Wedding Colors: White Plus...

Juicy winter citrus fruit was the inspiration behind this cheery duo. To replicate the centerpiece (which was created by Quatre Coeur), fill white bowls and platters with navel oranges, clementines, and kumquats. For contrast, add lemon leaves and white gardenias, orchids, and stephanotis. Complete the look with an orange table runner and water glasses. The Details: Richard Ginori "Eclissi Platinum" dinnerware and "Oblique" wineglasses. Cutipol "Moon" flatware (shophorne.com).

White and orange also yield a truly lip-smacking mix of tastes and textures -- from crispy sweet-potato pancakes to crunchy white asparagus, creamy cauliflower soup, and salty serrano ham. Serve it all against a graphic backdrop. Try orange-rimmed white plates with a sleek midcentury feel, plus coordinating ticking-stripe fabric for tablecloths.
