PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR 2021 : ILLUMINATING

PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR 2021 : ILLUMINATING

As you've probably heard, Pantone announced their color, or should I say colors of the year in December; Illuminating and Ultimate Grey are the new trendsetters in town. And we know what you're thinking, how the hell do I integrate a color as bold as yellow or as...dull (read: subdued) as Grey??

That's where we come in! Let's start with yellow! As beautiful as yellow is because of it's bright and colorful nature, it can go real overboard, real quick; that's why it's best to keep it small. Our personal favorite way to use yellow is in the details of your wedding day (think napkins, favors, pops of color in your bouquet). One of our fave couples beat Pantone to the punch declaring Illuminating their color of the year way back in 2019. Take a look a look at how they used yellow on their sweet, sunshiney day!

2020 PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR: CLASSIC BLUE

The Pantone Color of the Year dropped last week and we want to talk about it! Last Wednesday we waited with bated breath on Pantone's Instagram post announcing 2020s Color of the Year. They teased a few snaps of a gorgeous sunset and we were convinced that the COTY might be an Orange Blossom, a Ruby Red, or Bold Fuchsia so when Classic Blue was announced we were a little… underwhelmed. Blue is a beautiful color both in and outside of wedding design, but being lovers or all things extra we expected something a little more dynamic. I headed over the Pantone's blog for more insight on the choice. They described Classic Blue as:

Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.

- Pantone

And that's when we got it; calm, confident, and dependable though not always top of mind when dreaming up wedding color palettes, are some of the most important components to planning a wedding and a life with your boo. While going through our gorgeous wedding archives, we found so many past weddings that'd used blue to compliment their wedding style. Each exuded elegance, style, and understated beauty. Classic Blue, it took us a second, but we're into you.

Updated Colors for an Autumn Wedding

Updated Colors for an Autumn Wedding

Deciding on color combinations can be one of the most challenging parts of planning a wedding.

We love bright and cheerful, spring or summer colors accented throughout a wedding because it takes this already joy-filled event up a notch. However, as we enter into the fall season, color schemes change to jewel tones which tend to make the wedding a bit darker. If you want a crisp, fall wedding but still want some of those cheery pops of color, fear not! We have some new ways to extend those fun colors that we love so much, into this new season with some unique combinations of color schemes!

First up, is a combination that allows you to bring in that bright pop of fuchsia! It is a surprisingly flexible color that transitions well into just about every season. If you are totally set on having those bright pink bridesmaid dresses or floral centerpieces but are worried about bringing it into a fall wedding, all you have to do is just add some wine and chocolate-colored accents. This palette does not let you escape the jewel tones but it does brighten them up a lot with that gorgeous shade of pink! This pairing makes for a perfect and unique color scheme to use in your fall wedding!

The key to this color combo is choosing bright colors but opting for slightly darker shades. Anchoring this palette is a perfect, crisp, Autumn red and a darker shade of yellow. Yellow is a perfect transition color for fall since it is such a happy color and still radiates that feeling from its darker shades. We love a good pop of coral but in this scheme, the coral charm is a shade darker than its usual bubble-gum brightness. The poppy orange is actually the perfect mixture of red and orange to mesh well with its surrounding colors. This pallete is super pleasing to the eye and will be sure to bring some extra brightness into your fall wedding. 

Pastels in Fall? That's right! We totally love this combination because it brings beautiful, Spring colors perfectly into the Autumn season. Like the previous color scheme, we are again, anchoring this one with a cranberry color. However, this time, we are adding in elements of purple and cream. The darker shades of cranberry and lavender tone down the light, lilac color and the cream shade helps balance all three of them out.  I know what you are thinking... This is a completely surprising mixture of colors! It is definitely the most unique out of the three but it would look absolutely beautiful for your outdoor Texas wedding!

We are totally inspired by these unique color combos and hope you are too!
