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! 

New, Ready to Ship Rustic Wedding Bouquets

I've been working on several new, ready to ship, rustic bridal bouquets this week. I've added them to my shop this afternoon! 

I had a customer inquire about a turquoise and coral burlap, lace, and brooch bouquet and was inspired to create this one. I have made a similar one, without the coral, but decided since the colors are popular wedding colors and I had some coral brooches and lace on hand, I would make one. 

With fall approaching (can it hurry and cool off,) I am always inspired to create the sunflower and burlap bouquets for fall weddings. This is a variation of my popular sunflower, burlap rose, and pheasant feather bouquet. One of the foliage a in the other bouquet, from a few season back, has been discontinued, so I found a type of wheat grass to make a substitution for the wispy grass. I hope you will like it just as much as the previous version. 

Denim and lace! Denim hydrangea blooms are nestled among creamy burlap roses and assorted lace, doilies, and pearls.

Another sunflower bouquet with tan and brown burlap roses and white lace. Pearls accent the roses and a pearl garland wraps the handle of the bouquet holder. 

Fall is my favorite season and I love all the colors and rich textures of autumn! Sunflowers, burlap roses, dried yarrow and babies breath, feathers, berries, leaves, and vintage ivory lace and pearls create this bouquet. The first picture has it displayed in a mason jar. For your wedding reception, you can display the bouquet on your bridal table in a similar jar or vase. 

All of these bouquets are currently available and ready to ship. If you need coordinating bouquets for bridesmaids, boutonnieres for the guys or corsages for mother, grandmothers, etc. please let me know and I can create a custom listing for you. 

I'm looking forward to helping you!
