Day #16 - Greenery Is The 2017 Color of the Year

Pantone, the worlds color authority, has announced the 2017 Color of the Year...and it's called GREENERY!!!  I'm so excited about this color and it's meaning is "symbolic of a new beginning".  Per Pantone, "Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. Illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate...  A life-affirming shade, Greenery is also emblematic of the pursuit of personal passions and vitality."

I'm very excited to share a few of the photos from a styled shoot we did with Wedding Guide Chicago in 2013 that showcases GREENERY.

Until next time...WEDologize!

The Color of the Year 2015 (Day #14)

Pantone has announce The Color of the Year for 2015 and I'm elated that jewel-tones are back!!!  MARSALA is a stunning color that can be paired beautifully with pastel colors like apricot or a soft green, or stand next to a strong blue or rich gold!

Pantone says it perfectly - "Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness. This hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors."

All right brides, let's make this color come to life on wedding day!

Until tomorrow...WEDologize!

Color of 2014: Radiant Orchid

Once I heard it from Pantone, I was elated!  The Color of the Year for 2014 is Radiant Orchid and works perfectly into wedding planning and design.  It's a great color in florals and attire and you will actually see it pop up in wedding accessories even more.  Take a look at the inspiration board we put together in celebration of this gorgeous color...Radiant Orchid!

And check out some of the colors that pair beautifully with the gorgeous color of 2014.  I especially love the combo using Pastel Yellow and Coral.  Which happen to be your fav?

2013 Color of the Year!

Well Pantone has spoke and here it is...the 2013 color of the year...((drum roll))...EMERALD!  With this said, I like the idea of this color, much more than last year's color selection.  Now let's see if Pantone will be correct once the wedding planning season gets underway.

Below is a little inspiration to get those juices flowing should you decide to add Emerald as one of the colors for your wedding day.

And what's an inspiration post without a FABULOUSLY designed emerald-colored cake.

Until next time...WEDoloigze!
