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?
