Orange perfectly fits the bright bold colors that are a hallmark for Indian Weddings. That being said, I think that the best way to play orange is to mix and match with other colors. In summers mix orange with cream, beige or aqua as in the outfit above. In winters, orange with blue or dark mauve would look darn good. 
Most of the brides tend stick to the traditional color scheme of orange with red, pink or green. And, it works just fine if you want to say closer to home and want a traditional look. But, I strongly recommend experimenting a bit and playing orange with cream, gold or aqua. The pastel orange (see the lehenga above) is the new craze these days and is perfect for sangeet, mehendi or other functions. 
(P.S. I have been going a little slow on blogging these days as my hand has been troubling me a lot. It is showing signs of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and if anyone experiences the same pains then please share what to do? And, thanks to Splurgerina for sending me those exercises. I am onto them now.)

hi. First of all, I hope you feel better soon.Take care of your hand.

OH no about your carpal tunnel.
Love orange! I decorated my living room in oranges/reds. Have a great weekend!
Hope you feel better soon babes. So sorry to hear that! I really like the top right corner outfit. Has 'Me' written all over it ;)
Love the orange colors u posted..I like the dress on left in the second set..hope u feel better
Sovina! Carpal Tunnel syndrome already? Did you get your blood profile done? Make sure you are sitting in the correct posture--use a wrist support, make sure you dont have to bend them too much. Make sure you dont have any neck problems that might be causing the CTS. Keep doing wrist movements to avoid stiffness and use ice massage/hot packs for pain relief. if its too much, just go to a doctor honey.
Umm okay. Now about the post, I'm seeing Orange a lot these days and I'm mighty loving it because Burnt ORange and white are colours of my school!! :) However, I quite like orange and blue and orange and mauve combos too, on the flashy side! :)
Listen, better take good care of yourself and I hope you feel better soooooooooon!
Such a beautiful, vibrant color!
You can a brace at most any drug store for carpal tunnel. Wear it as much as you can and see if that makes a difference! If you can't find one I'm sure they can be ordered on the internet. :)
Orange is such a gorgeous colour to wear. I'm especially loving the orange clothes you've showcased.
Sovina I look forward to your so innovatively put together blog post. The pictures in Orange are all so beautiful and full of life.
Please take care of your hand. There is a squeezy ball that helps in case of Carpal tunnel syndrome.

this is real oindian blog love to see this
This orange inspiration is great! And I definitely like the idea of trying to keep it in a more modern colour scheme by using cream and aqua or something!
My mom has quite a lot of trouble with her hands as well. I'm not really sure what you can do about it. She has an exerciser thing that you squeeze to strengthen your hand, but that may have been for some other problem (she seems to have lots). Definitely talk to a doctor.

Hi Sovi...congratulations on all the awards...
Somebody is getting to be famous n loved n how;-)
I loved the look of those linen shorts in the previous posts...sorry checking them all out now n commenting here...
You look super haaaaaaaaaaawt!
And the orange n cream outfit is soooooo happening!
You are right that we must experiment more with colours than fitting in the traditional roles!
Stay stylish!
Hugs:-)
I never wear orange as I feel it would make me look like a giant mango! :P Hope your carpal tunnel gets better soon!

I find orange a very difficult color to carry because if not done right, it ends up looking garish and loud. But you are right, orange would totally go with the opulence of an indian wedding!
I love the use of orange in Indian weddings. It's such a rich warm color.
orange is a beautiful colour!
orange color is all time fav....it can embrace ur persona if used properly
Ohh! I hope u r feeling better now. I have no idea about Carpel Tunnel so I will refrain from giving you any advice, but do get well soon :)
A lot of brides are experimenting with orange - but for other functions like engagement, sangeet & all, not for the wedding so much. But it is a pretty color :)
@tanveer- yup feeling much better now..most of the wedding stuff available in orange color is not very heavy..as a wedding outfit would have..so i guess that's the reason it is popular for wedding functions...one reason could also be that traditional gold jewelery doesn't stand out very much in orange as it gets all mixed up..that could also be the reason..you have a good eye :)
sovina dear...glad to know your hand is recovering now..
I love orange too infact my reception sarri was of orange color only..
I have missed quiet a lot of post of yours lately and i myself don know the reason.
use a wrist band daily and also try physio...beautiful blog you have here...can spend a lot of time on it!
@ anamika - as i said no worries..if you miss them again i will shout out loud to you ;)
@ nalini - thank u so much..i am glad that you enjoyed here :)
