One of the first things a bride- to-be starts thinking about is her wedding color scheme! It can be a bit overwhelming, with all the beautiful choices available.
In researching color trends, I came across this wonderful website; www.dessy.com/PANTONE. Pantone, the Worlds Color Authority, has partnered with The Dessy Group to provide brides with a collection of color tools that make it easy to achieve a perfectly color-coordinated wedding. After setting up an account, you can explore wedding color combinations and create an Inspiration Board with the colors and styles of your choice. You can upload your own inspiration photos and then save and share your board with vendors and wedding party members via email or your wedding website or blog. You can order Pantone Wedding Swatch Cards so that you can accurately communicate your color choice to your vendors who have color related tasks (think invitations, cake décor, flowers, etc.) For $10.00 you get an 8.5” by 11” swatch card that is divided into 14 chips for sharing. I think this is a tremendous asset to any bride.
If you are trendy, you might want to consider turquoise, forecasted to be a top color trend for 2010! Living here in the beautiful southwest, I can just imagine all the possibilities of using turquoise, perhaps with coppery accents, for a beautiful wedding palette. Our local linen rental companies have many gorgeous turquoise table linens as a starting point for reception décor.
