It's back to nature again for Pantone (remember 2017’s “Greenery”?) as "Living Coral" was deemed the 2019 Color of the Year. Quite the departure from last year's selection of the deeply dramatic ultra-violet, coral is bright and playful, and Pantone claims it symbolizes our need for “optimism and joyful pursuits.” If getting married isn’t an optimistic and joyful pursuit, I don’t know what is!
Let’s take a look at some ways you can incorporate coral in your wedding this year.

If that's a little overwhelming for you, opt for a spectrum of shades in the coral family. After all, Pantone says that while coral is "vibrant", it can also be "mellow."

Even still, if coral dresses aren't your thing, opt for a variety of coral flowers in your bouquet.

And don't forget the guys! A coral tie, bowtie, or boutonniere can be the perfect accent to just about any color suit and tux.

Some of you might be thinking that coral may only be used in spring and summer weddings, but that's simply not true! Coral is more versatile than you think! For fall weddings, mix coral with some more typical fall colors like orange, purple, and red.
