The 2021 Pantone colors of the year are Illuminating, which is a bright yellow and Ultimate Gray. These colors convey strength and hopefulness, which we all need a little bit of right now.
Are you unsure of what color you want on your special day? Here are a few trending colors we’ve seen so much of throughout 2021 so far.
Blues:
Lighter blues have been very popular this 2021 wedding season. Powder blue, periwinkles and much more have been a huge trend. Pair these with any other darker tone and it can be used for any season! If you are looking to add hints of light blues, think of adding them to your favors or in your centerpieces.
Purples:
Lilacs and Lavenders have made a comeback in 2021. These lighter colors bring a light, relaxing and beautiful tone to your wedding. The goal for these colors is to be paired with other pastels to create a colorful, neutral but fun pallet to your big day. Use these colors on your stationary, desserts or even your centerpieces to create the wedding you’ve been dreaming of.
Neutrals:
Neutral colors have always been a prominent color in most weddings, and of course they are here to stay in 2021! These colors will be seen as accents for those wanting elegance and chic. Pair these light colors with some greens and darker tones, or more detailed designs on your linens in order to create depth and dimension.
Greens:
Greens have always been used as an accent color in weddings, however this year greens will become the main color of many weddings, but in a more fun, vibrant way. Some greens that will be seen are olives, sages, and pistachio. Green is universally loved and goes well with a number of different colors… and is easy to use on almost any décor item you choose!
Yellow:
Bright yellow has made a huge splash this wedding season. Since Illumination is this year’s Pantone color, it doesn’t surprise us that it has been used as a wedding accent. Some ideas to bring in a pop of yellow are in your flowers, accents on stationary, table numbers, table runners and so much more. Pair this with ultimate gray and ivory to make your wedding day color pop.
