Learn from Tess and Brian: Carry an all orange, rose bouquet down the aisle for a pop of color. Match the flower in your hair to the flowers in your bouquet for a pulled together look. Wear layers of pearls to accent a strapless dress for a chic wedding day look. Make sure your bridesmaids stay warm all night by giving them pashminas that match the color palette.
