Pantone have just released their colour of the year and their selection makes the perfect addition to wedding details. The choice fell on classic blue, a shade that inspires calm and confidence and conveniently also fits in perfectly with wedding traditions.
A popular saying dictates that every bride should have among her attire 5 items: “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence in your shoe.” We’d personally avoid the coin-in-the-shoe part as high heels are enough of a stressor on their own, but with Pantone’s colour of the year matching this tradition, you are now free to incorporate the colour beyond the garter hidden under layers of fabric. Here are 7 different ways you can incorporate the shade classic blue into your 2020 wedding for the ultimate fashionable do:
1. The Wedding Cake
You can still stick with a reliable almond or chocolate filling, but a classic blue fondant will give your cake the modern edge.
2. Invitations
Among the easiest to incorporate, a blue-hued design makes for a very cool approach.
3. The suit
Get the groom and his groomsmen involved in the party!
4. Blue(berry) bouquet
Blue flowers, especially real classic blue flowers may prove difficult to find, but there are other ways to mimic the effect.
5. Bridesmaid dresses
A safe (and very fashionable) option to fit all skin tones.
6. Shoes
Be it the bride or her maids, classic blue shoes make for a fabulous combo especially when matched with a sparkling white gown.
7. Wedding dress detail
We’re all for sticking with tradition when it comes to the bridal dress, but it certainly won’t add to add a touch of blue in there – embroidery, ribbons or fine details all work!
