As new brides begin to plan their spring weddings for the next year, they check Pantone’s spring 2012 fashion color trends to single out the colors that are going to dominate the palettes of some of the most fashionable brides in the spring of 2012. These colors are fun, and there is a shade for every taste, whether you prefer soft pastels or attention-grabbing neons. As Bridal color’s are not limited to decor and bridesmaids alone, 2012 wedding dresses are just as colorful. Keep reading for a complete lowdown on 2012 spring wedding color trends.

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.
