It’s always fun to find out the color Pantone has chosen as its Color of the Year, and 2019 is no exception! We’re definitely predicting this year’s selection, Living Coral, to be a popular shade for wedding flowers, linens, wedding party attire and more throughout this year and, likely, beyond. On its website, Pantone describes Living Coral as “an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge.” To our eye, it’s similar to past Color of the Year picks Tigerlily (2004), and to a lesser extent, Tangerine Tango (2012), but that makes it no less of a vibrant and beautiful choice for a wedding.

The only flowers that typically come in a true coral shade are peonies, as well as certain roses and godetia. However, you can also achieve the effect of a coral color palette by incorporating a mix of orange and pink flowers, which tricks the eye. This approach allows you to select from a wider variety of blooms. Of course, we’re happy to give you more specific suggestions based on your vision!

For now, to celebrate Living Coral’s accolade, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite coral images from past weddings to inspire you!

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.
