Seasonal Color Inspiration

One of my favorite things about growing up in New England is the change in season, with the leaves just beginning to show hints of red, orange, yellow, yellow-green, and even purple peeking through we're inspired by Autumn.

Color affects the atmosphere of a room, the impressions we make when we meet someone for the first time, and the mood of a moment. In the context of a wedding, your choice of color can be especially important: All the lovely details of the wedding; the ink, ribbons, flowers, linen, shoes, dresses, neckties... can all work beautifully together to leave a lasting impression of the occasion.


For instance: Spring and summer are the perfect time for pastels, and summer is ideal for vivid colors as well. Autumn allows you to combine collections of brown, while rich jewel tones work well for holiday and winter weddings. Softly iridescent colors are best for daytime ceremonies and receptions; metallic neutrals, like bronze, gold, and platinum, are stunning at night.


After fashion week in New York, Pantone always puts together color reports for both Spring and Autumn. And although these aren't meant to be wedding specific per se, it's fun to see what is considered the ''it'' colors for the season...especially since what becomes an ''it'' color for fashion, tends to have a way of inspiring wedding color choices as well.
