The first place brides start when planning their wedding is
often with color. There is no need to plan your big day based on what is
currently popular, but choosing a trendy color will increase the number of different
products that are available in that
shade. Two years ago, “mint” was thought of as an ice cream flavor, not a
fashion statement. Now, Pinterest is claiming that mint green is the single
most searched wedding color on their site, so manufacturers and stylists are
making sure that they have plenty of options available for brides in this trendy tint.

Pantone is showing
that jewel tones are also going strong: Emerald Green, Monaco Blue, and a bright Poppy
Red. Don’t forget, these colors aren’t just for flowers and linens any more.
Cakes are more colorful, invitations are intense, and even bridal dresses are brilliant!
If you aren’t comfortable with bold color statements, add a
touch here and there to emphasize your theme. Have your white bouquet wrapped
with a colored ribbon, or add a couple of colorful flowers to the bridesmaids’
flowers. Pick napkins and a chair sash in matching colors.

A trend dominating both the fashion and wedding scenes is
black and white. My personal favorite! You can do so many things with this
combination. Black and white is easy to make elegant with a damask or chevron
pattern, or make it more playful with polka dots. One of the best things about
using black and white is that many venues offer white and/or black linens.
Using the linens that are on-site will save you the cost of ordering-in all of
your linens.
To keep guests from feeling like you’re trying to send them
to the Twilight Zone, pair with another
color to make it pop. A very on-trend option: metallic! Think black and white
with touches of gold: gold table runners, gold candles and embellishments on
the centerpieces, gold picture frames for décor, so glamorous!
These are the top color trends for 2013, but – as always –
you should choose what you like best!
