade—especially if it isn’t a focal hue in your palette. You can either make the orange tone the backdrop of your paper products (exactly like this couple’s welcome sign by Birch Events, which they displayed at their Palm Beach rehearsal dinner) or splash an orange font on a more neutral background.

Decorate a Tropical Garden

If you’re tying the knot in a palm tree-covered vicinity with a tropical feel, Verona Sunset is a splashy shade that will complement your aesthetic and setting. For example, high-top tables covered in orange satin linens for cocktail hour fit the vibe at this Palm Springs wedding planned by Meag Breanne Events. Paired with other vivid tones of pink and yellow, the shade grabbed everyone’s attention.

Showcase the Shade Solo

Monochromatic wedding décor always looks sleek and stylish, no matter what hue you choose. With an all-orange display at your nuptials, the wash of color will become the main point of focus—evidenced by this floral installation by Holloway Events in strictly Verona Sunset, which stands out against a background of exposed brick and greenery.

Combine the Color With Exposed Wood

When combined with objects straight from the earth, Verona Sunset appears more grounded. To replicate this idea, try setting up a wooden accent table with your guest book. Then, place an orange bar stool beside it, and decorate the tabletop with orange-colored florals. You can even add other earthy elements, like stone vases, to reinforce this concept.

Add an Antique Edge

For a vintage-inspired spin on Verona Sunset, mix the color with antique accents. A lounge area with a second-hand brass coffee table is a good starting point. Mixed with other woven furniture, an orange velvet couch will stand out—without overshadowing the old-world elements.

Spotlight Waterfront Views

A lakefront wedding with rippling blue water and mountain views makes for a tranquil scene. For an unconventional (and punchy!) twist, add Verona Sunset to the picture. Placing these orange velvet chairs (supplied by Memorable Events) on the bow of a boat—at a Lake Como event planned by Georgia Louise with florals from Flowers and Me—proves that the pairing up these diverging colors works.

Feature Fall-Inspired Textures

Velvet is the epitome of autumnal aesthetics. If you’re saying “I do” in the fall, embracing this fabric in a palette of Verona Sunset, burgundy, and gold will mimic the transitional foliage you see along treetops. For an organic touch, ground the display with wooden accents, like Amorology did here.

Consider a Bold Bar Design

Instead of a traditional whitewashed bar, why not go all out with a bubbly shade, like Verona Sunset? A bar painted in bright orange (like the one that Favored by Yodit Events & Design arranged at this personalized Maryland party) will surely command attention. To make sure that this bold display assumes the primary role, be sure to surround the setup with neutral objects, like a white shelf and white draping.

Incorporate a Pop of Pink

Looking for colors that complement Verona Sunset? Try shades of pink. This combination of hues provides a vivacious gradient that befits outdoor garden nuptials, which this bar scene—composed of pastel pink floral arrangements, fuchsia-colored cocktails, and an orange camel-shaped sign by Bryker Design Co.—shows.

Suspend a Neon Sign

Lighting is one unique way to spotlight Verona Sunset. Consider a neon sign illuminated in orange for any type of wedding and any portion of your day. For example, orange lit-up letters that say, “But first, spritz,” are the perfect complement to your cocktail hour bar, as these scene at a wedding planned by Memorable Events proves.

Try Unique Uplighting

Uplighting is another head-turning way to integrate Verona Sunset into your event. In the scene shown here, individual lights are stationed along the base of the wall, casting an orange glow throughout the room. Other orange-hued details, like vases and lamps, also come to life.

Coordinate Your Paper Products

For a cohesive look, add Verona Sunset to interrelated items. For instance, cocktail napkins, plastic cups, and matchboxes engraved with orange details (like your joint initials, wedding date, and wildlife illustrations) will bring a sense of unity to your function.

Integrate Boho Touches

Verona Sunset also suits a boho-chic fête. Here, Amorology used rattan lanterns and wicker furniture to evoke earthy, effortless flair, while tablecloths, napkins, taper candles, flowers, and other light fixtures in the lively orange tone offered bold pops of color.

Transform a Rustic Setting

A barn venue brings an inherently rustic touch to your nuptials—but you can use Verona Sunset to elevate the country feel of your setting. For instance, modern lanterns with orange and yellow shades and can give a banquet table topped with paisley linens and wildflower centerpieces, curated by Tracy Taylor Ward at Troutbeck, some contemporary edge.

Elevate a Simple Tablescape

An all-white tablescape—like this one arranged by Christopher Confero featuring florals by Peak Event Services—is chic and sophisticated, but incorporating a splash of color will up the ante. Interrupting neutral-toned linens, candles, and china with floral centerpieces in Verona Sunset can turn a subdued palette into a more energetic, eye-catching one—and it's also a welcome addition to a city skyline at night.

Break Up a Neutral Palette

Another way to brighten up a mostly-neutral reception setup is to swap some of the seats with plush couches covered in Verona Sunset cushions. While most of the seating arrangements at this Montenegro wedding planned by DSA Weddings aligned with the white-toned aesthetic, a few bold ones created visual interest.

Create a Subtle Reference Point

Want to include just a small amount of Verona Sunset in your party? Choose one detail to focus on. For example, this rehearsal dinner setup showcases orange place cards (interspersed with a few teal-colored ones), along with a white linen runner, purple taper candles, and small arrangements of pink blooms. Mixing the orange in with a plethora of equally noticeable hues will give the saturated shade a supplemental role.

Opt for an Orange Font

Verona Sunset is a beautiful choice for even the smallest details. If you’re looking for a font color for your day-of paper products, like your menu cards, consider this tint. Orange text will look clean and crisp set against white cardstock.

Set the Scene With Eye-Catching Linens

Instead of injecting a bit of Verona Sunset into your tablescape, go all out by wrapping your tables in colorful linens, like these by Something Vintage. Since your reception tables have the largest surface area, having orange tablecloths (like this lustrous satin one) on display will help create a bold, boisterous bash. For a bit of contrast, consider gold flatware and crystal glassware. If you aren’t afraid of a bit more color, add pink napkins, plates, and flowers to your spread.

Focus the Hue on Foliage

If you feel more comfortable adding just a touch of Verona Sunset into your affair, sticking with orange blossoms (like the ones seen in this Pure Love Floral Design arrangement) is an effortless way to accomplish this. Since our Italy-inspired hue is found in many naturally grown blooms, consider adding this color to your bridal bouquet, aisle installation, and reception centerpieces. That way, you can easily integrate other colors, like the purple and yellow shades also seen here.

Produce a Garden-Fresh Feel

Saying “I do” in a lush garden? Verona Sunset is an on-theme color to incorporate into your palette—the orange hue stands out against green foliage and offers a peppy pop. Verona Sunset blends especially well with similar shades, like peach, pink, and yellow, as evidenced by this Bloomwell and Co. arrangement.

Embrace a Woodland Vibe

On the other hand, Verona Sunset will also suit a woodland vibe. If you want to bring Verona Sunset down to earth, pair it with shades of brown, using wooden flatware and brown-detailed plates on an orange base, like Mariée Ami did here on this tablescape, complete with flowers from Sophie Felts and Sweet Root Village, rentals from Emerson James Rentals, and paper goods from Elsa Madeline. Bonus points if you feature a wildlife motif throughout your place settings, such as leaves, birds, and trees.

Introduce Geometric Patterns

Verona Sunset aligns with the funky hues of the ‘50s. For a retro-inspired, geometric-focused wedding, try covering your tables in orange linens with a blue squiggly pattern (these are from Something Vintage and were styled by Grit & Grace). To expand the color’s impact, bring it into your place settings and centerpieces, too.
