Pantone Color of the Year Inspiration

Pampas grass, glam glassware, holistic cocktails, oh my! With so many 2020 wedding trends on the rise, we can’t wait to see how wedding and event planners go above and beyond to personalize their happy couple’s day this spring! One of our favorite trends for weddings is creative ways to incorporate Pantone’s Color of the Year, Classic Blue. Whether it be through a simple manicure color or an extravagant floral archway there are so many ways to include Classic Blue into your wedding to reap the benefits it was selected for. 

The Pantone Institute ensures its selection is reflective of macro trends that are taking place in society and is commonly influenced by art, media, movies, lifestyles, socioeconomic and political conditions, travel destinations, and new technology. The vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, Laurie Pressman describes it as a “color that anticipates what’s going to happen next” as we enter into a new decade. This definition perfectly illustrates the milestone newlyweds approach through marriage. 

Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute Leatrice Eiseman announced that “we are living in a time that requires faith and trust and is a kind of consistency that the solid, dependable Classic Blue expresses”. Classic Blue encourages viewers to look beyond the obvious, expand their thinking, increase their perspective and engage in an open stream of communication.

To help you reap these benefits the color reflects, FTD has created 4 moodboards geared at showcasing Classic Blue in your wedding through florals. They’ve sourced beautiful bouquets inspired by the four color harmonies Pantone released to compliment Classic Blue and help you tell a color story that you connect with. Check out the color harmonies below! 

 

Now that you are familiar with the Pantone palettes of 2020, use your floral decor, tablescapes and bouquets to express the sensations you are feeling as you enter a new decade and a new life together! Collaborate with your love to share your feelings of mystery, bliss or tranquility with all who attend your special day that will leave a lasting impression and a mark on 2020! Cheers!
