Bold Orange Wedding Color Palette Inspiration

I love the idea of using a bold, almost neon, orange as a unique wedding color! When paired with soft neutrals, the orange really shines, bringing a fresh, modern vibe to your wedding day. I think bridesmaids in neutral dresses with super bright accessories and shoes is a great way to introduce a pop of color without overwhelming the other details.

Color Palette Inspiration: Pantone Color of the Year 2013

Yesterday, Pantone announced their Color of the Year 2013, PANTONE 17-5641 | Emerald! Their description:

Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony.

What are your thoughts on this color? Personally, I love the jewel-tone quality and richness of the hue. It is a big change from last year’s color of the year, Tangerine Tango, but a welcomed one, I think. Here is a little inspiration board to get you thinking about Emerald for your upcoming wedding or event!

Color Palette Inspiration: Gold

Who doesn’t love a little metallic inspiration? I knew I had to create a gold inspiration board after seeing the lovely homemade gold cotton candy on Pinterest. Of course, a little gold detailing will add the perfect touch of glam to your modern wedding!
