Adding a Punch of Color to Your Wedding
Put some color into your hair. Headbands are a popular item among the 2010 brides and they can easily be customized. A simple fabric headband can be adorned with colorful crystals or can easily be wrapped in brightly colored ribbon. For a bit more pizzazz, add a brightly colored flower in your hair or several different color flowers. You could also add a brightly colored feather or flower onto you veil.

Look from bold reds, blues, and yellows to be hot colors for bridesmaids dresses. Vintage inspired cuts will be popular in styles like sweetheart necklines, high necks, and fit-n-flair dresses. Birdcage veils and retro accessories will continue to be a hot trend. Think sequin brooches, pearls, and lace. Happy Planning!

At Last - 2010 Color Trends Are Here
For weddings, we love the idea of taking bolder colors and accenting them with softer hues. Pantone's Aurora mixed with muted grey would make for a great pairing. Dare to be bold with a combination like turquoise with bright red or hot pink paired with Pantone's Fusion Coral to create a unique and gorgeous color combination.
