Every  year Pantone proposes a colour of the year which influences  many areas such as fashion, interior design, graphic and industrial design and of course weddings.

For 2021 Pantone 17-5104 Ultimate Grey and Pantone 13-0647 Illuminating have been chosen; for the second time it was a color combination (see my post).

In the words of Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of “Pantone of the year” ,  “The union of an enduring ultimate Gray with the vibrant yellow Illuminating, expresses a message of positivity supported by fortitude. Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, this is a colour combination that give us resilience and hope. We need to feel encouraged and uplifted; this is essential to the human spirit.”

What do you think about this colour combination for your wedding? You could choose just one of the two tones, or add a third colour such as  lilac, very trendy this year, or even a touch of delicate light pink. In my Pinterest profile I‘ve created a moodboard with this colour combination- have a look to inspire you!

Here are some different shades of yellow for different styles of weddings:

• Freesia, ideal for both country and minimalistic weddings

• Craspedia, the best for a modern, graphic style, or even for a boho one

• Golden rod, perfect for a rustic wedding

• Peony “Lemon chiffon” a must  for a May celebration

• Scented rose ”David Austin Beatrice”,  perfect  for a romantic elegant wedding

• Chrysanthemun enchanting for an autumn feel

• Tulips for a splash of colour in winter

• Ranunculus ideal for a winter or spring wedding

• Slipper Orchid for a vintage vibe
