Pantone's Colour of the Year 2020: Classic Blue Wedding Ideas

Pantone have recently announced their ‘Colour of the Year’ for 2020 and ‘Classic Blue’ is definitely a shade we can get on board with. On-trend yet effortlessly timeless, classic blue can be anything you want it to be, whether that’s modern, edgy, romantic, or vintage. With a nod towards the midnight sky, it offers a sense of peace, tranquillity and clarity, making it the perfect choice for your wedding. A versatile hue, it also fits in with any style or season. The colour reflects simplicity and we are smitten here at Fascinators Direct. As one of the hottest trends to hit the 2020 wedding season, we’re offering our favourite ideas for adding ‘Something Classic Blue’ to your special day…

 Statement Stationery

Your stationery plays a very important role in your wedding day and is often overlooked. Incorporate a classic blue colour scheme into your save the dates, invitations and on-the-day stationery. This will offer your guests a glimpse of what’s to come and will add a touch of excitement to your wedding planning journey. From deep sea blue cards embossed with golden calligraphy, to minimalist white invitations with sharp blue font or a velvet blue ribbon, there are plenty of options to pick from.

 Jaw-Dropping Jewellery

If you’re not brave enough to rock a classic blue dress, give a nod towards your colour palette with your jewellery. A pair of blue earrings or a dainty bracelet will be all you need for your aisle style. You could even ask your photographer to take a few detail shots of your wedding rings in a plush velvet blue ring box.

 Beautiful Bridesmaids

Your best girls will look like belles of the ball in classic blue gowns! Maxi dresses are the perfect choice to add a hint of drama to their wedding day outfits. If you still love the thought of the mix and match trend, shake it up a little by asking your team of ‘maids to each wear a different neckline. From halter neck to strapless, this way you can be sure your bridesmaids will feel comfortable and confident.
