The results are in. Among the Pantone 2009 SPRING Fashion Color Report Top 10, PANTONE 14-0754 Super Lemon, made the grade. What does that mean? Well, Pantone is the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries. You’ll see these colors showing up on runways, magazines, showrooms everywhere. Ever wonder, who decides what’s IN and what’s OUT, well, this is the foundation of that judgment.
SO, weddings in Yellow! Sound scary? It can be if not implemented carefully. I’m here to help you take Super Lemon, the bright yellow hue and create a fabulous design for your event!
A look I am a huge fan of is monochromatic! To me, it just screams classy chic and it would be perfect in yellow! Take it from a church whisper to an all out statement of celebration when you move through this happy hue in subtle transition. Here’s what I mean…Your gown, most likely in white or ivory, (I envision slightly off white chantilly lace) will provide the start point color. Input a pinch of yellow in the bridal bouquet with beautiful white peonies, cream French roses, accented by a whisper of yellow hyacinth and yellow tinted hydrangea (fiftyflowers.com) makes a beautiful addition. Onto the wedding party, bridesmaids in golden yellow, still keeping it bright. The style, according to location and time of day, could be very Jackie O, clean line, simple, I see boat neck raw silk fitted bodice with full knee length bottom. Their bouquets, hand tied French yellow tulips and daisies. Into the reception, go with fun but classic, use glass centerpieces with lemons and beautiful lush florals pouring out mimicking the flowers used in the ceremony.
Word to the wise - skip the funky for this monochromatic style; it will appear overdone and inconsistent! If you do wish to go funky with this bright and beautiful tone, do so, and do it in style - choose a contrasting shade of bright pink to complete the palette!
Happy Planning!
