Popular Wedding Colors: Your Guide to the Latest Colors

Pantone has done it again and come out with their guide to the hot wedding colors of 2010.  This year's colors are all about sunshine!  Even though Turquoise is their color of the year, there are a lot of colors on this chart that a fashionable bride could easily use to style her wedding.

For example, we love Violet with a spring wedding.  You could pair Violet with any of the neutral colors on this chart and you'd get a different lovely effect with each combination.

Summer weddings crave bright colors.  In this regard Aurora is ideal.  This flattering shade of yellow has enough personality to stand on its own, but it also plays nicely with other colors as well.  You could pair Aurora with virtually any color on this chart to achieve a fabulous summer palette.

For a fall wedding, we love the muted richness of Dried Herb.  You could pair this color with Pink Champagne for a sumptuous Fall palette, or use it in combination with Fusion Coral for a spunky, fun feel.

You may think these colors are too bright to use for a winter wedding, but just imagine the effect of a snowy winter wedding with Tomato Puree and Eucalyptus accents.  These colors are lively enough to bring energy to your wedding, but subdued enough to look natural in a winter setting.

The 2010 wedding color chart is just a suggestion, of course.  Picking colors for your wedding can be a deeply personal and meaningful decision, or it can be based purely on aesthetics and what makes you happy.  These colors are just a suggestion, a helpful tool to help get you started thinking about what colors you'll pick to make your wedding sizzle this year.
