Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2019: Living Coral

Coral - Colour of the Year 2019

If you’re anything like us at Fascinators Direct, you’ll love keeping a close eye on the latest trends to hit the wedding scene and there’s one we just can’t ignore. Pantone have released their Colour of the Year for 2019 and this vibrant shade is guaranteed to leave you swooning. Living Coral is bright, bold and beautiful – the perfect fit for a summer soirée. From your aisle style to your décor, we’re talking all about how you can incorporate this gorgeous colour into your celebration and wedding guests can expect to see coral fascinators, coral hats and occasion wear outfits in the high street fashion stores this Spring.

Living Coral is super versatile: it works beautifully alongside accent colours including grey, navy and even green. However, it also looks incredible used alone, so the choice really is yours! So, if you want to add a burst of colour into your big day, look no further than Living Coral. Bound to steal the spotlight, Pantone chose this colour for its optimism, joy and intimacy. What more could you want for your love story? We love the thought of embracing the bright, cheerful side of Living Coral and there are oodles of ways you can use it throughout your special day.

 

If you’re using rustic elements throughout your wedding day, Living Coral will be the perfect partner! Adorn a wooden ceremony archway with colour-popping blooms and handfuls of foliage – you can keep the same style for any wooden wedding signage that you’ll be using. If you’ve decided to have long trestle tables, coral-inspired garlands will make fabulous alternative centrepieces. When it comes to your wedding flowers, work in greenery and ivory blooms. For couples who want to give their day a touch of tropical, why not add in a few yellow flowers? When it comes to your place settings, white charger plates paired with silk coral napkins and gilded cutlery will be all you need for a stylish tablescape.

 

Your bridesmaids will look beautiful in Living Coral-coloured gowns. We recommend offering them foliage-based bouquets to hold, you could tie them with a simple satin coral ribbon for that all important finishing touch. As for the groom and his ushers, navy or grey suits will look dapper teamed with a chic coral buttonhole and handkerchief. When it comes to your wedding guests, we have plenty of options for them to choose from for their accessories. Our coral hair fascinators will transform any outfit, taking the dress code from drab to fab and can be a striking colour choice for the Mother of the Bride.

 

Make your guests’ mouths water with a magnificent Living Coral-inspired wedding cake. If you want to give your cake a hint of luxury, opt for subtle golden icing or a metallic cake topper. You could create an epic wedding dessert table with an assortment of cake pops, macaroons, cookies and even fruity cocktails.

As you can see, we’re totally head over heels with Pantone’s choice for 2019 and we just know you’ll love it as much as we do. We can’t wait to see how this stunning shade takes over the world of weddings, interior design and fashion.
