Spring 2014 Color Palette

Color news! Pantone have recently revealed their spring 2014 color report and I cannot wait to see what types of trends this brings to the wedding industry!  Designers have combined soft pastels with brights to generate a vibrant equilibrium!

Spring marks the start of our very busy wedding season so keep an eye out for our go-to spring color palette!

“This season, consumers are looking for a state of thoughtful, emotional and artistic equilibrium,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “While this need for stability is reflected in the composition of the palette, the inherent versatility of the individual colors allows for experimentation with new looks and color combinations.”

For over 20 years, Pantone have examined the designers of New York Fashion Week to bring you the season’s most central color trends.

Keep your eyes open for these beauties this season!

Where to Start!?

When planning a wedding the first question I am always asked is “where should I start!” Choosing your wedding theme is a great way to set the scene and create a cohesive look on your special day. It’s vital to select a theme as early as possible in the planning process as it will help guide your various fashion and wedding style decisions. By choosing and sticking with your theme it is very helpful for wedding vendors to come up with ideas for your flowers, cake, menu, invitations, bridesmaid dresses, etc., color and theme are the unifying feature for all of your wedding details!

Here are some quick tips on picking the perfect wedding theme:

1. Consider your hobbies and interests that you and your husband have in common. This could help locate the perfect venue, design the perfect save the date card, or create a unique and unforgettable cake!

2. What are your favorite colors? This is a fundamental question you must ask yourself while you are choosing your bridesmaid dresses and color scheme for the wedding. Flowers and table linens make a huge impact on the overall look of your day!
