If you are looking for a bright and fun theme for your spring wedding, consider Tangerine Tango. The color is alive with a fresh and bold look that will look great on a bridesmaid’s dress or in a floral bouquet. Use Cabaret if you want the same brightness, but prefer pink. It is a romantic, feminine shade that can be used on a variety of fabrics, flowers, papers, and other decorations.
If you want a color just as bold, but not quite as bright, consider the deep and engaging Sodalite Blue. It is more interesting and visually appealing than a traditional navy or midnight blue, and its shade provides depth and texture. It might work well for any dresses, tuxedos, or suits, and would make a great accent color if you are looking for ribbons and table linens that will make a statement and get attention.
Pretty pastels are also available in the Spring 2012 lineup. These include Sweet Lilac, which is a light and dusty combination of pink and purple, and Cockatoo, which is a unique blue-green color that contains a hint of turquoise. Bellflower is a purple color that will make a great traditional shade for any wedding.
The Spring 2012 Wedding Color Trends from Pantone also include neutral and earthy tones such as Driftwood and Starfish.
