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 rooftop celebration that proves timeless can still be bold. For Elaine & Trey’s wedding at Capitol View at 400, we leaned into classic green and white, but elevated it with sculptural greenery installations, gold Harlow stands, and skyline views that stretched for miles. A ceiling of foliage softened the tented space, while sleek black bridesmaid dresses added contrast and edge. Clean, refined, and impossibly romantic.

It’s Bike to Work Day — and while we usually pedal toward petals, we couldn’t resist sharing this creative twist from Elle & Bryan, one of our couples who wheeled their love of cycling straight into the ceremony. 🚲✨ 

Elle & Bryan’s wedding at Dumbarton House was full of charm, personal touches, and one especially fun nod to their love of cycling. Bicycle wheels became sculptural backdrops, proving that when it comes to personal touches, there’s no such thing as too niche.

Designing florals around unexpected objects? That’s our lane. And yes — it was all uphill in the best possible way.
