WEDDING TRENDS & TIPS

To reflect the unprecedented nature of this moment in history, Pantone — for the very first time in its two decades of selecting a Color of the Year — has created a brand new color as its Color of 2022, and it’s beautiful.

“Very Peri” is the name of the new shade, a vibrant periwinkle violet/blue with red undertones. Pantone describes it as “displaying a carefree confidence and a daring curiosity that animates our creative spirit.”

Very Peri belongs to the blue color family but a slight violet red hue that, according to Pantone, represents “a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression.” In fashion, design and architecture, the color combination of periwinkle blue and lavender have long been used to instill an overall calming, optimistic and positive effect.

In past generations, couples have tended to stick to one or two color tones for their wedding palette. Today, couples are choosing more elaborate color schemes in order to evoke a particular mood and ambiance for their event. With its complex color make up, Very Peri is a fantastic choice for brides.

For stationery, Very Peri can make a beautiful background color upon which gold accents are stunning. Consider gold lettering or gold leaf detail on your Very Peri invitations.

For flowers, imagine dried lavender and pops of periwinkle flowers interspersed with peach roses, cream peonies and greenery.

For your tablescape, create a sophisticated look with a periwinkle table runner and napkins with a lush floral centerpiece of pink and lilac flowers. Add gold cutlery and gold-rimmed glasses, and you’ve got a gorgeous table.

Compared with past selections of Pantone’s Color of the Year, Very Peri is a bold, complex color that will pair up well with blues, purples, neutrals, coral, peach and pastel shades.

Pantone says that Very Peri represents creativity, transition and new beginnings, a perfect theme for the new beginning of your wedding day.
