It's always an exciting time when Pantone announces what the new 'Colour Of The Year' will be.
This year it's Emerald - a sophisticated, cultured, chic shade of green.
First off, I am completely loving these emerald green heels from Aruna Seth. How fabulous would they be peeping out from beneath a traditional white or cream wedding gown?
So How Will Emerald Green Work For You?
You can set the tone for an emerald green wedding theme from the moment your wedding invitation or save-the-date pops through the letterbox of your guests. If you don't feel like doing the emerald thing in its entirety, how about introducing a peacock wedding theme - with hints of emerald green?
Whether you're getting married in the summer or the depths of winter, emerald green works. Pair with brights in summer and deeper, dynamic hues in winter ... Berry reds, winter whites, aubergine purples ....
Dress your bridesmaids in emerald green - but ring the changes and give them dresses in different styles - let them choose a neckline and a length which they will find flattering. Browse the bridesmaid frocks from Dessy and you'll find masses of different styles in emerald green, as well as matching accessories.
Need some more inspiration to plan your emerald green wedding? Check out the Dessy Pinterest Boards - which features a board with ideas for a green wedding theme.
Don't forget, if you're looking for colour inspiration, that Pantone has a variety of tools to help you. Choose colour swatches or the Dessy Colour Fan Guide will help you put all your shades together in one place, so you can really get thinking.
