Color trends

When looking towards the next year...Brides want to know "what is the hot colour for 2010?"  Pantone has released their "Fashion and Home" color choices for 2010 and the winner is turquoise (pantone color 15-5519)...along with other top choices/recommendations.  Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute writes: "Spring and summer naturally evoke feelings of calm ocean waters and tranquil beach vacations in cool, vibrant, tropical Turquoise. This soothing hue from the blue-green family conjures feelings of escape, especially when paired with Amparo Blue. With more warmth than the typical spring navy, this particular shade of blue is extremely appealing because of its brighter, more energetic attitude."

Last summer, one of our bride's chose turquoise, sandy beige and white/ivory as her color palette...she was channeling a beautiful beach wedding somewhere tropical but her back drop was an elegant ballroom in the suburbs of Chicago.  She wanted to incorporate her beach colors to the ballrooom without bringing the seashells to her theme.  She wanted the ballroom to be elegant and romantic.  The guest tables were dressed with turquoise bichon and ivory poly napkins.  While the flowers were shades of white/ivory with touches of green and accents of natural stones.
