Earlier this month on the blog we shared our ‘Greenery’ style sheet featuring beautiful ways in which incorporate Pantone’s fresh colour of the year into your big day celebrations.
And today we’re back with further Pantone wedding inspiration, as our fabulous sponsor Shropshire Petals is sharing how to combine its gorgeous natural confetti to create mixes that match perfectly with Pantone’s top ten hues for spring 2017, including more of that gorgeous greenery. Let the colour scheme ideas blossom…
greenery
Shropshire Petals say: Natural and simple, Greenery is the ideal colour for natural, rustic and outdoor weddings. Combine it with brights, pastels and earthy tones for a pretty wedding colour scheme. As green and blue colours look fantastic together, we recommend a mix of different blues and ivory in smaller petals and green hydrangea petals for a bold contrast. Try mixing our Icing Sugar, Blue Bird, Frosted Blue and Envy petals.
niagara
Comfortable and dependable, this colour is inspired by Niagara waterfalls. Mix with pastel colours for a soft colour scheme. We suggest mixing Niagara with Pale Dogwood and Island Paradise using Frosted Blue, Candy Floss and Duck Egg.
primrose yellow
Warm and joyful, Primrose Yellow is a fun, bright colour that will be really popular this spring. Make the yellow really stand out on your wedding day by mixing it with ivory and Greenery. You can choose details in all three colours and mix and match for a pretty springtime feel. For your confetti, make the colours pop by choosing Icing Sugar as your base, then add in Golden Slumber rose petals and Envy hydrangea petals
lapis blue
Bold and confident, this vibrant colour will be seen throughout 2017. A perfect choice for blue colour schemes as it looks stunning when combining with other blue tones. We recommend mixing Frosted Blue, Icing Sugar, Blue Bloom, Duck Egg and Blue Bird for a bold blue confetti moment.
flame
Fun and flamboyant, Flame is perfect to use for contrasting with other tropical colours, such as Pink Yarrow. To really make a colour splash on your confetti photos, we love the mixture of Ginger Snap, Raspberry Fool and Clementine. Why not use the same confetti mix to add some extra detailing to your reception tables by sprinkling some on crisp white tablecloths for a bold colour pop?
pale dogwood
Romantic and feminine, this soft pink colour looks stunning on its own or combined with bright colours. For a more subtle wedding colour theme, mix Pale Dogwood with some ivory and add in a few brighter details to your wedding day. We suggest choosing our Pink Lemonade confetti mix and displaying it in pale pink confetti cones.
pink yarrow
Tantalising and festive, Pink Yarrow is perfect for festival themed weddings this spring. You can really have some fun with this colour by teaming it with other bright colours or different pink tones. We love a bold confetti moment, so recommend keeping it simple yet colourful by using just our Cherry Blossom delphinium petals. This colour would also look fantastic combined with some ivory and used as a petal path for your aisle.
kale
Fresh and floral, Kale is perfect for spring weddings as foliage in floral arrangements tend to be this colour. Mix it with one or two bolder colours, such as Primrose Yellow and Flame, or keep it simple by complementing it with Pale Dogwood. For your confetti, we suggest contrasting this colour scheme with a simple ivory look. Perhaps using our Icing Sugar delphinium petals and having your confetti moment against a darker background, which will make the confetti and the Kale hues in your bouquet stand out.
hazelnut
Earthy and neutral, this colour is a classic with contemporary elements. Combine this pretty colour with other neutral colours, such as ivory, and add in a touch of vibrancy for a chic look. We recommend mixing Cherry Blossom, Icing Sugar and Promise, which is guaranteed to give you that magical confetti moment you’re looking for.
