The Maine Wedding Company is an exclusive source of ideas, inspiration and resources for planning a Maine wedding. Maine attracts brides and grooms from around the world searching for planning information and top-notch wedding pros....
"Mama, my colors are Blush and Bashful," says Julia Roberts as Shelby in the film Steel Magnolias. Sally Field snarls back, "Her colors are pink and pink."
Traditional two-color weddings might be as old as that film. Maine brides can chose a full pallet of colors to design their wedding stationary, ceremony, flowers and reception. Pantone Color Institute, the global authority on color, surveyed top designers to find the season’s most important fashion color trends. Here's what they said about this Spring 2011 color pallet in their recent press release:
Flirtatious Honeysuckle is a feel-good hue that brings a festive sense of playfulness to this season’s palette. This vibrant pinkish-red for both apparel and cosmetics makes consumers feel alive, and is a perfect post-winter pick-me-up.
Spicy, gregarious and persuasive describe Coral Rose, a sophisticated orange that, much like Beeswax, a warm,honeyed yellow, conjures up feelings of faraway lands and locales. Pair either of these piquant hues with a cool, refreshing color-wheel opposite like Regatta for a vibrant color combination that will add zest to any wardrobe. Romantic, fanciful Lavender implies sensuality with its subtle hint of red undertone. Combine it with Beeswax or Coral Rose for a unique counterpoint.
Alluring Blue Curacao evokes thoughts of tropical destinations and pays homage to the 2010 Color of the Year, Turquoise. Practical consumers can continue to incorporate enticing Caribbean blues into spring by pairing Blue Curacao with
warm, complementary colors like Honeysuckle or Coral Rose. Peapod, a fresh yellow-green, brings an organic element to the palette and is reminiscent of the green shoots that signify change and new beginnings traditionally found in spring.
Trans-seasonal neutrals ground this season’s palette and provide a stable backdrop for all the other colors. The so-called “nude hues” are represented in the range of ethereal Silver Peony to dramatically deep Russet. Another dependable background color, Silver Cloud, is the quintessential neutral that consumers can rely on to coordinate with everything in their closet.
Be sure to bring your color swatch with you for your floral consultation to coordinate your wedding day flowers. Colors like "blue" or "wine" can mean different things to different people.
