Pantone Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid

Pantone has announced their color of the year, and the winner is…radiant orchid! Pantone plays a big role in color trends for weddings, so there’s no doubt this purple hue will be big for 2014.

All the great color pairing possibilities! I see it mixed with greys for softer weddings and crimson red for more sleek + modern celebrations. And if those don’t tickle your fancy, consider olive green for an unexpected yet seriously awesome color combo.

Happy Monday, and cheers to good color!
