Coral: The 2019 Color of the Year and How to Incorporate it into Your Wedding

 The 2019 Pantone Color of the Year is Living Coral. 

A little about this color from the Pantone Website:

Vibrant, yet mellow PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment.

In reaction to the onslaught of digital technology and social media increasingly embedding into daily life, we are seeking authentic and immersive experiences that enable connection and intimacy. Sociable and spirited, the engaging nature of PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral welcomes and encourages lighthearted activity. Symbolizing our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits, PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral embodies our desire for playful expression.

Representing the fusion of modern life, PANTONE Living Coral is a nurturing color that appears in our natural surroundings and at the same time, displays a lively presence within social media.

Coral has been a oft requested color in wedding bouquets and the following pictures show a few different color combinations and ways to include coral with your wedding flowers. 

This first picture shows a bridal bouquet with coral, Idaho potato, and white burlap roses with bling, feathers, lace, and coral tulle. There is also a small bridesmaid bouquet, pin on corsage, and boutonnieres. 

Turquoise and Coral is a happy and fun color combination! (I have several shades of turquoise that can be used with the coral.) 

 This shows a bridal bouquet (top), small and medium bridesmaids bouquets and a turquoise rose boutonniere. 

Natural and rustic - coral was combined with tan, cream, and chocolate brown in this bouquet. Tufts of lace, tulle, and pearls accent the flowers. 

Navy has been a favorite wedding color for the past couple of years and combining it with coral is another pretty option. 

 This wedding had a neutral colored bridal bouquet and the boutonnieres for the men in the wedding party incorporated the coral. I also made individual roses for them to decorate with. 

Will you be using the 2019 color of the year in your wedding? I would love to help create unique keepsake bouquets for your wedding day. Custom orders are always available, so please send me a message and we can discuss your ideas and needs! Looking forward to helping you this year! 

This week in pictures

This week seems like it's been busier than ever! Here are a few pics from my adventures and I'm kinda like our sweet puppy, I just need a nap. 

Loving the wildflowers on the backroads.

Meet "Durod"! Born a premie, he's needing extra attention and care to get him up to speed. But he's fighting hard and learning to nurse his mama. Hopefully bottle feeding days can end soon. 

Fog one morning on the country roads. 

I was very excited to get in coral burlap this week and created the first custom order with coral roses this week! It's been one of my most requested, yet unavailable colors, but not anymore. 

Coral and ivory pin on corsages. 

Coral and white boutonnières. 

I've seen 3 rainbows this week! This was the only "full" rainbow and certainly cheered me up to see it. It's hard to believe it's now June 1st and we've hardly had a 90 degree day. Usually we are already counting the days in the 100's. So thankful for the rain and rainbows this week. 

My office, one afternoon... Photographing and convoing from the hay barn

The larkspur and day lilies are blooming in my yard. 

A gorgeous afternoon at the farm, while feeding Durod. 

A little glimpse at Miss Gussie, the glamper. I keep adding layers of lace and started hanging stuff on the walls this week. 

Now, if I can only figure out where to squeeze in a nap ;)
