The Pantone Color of the Year for 2015 is Marsala, a deep wine color. This styled shoot in Birmingham, Alabama, incorporates the hottest color of the year with accents of peach, blush, and gold for a clever combination.
The Marsala color is incorporated in the invitation suite on stark white paper. A beautiful monogram and elegant script help balance out the daring color for an elegant presentation.
The upper floor of the Avondale Brewing Company features exposed brick and an abundance of windows with natural light. Arrangements burst with color and texture, not to mention the ingenious inclusion of Hanging Amaranthus. Included are strands of wine-colored lace for added softness.
The bride dons a floral crown resembling that of the arrangements. Roses and berries make for an eye-popping accessory. She accessorizes with gold statement earrings, softly curled hair, and a dramatic eye.
Her gown is a lacey dream that features a V-neck with wide straps. It’s a flowing, comfortable fit that adds a gentle touch to the experience.
The groom looks handsome in a dark gray tuxedo and sleek black tie. His boutonniere is crafted with a dark red rose, greenery, and a small feather detail.
The tablescape is bright and beautiful. The bride and groom can sit on distressed wooden chairs while admiring the blush-colored table. A lovely centerpiece in an ornate gold vase adds height and color.
Place settings include beautiful white and gold china and rose-colored salad plates. Small gold goblets also house pink rosebuds for extra adornment.
A dark cake stand holds a bright white cake. A clean, two-tier cake is decorated with small flowers similar to those in the arrangements around the room.
The addition of lighter pastels evens out the fearless color for a truly romantic look. Never shy away from such a confident color. The right color palette, style, and venue can bring this one-of-a-kind color to life at what will truly be the event of the year.
