2021 Pantone Color of the Year: Illuminating + Ultimate Gray Wedding Inspiration

2021 Pantone Color of the Year: Illuminating + Ultimate Gray Wedding Inspiration

Pantone announced Illuminating + Ultimate Gray as the 2021 Pantone Color of the Year. When ever Pantone presents TWO colors together, a “marriage” of concepts, we can’t help but think it’s wedding perfect from the get-go!

Yellow is bright and cheerful, a color that anticipates what will happen next. And there are SOOOO many flowers available in yellow! Yellow tulips and ranunculus in the spring, yellow roses and dahlia in these summer. Bring me all the yellow coxcomb in the fall!  Gray, on the other hand, represents warmth and dependability (and it’s a fabulous color for men’s suits, bridesmaids’ dresses, linens, and more!). And while the high contrast between these warm and cool hues lend themselves to a modern treatment, there’s no reason it isn’t just as suited for a garden look, something wild, or even a classic design.

Enjoy a little wedding Ultimate Gray + Illuminating wedding inspiration below! My personal favorite is the bright-hued bouquet of yellow pin cushion protea. But what about those gray succulents? How gorgeous are those stunning yellow forsythia branches!?  I certainly wouldn’t mind those long tables with the gray and white linens and pops of yellow. Oh the possibilities… Will Illuminating + Ultimate Gray inspire your wedding color palette?

A night of mystery and masquerade — and the perfect way to fête the 10th anniversary of The Scout Guide Alexandria and the launch of Vol. 10! ✨ 

We loved adding our signature touch of floral drama to this year’s launch party at the Hotel Heron. From a moody and dramatic entrance piece to a flower-filled car, sculptural arrangements on cocktail tables and elevated bar arrangements casting feathered shadows and moody textures, this event let us play in a world of whimsy and wonder.

We’re proud to be part of a guide that champions small businesses and celebrates creativity in our community. Supporting local means investing in the makers, doers, and dreamers who make Alexandria vibrant — and The Scout Guide does just that, beautifully. Cheers to Vol. 10! Special thanks to Sarah and Claire for always being so supportive and encouraging.
